鸟叔就读过的Berklee College of Music在edX上推出的Vocal Recording Technology今天开课了。本课程讲授有关声乐制作、录音和混音方面的技术方法和新兴的创新。由于国内音乐方面的大学课程较少特别是缺少讲述专业水平的录音技术课程，所以特别推荐这门慕课给大家。

Whether you are a singer, music producer, audio engineer, or just someone that likes to make good music with vocals, it is essential to have an understanding of vocal technologies for music production.Vocal Recording Technology provides students with insight into the voice itself, the recording environment, microphones, equalization, compressors, A-D-A conversion, the listening environment, human perception, natural widening concepts, artificial widening concepts, reverb, delay, and more.Grammy-award winning record producer, audio engineer, recording artist, and educator Prince Charles Alexander offers students a first-hand opportunity to learn the technologies behind vocal production, so that you can enhance your music productions with the most compelling and effective vocal tracks.

另外，该学院近日在Coursera上推出了一套“现代音乐家”专项课程。所谓专项课程是一组帮助学生精研某个主题的相关课程，学生须先完成每门课并获得对应的认证证书，最后还要完成课程毕业设计(Capstone project)，才可获得专项证书。
该套课程由3门课完成，与之前介绍的约翰霍普金斯大学数据专项课不同的是，“现代音乐家”成绩前10名者会有1400美元的奖学金哦！
