We teach the foundations of audio engineering with a curriculum that emphasizes clarity, practice, and assessment. Each course is outcome-driven with rubrics and project-based checkpoints.
Our approach is tool-agnostic. You learn the principles that transfer between different DAWs, consoles, and plugins. Minimal design helps you focus on learning.
Method & Team Philosophy
Mission
Make audio education measurable, repeatable, and transferable to real sessions—from bedroom studios to live rigs.
We remove guesswork with transparent criteria and feedback loops. Learners progress via small proofs: routing diagrams, tone-matching tasks, and timed troubleshooting drills.
Method
Concept → Demo → Drill → Debrief. Every concept is practiced immediately and then reflected upon with a rubric.
We lean on ear-first evaluation and translatable heuristics (gain-before-feedback, headroom budgeting, reference ladders). Tools change—principles persist.
Team Philosophy
Be precise, be kind, be practical. We teach what we use and publish our checklists to keep quality observable.
Collaboration is the meta-skill: shared vocab, short handoffs, and predictable setups. We model that in critiques and group labs.
Timeline
Foundation Laid
We wrote our first beginner modules for gain staging, signal flow, and metering.
Outcome: learners patch and meter a two-channel path and achieve consistent -18 dBFS RMS alignment within ±1 dB.
Curriculum Expansion
Mixing and recording tracks expanded to include ear-training and referencing frameworks.
Outcome: reference ladder drills (mono, pink noise, target bands) and A/B/C bias controls with blind picks.
Live Sound Path
We added live reinforcement, stage patching, and quick-check procedures.
Outcome: 10‑minute stage patch and ring-out checklist with gain-before-feedback budgeting per microphone.
Mastering Essentials
Loudness standards, delivery specs, and export workflows joined our program.
Outcome: loudness normalization for -14 LUFS streaming, inter-sample peak checks, and DDP/ADM delivery sheets.
