What you'll actually use

Software and techniques you'll work with throughout the program. Everything here is what professionals use daily.

DAW fundamentals

Reaper, Ableton Live, Pro Tools. Pick one and learn it properly—routing, automation, plugin chains, session management.

Synthesis basics

Subtractive, FM, wavetable methods. Build sounds from scratch instead of relying entirely on presets.

Processing chains

EQ, compression, reverb, delay. Understand what each does and when to use it—no magic button thinking.

Game audio middleware

Wwise and FMOD basics. Learn how interactive audio actually works in game engines.

Field recording

Capture clean audio outdoors and in difficult spaces. Microphone techniques, handling noise, basic editing.

Scripting workflow

Basic Python and Lua for batch processing, custom tools. Automate repetitive tasks and work faster.

Learn from anywhere, work with anyone

All sessions run online. No commute, no fixed location. Students join from different time zones—we schedule group sessions to work for most regions, and individual lessons fit your exact hours.

Some recent projects involved collaboration between students in Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America. Real projects don't care where you're sitting.
