Creating Sounds from Scratch – Syllabus

Creating your own sounds rather than relying on tired sound effect libraries can give your designs a unique aural vocabulary.  This course will provide a thorough introduction to the creation and manipulation of synthesized and sampled sounds.  We will use a series of software packages to build, analyze, and modify digital audio to create sounds that can feel realistic and/or fantastic.
