Course contents

1.Use of effect units and understanding them

In this lecture we will walk through the all types of effect and will explain how they operate.

2.Synthesis

There are several types of synthesis. There are plenty of instruments on the market, some are based on classical synthesis (of specific type), some are hybrids between synthesis and sampler, and they all are powerfull tools in the proces of sounddesign.

3.Workflow in industry (sound)

This lecture will cope with the workflow in sound pre-production, shooting and post production during the creation of a movie. Every stage has its specific problems and needs.

4.Mixing (theory and practice)

Mixing of the movie is the last stage of postproduction, and so it represents usually the last possibility to improve (or even save) your work. We will try to walk you through some examples of how mixing is affecting the final shape of a movie.
