Sound Design & Synthesis Course | Los Angeles
If you want to take the next step to achieving your goals as an electronic music producer, our Sound Design and Synthesis course is for you! With no more than 10 students per class and 36 hours of class time, you will have the freedom to ask our instructors the questions you need answering while learning their techniques and tricks. This course will help you obtain the sounds from your head and transform them into your DAW.
Prerequisite: This is an intermediate to advanced course so learners must have a good understanding of their DAW. We encourage less experienced learners to attend one of our DAW courses first. With an added supplement of $75, students may use our iMac workstations that are provided in class if you do not own the listed software in the class curriculum overview. Controller keyboards, headphones and audio interfaces are always provided for everyone when needed.
If you miss a class, or wish to comeback and repeat the course, you may do so free of charge. Our door is always open to former learners!
