Course Highlights

  • Transform Audio: Boring to Captivating

    Ever thought what’s the best way to EQ the opening of a garage door to make it more dramatic? Or to change the audio envelope of a car engine in order to give it more impact? Video sound design is all about transforming dull sounds into impactful sonic events. We show you how to achieve this with precision, with dynamics, equalization and other sound shaping techniques.

    Features: Glue Mixes without “Squashing”
  • Expand Your Sound Design Palette

    When processing your audio with plugins, the sonic possibilities are literally endless. EQ and compression will give your sound more impact. But with modulation, stereo imaging and panning techniques, you are limited only by your imagination. You will learn how these effects can further boost any video content.

    Features:
  • Practice with Hands-on Examples
