Sound Design Techniques is a 4-part online workshop that explores the fundamentals of sound design as well as techniques for experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sound design is the art of collecting, editing, and creating sound effects, ambience, and music for interactive media. Sound design can be paired with film, video, 3D environments, games, or even installations to bring a scene to life or capture a mood. In this workshop, we’ll be working with visual prompts and without to experiment with creative sound design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Throughout four sessions, this workshop will focus on working with field recordings, setting up and using plugins, sculpting a sound with synthesis, and exploring advanced audio processing. This workshop will start with a brief overview of audio software before diving into workflow and the editing and arranging of audio clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This workshop uses Ableton Live but participants are welcome to use any digital audio workstation they feel comfortable with. Demonstrations will be provided in Protools and Reaper as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
