About the course

Acoustics is the branch of physics that studies vibrations. Sound is part of acoustics, as it is generated by vibrations. One of the most common applications of acoustics is architectural acoustics, which deals with sound in rooms, studios, auditoriums and other venues; and that’s the foundation of this course.
This is a beginners course about acoustics, and here you will learn the basics of sound indoors and outdoors, its behavior and treatment. This knowledge will help you to improve the acoustics of your home studio, home theater, rehearsal room, recording and post-production studios, etc.
By applying the principles of acoustics, you will improve the listening experience through a sound system. You may have the best microphone or great speakers but, if the acoustics of your room is poor, the results won’t be great either.
A common problem with poor acoustic treatment is that your mix may sound ok in your studio, but very different when you listen to it somewhere else. These kinds of problems are minimized when you treat your studio properly.
This course is aimed at musicians and creative people who need to work with sound:
•Music producers
•Musicians and singers
•Sound technicians
•Podcasters
•Multimedia producers
•Audiophiles 
Although acoustics is often associated with advanced math, this course covers the basic principles in a practical and easy-to-learn way. A lot of knowledge has been condensed and properly organized, so you can learn fast. You can learn something new in just 15 minutes a day!*
You will be guided by a certified audio instructor (Meyer Sound, Yamaha, Steinberg), with more than 18 years of teaching experience at all levels. From professional seminars and courses up to university lectures, so, teaching quality is guaranteed.
Join a community of more than 10,000 students around the world!
If you want to know the science of sound in a solid way, and want to improve the acoustics in your home studio, this course is for you!
