Signal flow is essential knowledge to understand ANYTHING about AUDIO. This Audio Concepts course, designed for musicians, engineers and producers, teaches you everything about the “ins and outs” of audio and MIDI signal flow. Watch it now! Whether you’re working with a console desk in a large studio or with a virtual mixer in your DAW, it’s very important to have a solid understanding of audio routing and signal flow. This course, by audio engineer Joe Albano covers everything from hardware studio hookup to audio and MIDI signal flow in a DAW. First, Joe covers the basics of studio connections. You learn about the 3 different input connections (mic, line and instrument), how to interpret signal flow diagrams, and how to understand patchbays and audio interfaces. Next, you dive into the concept of “in-the-box” signal flow, where you learn about the importance of audio processing order, how sends and returns work, and the different uses of pre- and post-fader sends. You also learn about MIDI signal flow, you discover how to integrate hardware processors and external MIDI devices into your digital workflow, and more…
In this course, you learn all about the wavelength, absorption, reflection, transmission of sound in the real world. You also learn all about phase, polarity and interference and how these physical properties determine why sound “sounds” the way it does! From there, expert engineer Joe Albano dives into phenomena like Comb Filtering, the Haas Effect, Standing Waves and other phenomena that can impact direct and reflected sound. The final two sections in this course zoom in on Room Treatment and Sound Proofing – essential knowledge for anyone designing or modifying a listening space or designing their own studio.
Developing confidence with music theory (and using it in your electronic music) starts with a firm grasp of the fundamentals. You’ll quickly learn about pitch, sharps and flats, the chromatic scale, accidentals, intervals and more. If you don’t know what those are, you’re making electronic music harder than it needs to be. Every time you want to learn something in music theory, you’ll encounter these terms and concepts. If you’re not comfortable with these terms and concepts then you’ll be at a disadvantage in learning quickly. Learning music theory is fun! But, not if it doesn’t make sense. Do yourself a favor and sit down with this quick course and familiarize yourself with these terms and concepts. You’ll be glad you did! Music theory is a wide, wonderful world and you’ll need to know the language if you want to succeed.
This course explains important music theory concepts that help during the composition or songwriting process. You’ll learn how major and minor scales are built and you’ll learn how and why chords relate to major and minor scales so that you can make better, more informed choices when you’re writing chord progressions (harmony). You’ll become familiar with patterns in scales and chords and learn how composing using numbers (numerals), rather than notes, is the best way to go!
‘Granular Concepts’. Jammed full of everything you need to make your production more vibrant and unpredictable, this pack focuses around granula r synthesis to create truly one-of-a-kind sounds. This extraterrestrial collection of glitching, breathing soundscapes, foreboding risers, abstract beats, talking basslines and robotic layered synth loops is set to bring a degree of unpredictability to the table. As well as a breathtaking set of loops, there are also plenty of dense impacts, sharp reverses and space age transition one shots to glue your production together. This pack will fit most electronic genres, but in particular it would work well with dubstep, EDM, acid jazz, liquid drum n bass and glitch-hop.
