CLASS CONTENT

Sound and Audio

Basics of sound

What is sound, What is an audio signal, Analog Audio and

Digital Audio, this and everything you need to know to work
with Audio will be learned here.

recording equipment
Elements of a study
Learn to work with Mixers or consoles, microphones,
sound cards, monitors, compressors, effects, the
different types of cables and all the other equipment that
makes up a studio.

Your home studio

Know the basics you need

With the knowledge acquired in this course you will be ready

to build your own Home Studio with all the standards and
work with audio from the comfort of your home.

Digital Audio For Radio

Make Drops, jingles and Spots for radio.
Learn to mix the voices of announcers, to create jingles and
drops, to record your postcasts and with this improve the
audio image of your station or program.
 Music production and mixing
SOUND ENGINEERING CLASS CONTENT

The audio in your videos

Set music and add Sound Effects to your videos.
In videos, audio plays a very important role. You are going to
learn how to set music to your videos, put the effects on them
and we will learn how to manipulate the audio from Adobe
Premier itself.

EQ, dynamics and timing effects

Give the touch you are looking for to your tracks
Correct, alter, give emphasis or shape to your audio tracks to
ensure that the sounds combine, merge and, worth the
redundancy, mix with each other and thus obtain a good mix of
your mixing projects.

DAW
Digital Audio Workstation.
DAW is, as its name indicates, a digital audio workstation. In
this course we will learn the basics and more of some
DAWs such as Adobe Audition, Nuendo and Cubase, FL
Studio and Ableton Live.

record a song
Learn how to record a song.
With prior knowledge of music and this course you will enter the
world of digital music production using sequencers, you will be
ready to prepare your musical arrangement and record the
artist's voices and work with Multipistas to make your mix. (You
can complement this area with Audio II).

Mix
Introduction to mixing.
Learn the steps to take to make a musical recording sound
professional, whether sampled or with live instruments.
 Music production and mixing
SOUND ENGINEERING CLASS CONTENT
Reverb and
delay
Working with the effects.
These effects are well used in different genres
musicals, discover the secret behind them and how
get the most out of them.

Mixing tips and tricks

Mixing like the pros
Based on music and sound engineering experiences, extra
methods and tricks have been created to improve the work of a
mix, whether musical, sound effects or just voices.

EVALUATION METHOD TRAINING CENTER

At SDQ we evaluate both theoretical knowledge and

practical skills to ensure that our students
meet all class objectives.

Tasks and practices

They are the points accumulated from
classroom practices and homework
assignments that the teacher gives
during the course of the entire course.

partial theoretical exam

Approximately halfway through the
course, the knowledge acquired up to
that point is evaluated using a digital
exam platform.

Final theoretical exam

On the final day of the course, all
content is evaluated, using the same
digital exam platform as the midterm
exam.

Final project
It is the practical project that the student
must deliver on the last day of class.
The requirements for this project are
found at the end of this document.

Certificate of approval
With a grade above 80%, the student
obtains an internationally endorsed
certificate.
