What you will learn.
Course overview
This course explains what happens between the sound source and the finished audio file. Learners study microphones, interfaces, gain, recording workflow, editing, plug-ins, effects, mixing and file management through guided online lessons.
Practice can be completed with provided session material where available. Learners with their own microphone and interface can also apply the process to original recordings, but an expensive studio is not required to understand the workflow.
