I'm probably going to take this course:
Digital Audio Workstation Basics
Course Number: MIDI 106
The course is designed as an introduction to audio and how it is translated from analog to digital in order to allow recording, editing and mixing in today's digital audio workstation (DAW) environments. Starting with a description and explanation of what MIDI and audio is and how they work, students will learn the basic concepts of how placeMIDI, audio, converters and sampling is used to create and arrange music within a desktop computer environment. The course will demonstrate how to identify all pieces of a modern DAW studio and connect them properly. This will include computers, as well as different types of electronic music devices including synthesizers, audio mixers, sound equipment, and placeMIDI interfaces. Basic operational features of computer operating systems will be discussed, as well as the installation of music software. Students will fully understand the makeup of a modern DAW studio and be able to operate the Humber MIDI lab workstations in order to continue studies in Cubase or general DAW software.
Computer Music Production 1
Course Number: MIDI 112
This course begins with the recording project, the environment, and the start of the actual recording. Students will learn how to prepare for a project, creating click tracks, and understanding the recording process. This course begins with an understanding of MIDI functions: In, Out and Thru, and is quickly applied to "hands-on" experience in the classroom. You are given a solid foundation in all the terminology and skills to combine music and MIDI instruments and devices, effectively using a variety of today's powerful application software. MIDI sequencing will be explored with emphasis on the following: recording/monitoring/quantize/moving, repeating and copying parts/ toolbars/part editing/transposing/velocity and program change/key edit/list edit/drum edit. Digital Audio will be explored with emphasis on the following: set-up and record/audio monitors/part display and editing files and segments/Digital signal processing/audio editors/events/moving, masking and copying events/quantizing and Hit-points.
Note: For successful completion of this course, it is recommended that students have access to a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) consisting of computer, software, MIDI controller, etc. outside of class.
Computer Music Production 2
Course Number: MIDI 122
This course continues from the skills acquired in MIDI 110 Computer Music Production 1. Students will learn and apply advanced audio editing, dubbing in new parts, grouping tracks, converting MIDI to audio tracks and preparing for cross platform projects. The following MIDI related items are explored in detail: events/parts/groups and group tracks/folder tracks/tempo track/master automation track/marker track/quantizing types/audio mixdown/remix/creating drum maps/the MIDI mixer/an introduction to synchronization (MIDI clock). Digital audio studies continue with emphasis on the following: delete files/erase unused segments/importing and exporting files/loading and saving files/ audio editors/track info/event volume and panning/the do/undo menu/mixing/use of effects, fades/crossfades/basic wave editing.
Computer Music Production 3
Course Number: MIDI 132
This course was designed to utilize the skills acquired in MIDI 112 and MIDI 122 Computer Music Production 1 and 2. Students will learn how to prepare for a mix, the use of effects, dynamics, and mixing your project with automation, and exporting your final project. This course will cover topic areas such as types of synchronization for the purpose of combing music with film, television, QuickTime, Internet and other multimedia related applications. Other advanced areas of music production will be explored as well including: creating mixer maps/groove templates/advanced quantizing/hitpoints/time pitch shifting/preparing file archives/digital audio synchronization.
What do you all think? Looks pretty good to me to learn the basics and it's only $230 per course at 12 hours per course. Mon and Wed. nights.

It was way over my head! Imagine not knowing a f"n thing about computer music programs and starting out with Cubase. Ha Ha!
