The Challenge
Nowadays, anyone can make a recording of music. But does it sound the way you (the recordist) wanted it to sound?

Reliably producing recordings of music that have the sound qualities desired can be a challenge due to the complexity of the process. The signal path can involve musicians, instruments, arrangements, audio devices, acoustics, formats, techniques, and varying calibers of those components. This creates countless interacting variables that influence sound quality. This makes it difficult for recordists to pinpoint the cause of undesirable results, or know what to do about them. Internet misinformation and marketing hype compound the problem.

The Solution
To provide definitive answers, The Origins of Sound Qualities Interactive WAV Audio Production Course takes the only approach that is logical. It separates the entire recording signal path into 11 distinct categories of components that can affect the sound quality. Then competing formats, designs, techniques, and calibers of those components are compared to each other using controlled, repeatable A/B WAV file comparisons.

The comparisons use a diverse selection of musical styles for sound sources, include sparse as well as complex mixes, and employ industry standard pieces of gear as audio reference points, making the audio information relatable to most sound recordists.

Course Benefits
By clearly revealing how each part of the recording chain contributes to sound quality, this interactive course offers a reliable way to understand where and how elusive sound qualities are created. Such knowledge is key to maximizing your ability to intentionally produce the desired results when recording.

Includes over 90 minutes of video and more than a gigabyte of interactive WAV audio files.
