    Besides artistic expression, sound design in the area of film and interactive media also requires excellent technical skills as well as know-how in and understanding of sound engineering. The CAS Sound Design for Audiovisual Media takes this into account, gives students’ comprehensive specialist knowledge in studio and recording techniques as well as the skills they need to use the sound design tools currently available for linear and interactive audiovisual media. Parallel to this, every student’s artistic style is consolidated with individual mentoring sessions, and they are encouraged to develop their own projects and sound designs.
    The focus is on promoting design and communicative abilities which enable participants to work in an increasingly interdisciplinary field in the application-oriented (workshop) lessons (Pro Tools, Max/MSP, Studio Techniques, Game Audio Middleware and Audio Communication). 

    The CAS is an important and supplementary element in the range of continuing education courses offered by ZHdK, strengthens interdisciplinarity and supports the preparation area for the master’s specialization Sound Design for Bachelor graduates who do not hold a BA in Composition.

    The “CAS Sound Design for Audiovisual Media” is based on an assessment of the current situation. The specific target skills are based on the individual interests and entry skills of the students and may include the following study objectives:

    • Knowledge of the central software paradigms of sound design for audiovisual media (non-linear editing/digital audio workstation, visual audio programming, audio middleware)
    • Know-how and skills related to the use of the most important tools and workflows of sound design for linear and interactive audiovisual media; successful exploration and extension of these skills in own projects
    • Basic skills for independent further exploration of their abilities in accordance with their core subject interests (linear media production, game audio, etc.).
