Course Description

Master Sound Design for Music Production, Game Audio, Film Scoring, Composition, and More.


This class is for anyone who has wondered what sound design is all about. Especially:
Producers: If you are making tracks that rely on presets, and you want to learn how to craft your own sounds, this is the course for you.

Aspiring Producers: If you are just getting started with music production, this course will be the swiss army knife that you will keep in your belt forever.

Musicians: If you have wanted to improve your compositions by understanding how the physics of sound and partials work, this class is for you.

Songwriters: Improve your compositions by understanding how to make unique and memorable sounds to use in your songs.

In this class, we start with the very basics of sound design and work all the way up to working with complicated plugins like Xfer Serum, Native Instruments FM8, and others. I'll walk you through every step of the process and explain the logic behind every decision I make.
