The MOOC on Audio Signal Processing for Music Applications starts again
01.09.2015
After a successful experiment last year at putting together a MOOC on Audio Signal Processing for Music Applications, the course is offered again in Coursera. It will start on September 21st but the site is already open, with all the video lectures available, and students can start preparing for it. To enrol go to https://www.coursera.org/course/audio
This is a 10 week long course that focuses on the spectral processing techniques of relevance for the description and transformation of sounds, developing the basic theoretical and practical knowledge with which to analyze, synthesize, transform and describe audio signals in the context of music applications.
The course is free and based on open software and content. The demonstrations and programming exercises are done using Python under Ubuntu, and the references and materials for the course come from open online repositories. The software and materials developed for the course are also distributed with open licenses.
The course assumes some basic background in mathematics and signal processing. Also, since the assignments are done with the programming language Python, some software programming skills in any language are most helpful.
