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.

The goal of this class is for you to learn how to make original, compelling, and memorable sounds for your music.

Software:
This course is NOT specific to any DAW program.

I’ll be using Ableton Live Suite 10 in this course as my main DAW, but if you are using any other program you will be able to follow along just fine. That includes Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Reaper, Reason, Cubase, or any of the others. My method in this class is to teach concepts, so whatever I do, you will be able to do it in your own software.

Genre:
I’m best known for working with electronic music, but I’ve designed this course to be as inclusive as possible when it comes to genre. We will talk about sound design techniques for all genres, sounds, and styles. All genres are welcome here!
