If you are just starting out with GarageBand, Reason, ProTools, or any other sound program, you may be wondering how sound really works and what all these settings in your program mean. This friendly, experienced and helpful teacher will make sound concepts and terminology clear and understandable.

Judy will provide ample listening examples and visual diagrams, plus frequent self-tests on listening concepts. For the listening, she will play variations of each particular effect (such as distortion, reverbs, equalization, etc), and students will discuss the differences they hear to come to a deeper understanding of the audio phenomena.

This workshop will help you to understand the concepts and parameters of your digital audio workstation, as well as help you to recognize subtle differences in various audio phenomena.
