Audio and Sound Basics Course By Ask.Video 7.1

This first course in our Audio Concepts series, is all about the basics of sound and audio. It touches on all the concepts and terminology that audio pros need to know as they dive into into typical, everyday studio activities. This includes the physical properties of sound waves: Amplitude, Frequency and Waveshape which are the elements of sound that are creatively manipulated in recording and mixing.

It also covers sound measurements and demystifies the terminology and acronyms you see in plug-in graphs and mixers, like Hz, kHz, dB and dBfs, that help us find just the right settings for particular tasks. There’s even a section on how our human hearing works. This is the basis for understanding the psychoacoustic perceptions that underpin many classic studio techniques and effects. Then there’s a very brief but serious look at hearing protection which is a very important but often overlooked topic.

So if your looking for a truly deep “sound education", tune into this course and the four other courses in our Audio Concepts series!

This course is also published one our education websites macProVideo.com (macProVideo, macprovideo) and Ask.Video (AskVideo, askvideo).
