Understand audio at a higher level
What you’ll learn
Learners will gain a solid foundation of audio theory knowledge relevant to the sound design disciplines
Learners will be able to predict and explain results of audio recordings based on theoretical knowledge
Students will be given a solid basis of knowledge regarding microphone and recording theory
Students will gain a good foundation of knowledge of audio effects and signal processes
Requirements
You will need a digital audio workstation (audio editing software) of some sort, and either headphones or speakers. That’s it! This course is friendly for beginners, so no experience is required
Description
This course takes you through audio theory from A to Z with a particular focus on topics that are of interest to sound designers. Any topic from the broader audio engineering discipline that I feel is applicable and relevant to the art of sound design, I’ve included in this course curriculum. The course doesn’t necessarily teach you sound design, as such, it more focuses on audio engineering theoretical topics that will aid in your journey and give you a denser understanding of what is happening ‘underneath the hood’ when it comes to various tools, software and techniques that we use every day.Starting from the most fundamental of ‘what is sound,’ ‘what sound waves are exactly’ before moving all the way up to some pretty advanced and niche signal processing tools, this course should give you a deeper appreciation of the tools we use.One of the things that I reiterate in the final video of the course is that the theoretical knowledge you gain in this course are tools in your belt that you are able to access when things are going wrong. If something sounds like “A” but I need it to sound like “B” how do I get there? Or I “expected it to sound like ‘C’ but instead it sounds like ‘D,’ why would that be the case?” This course will give you the tools and knowledge to troubleshoot issues, predict the quality of sound before the fact, and allow you to get where you need to go faster!
Who this course is for
This course is intended for aspiring sound designers who wish to understand more about the inner workings of sound and the tools we use. This course may also be suitable for intermediate sound designers who may feel that their audio theory knowledge is a bit lacking
