Objectives
Audio mixing has become an important area especially with the increased amount of artistic output via multimedia and social networks. The course helps learners develop a professional approach in different mixing skills. Learners will update their systematic theory, knowledge and hands-on skills in music programme mixing which they can utilise to help students in school productions and projects. These skills are also relevant for musicians in their own artistic pursuits, opening up more opportunities for collaboration and creative products. Content creators working with digital audio can also utilise these skills for their own projects.

1) Critical listening on recording and mixing skills.
2) The application of the mixing elements including EQ, compression, and reverb.
