Students can take the full Sound Design Course over the course of three 12-week Levels:

• Sound Design 1 - Analog and FM Synthesis:
  • Learn the fundamental concepts of analog, modular, and FM synthesis using technologies built in to the Ableton Suite, as well as hardware and software by 3rd party developers. Here we focus on learning the elements and workflows that all synthesis and sound design is built on, to help you create the sounds you have in your imagination. This course ends with an extended deep dive into the audio effects processing tools used by professional sound designers worldwide.
• Sound Design 2 - Sampling and Effects Processing:
  • Jump into Level 2 with advanced sampling, multisampling, and granular synthesis techniques to help you warp and mangle your sample based content into something you’ve never imagined. Learn to create your own original sounds using advanced sound design techniques of wavetable and physical modeling synthesis found in Ableton Live, Serum, Vital, Max for Live, and other industry standard tools. Create sound libraries, custom effect and instrument racks, wavetables, and more using cutting edge sound creation techniques.
• Sound Design 3 - Advanced Techniques:
  • Work alongside our expert sound designers on your own sound libraries, and learn how to use those sounds in your own original music, library creation, film scores, and sound design for moving pictures. Create custom collections of original sounds, presets, signal processing tools, and more to share with the world, or to enhance your own custom music creation tool kit. Apply your original sounds to visual media, and create custom bodies of work that stand alone and leave your hair standing on end.
