Adventures in audio recording : an honors thesis [(HONRS 499)]

In recent years, popular American music culture has seen a proliferation of small acoustic groups and the return of the "singer/songwriter." Examples include John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, and Nickel Creek. As the capstone of my studies in the Telecommunications Department here at Ball State, I have produced a six song CD with a local artist, freshman Jon Hainstock. This recording has required a knowledge of recording techniques, musical aptitude, and ability in the Pro Tools editing and music mixing platform. The final project contained within is a stereo and 5.1 surround sound album with schematics and documentation of the process I have taken in the creation of this project.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
