Hi!I am Sebastian and I welcome you to our course!

You probably know me already from Learn Music Production at Home from Scratch - Stage I. If you don't, Istrongly suggest you take a look at that course first and come back here when you finish it. If you don't, unless you are very knowledgeable and looking for very specific information such as sound absorption, sampling, room modes, drum sequencing and many other things, you will feel lost. In the aforementioned course we start from absolute zero and here we finish with all the necessary theory in order to get real at audio engineering.

As Iwrote before, I am doing some kind of ''anti-marketing'' here. Ican't tell you that you're going to win a Grammy with a 5-minute video on how to mix music. I can't tell you that there is a magical secret that will make you an audio engineering god.And I'm going to copy and paste something Iwrote in the previous course's introduction here:

''The problem with sound is that it is invisible. So let me use a real, tangible example to clarify this further. Let's suppose you watch a video titled 'Building a skyscraper in an hour'. Would you go ahead and try it after watching? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Well, if it helps, think that what you're about to do is building houses made of air. ''

In our Stage Icourse we built the basic foundations. We learned our way through the DAWs, we are competent in using them for multiple purposes, we understand what sound is, what different kinds of signals there are and much more.
Now we're going to delve deep in MIDI, music notation, microphones, studio monitors, physics, acoustics and samplers.

The importance of this course lies in the fact that after finishing it, you will be able to:

• Sample your own instruments

• Understand microphone polar patterns

• Analyse studio monitor and microphone technical specifications

• EditMIDI

• Use advanced quantizing in MIDI

• Use MIDIfunctions

• Understand what power, impedance, wavelength and other key concepts are

• Work with samplers in 5 different DAWs

• Design your own Home Studio focusing on acoustics

• And much, much more in 8+ video hours

So what's leftafter this?We won't be covering recording techniques, mixing or mastering and all necessary processors such as compressors, equalizers, etc. All these things are actually the only thing left after this point onwards, and they are more advanced topics part of ProSoundWaves' later Stages. We are currently working hard to bring all this into Udemy in future courses.

So again, if you got this far reading it means we'll get along well :)
Thanks for your time and hope you join us in getting real with your learning!
