Audio Masterclass Professional Course in Reverb & Effects

This course covers all of the processes of reverberation and effects that are in regular use in recording studio operations. The twelve modules cover delay and echo, natural and artificial reverberation, phasing, flanging and chorusing, pitch change and harmonic enhancement. Applications include the enhancement of voices and instruments, including commonly-used techniques to conceal problems in performance. Also included are applications of reverberation and effects in the mix.

The course is entirely practical and is assessed solely on the learner's practical assignment work. Text and graphic support materials are provided as appropriate, and the course includes audio example files demonstrating reverberation and effects techniques.

The outcome of the course will be an enhanced level of knowledge, skills and experience in reverberation and effects techniques.

Flexible Learning
You can study the Audio Masterclass Professional Course in Reverb and Effects online or by downloading all of the course materials to your own computer. The course can be completed in 12 weeks, or you can spread it out over up to two years if you wish. You can work on the course at any time you choose, and take breaks whenever you like.

Instruction
Each of the twelve modules of this course includes a practical assignment project that you can work on in your own home recording studio using digital audio workstation software. The assignments include tasks that are typical of a professional recording environment. The challenges are tough, but full instruction is given, often with audio examples and demonstrations.
