Murdoch University starts new Sound course

Murdoch University in Western Australia has opened a new course for media students based around sound in media. The Bachelor of Media in Sound offers students the chance to study sound specifically, rather than as a subject within the Film and TV or media department.The announcement:

Western Australia’s Murdoch University launched its Bachelor of Media in Sound – a new course for media students – in February 2011, which led to the requirement to ‘take it to the next level’ by giving students access to the best facilities to use and study sound. 

Rather than having sound studies included as an adjunct to the Film and Television or Media department, the University’s Bachelor of Media in Sound course now offers students the opportunity to study sound specifically, as well as exploring the use of sound for film, music, games and television.

Enter Avid and the System 5-MC.

“When we introduced the Bachelor of Media in Sound last year, we knew that we needed a new facility and the best equipment for teaching and learning all about sound,” commented Leo Murray, Academic Chair of Sound & Radio at Murdoch University.

“We chose Avid for our new facility because of the quality and flexibility of the System 5-MC and because it works well with all the other DAW software. Whether we want to use Nuendo or ProTools or Audition, we can with this system. It’s incredibly versatile.”
