Description : Learn everything you need to know about working with digital sound. In this flagship course, author Matt Mayfield demonstrates a wide range of audio and music basics. The lessons are intended for beginning musicians, songwriters, producers and engineers; those that make the leap from analog to digital; and professionals who need to refresh their knowledge.
Learn everything about working with digital audio. In this flagship course, author author Matt Mayfield demonstrates a wide array of audio and music fundamentals. The lessons are designed for new musicians, songwriters, producers, and engineers; make it from analog to digital; and professionals who need to brush up on a concept or two.
It is a question of what kind of sound it is sounding, including discussions on frequency, amplitude, phase, and psychoacoustics. Matt explores analog audio signal path, explaining connections, gain staging, and metering. He has been discussing the digital audio output in the digital mode.
Then the digits into digital audio workstations (DAWs), explaining the concepts and misconceptions involved in digital recording systems. It’s a matter of fact that it’s associated with digital recording. MIDI data: how to generate, store, process, and communicate. Used for mixing in a DAW — including EQ, compressors, reverb, delay, and many.
