Samples, beats, loops, vocals. Everybody uses them and everybody has a different sound. There seems to be an infinite variety of sound. Sometimes you can recognize an artist by their “sound” alone and some songs seem to have sound you never heard before. How does that happen? Audio processing. There are a number of tools that an engineer can use to manipulate sounds. In this course you learn about and, through the hands-on part of the course, get familiar with compressors, expanders, equalizers, delays, reverb, mixing console operations, and analog and digital storage media. All these devices and processes can help you create your sound.
