Rating: 8/10 If you’re into sound and weird professors, this is your bag
Summary: The first few weeks of the class were about what sound/music is and how do humans perceive it. The technical level of detail made it feel like sounds were something that could actually be designed and figured out like an engineering problem. That discussion soon devolved into file formats and granular synthesis which were amusingly interesting, but not enough to hold my attention.
What I learned
- Frequency response of the Human ear
- Overtones
