Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
(1) A thorough and detailed technical and mathematical understanding of Fourier Theory with regard to audio signal processing.
(2) The ability to program audio processing code in the Matlab language.
(3) The ability to design and program specialised signal processing operations, such as the phase vocoder, and various audio effects including flangers, chorusers and artificial reverberation.
(4) An understanding of the Fast Fourier Transform and its significance.
(5) An increased facility with various mathematical concepts, including complex number representations, trigonometry, inner product descriptions, orthogonality as well as some linear algebra.
(6) An appreciation and understanding of issues which separate real-time from non-real-time audio signal processing applications.
(7) An understanding of, and the ability to program simple digital filter structures, including low-, high-, all- and band-pass filters. |
