Course overview
The practice of creating audio pieces through recording, obtaining, altering, or generating them is known as sound design. Usually, sound design requires the repurposing of previously written or recorded media, like sound effects and music. Ultimate Sound Design : Mastering Sound Design online certification is designed by Jason Allen - Ph.D. & Ableton Certified Trainer and is delivered by Udemy for the students who want to enhance their skills and knowledge in the principles of sound design.
Ultimate Sound Design : Mastering Sound Design online classes incorporate more than 7.5 hours of virtual lessons backed by 4 articles and 2 downloadable resources that begin with the fundamentals of sound design and progress up to working with challenging plugins like Xfer Serum, FM8, and others. With Ultimate Sound Design Complete: Mastering Sound Design online training focuses on providing students with a thorough understanding of topics including sound physics, sound synthesis, additive synthesis, physical modelling synthesis, and more.

Who it is for
What you will learn
After completing the Ultimate Sound Design : Mastering Sound Design certification course, students will acquire a detailed understanding of the physics of sound for sound design operations using software like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro X, and Reaper, Cubase, Cakewalk, Garageband and more. In addition to learning the basics of FM synthesis, additive synthesis, and wavetable synthesis. Students will explore the techniques connected with sound envelopes, sound filters, and sound generators. Students will gain knowledge of the functions of the mog mother 32, serum plugin, and FM8 plugins as well as the concepts underlying bass, drums, and lead sounds.
