About the Course:

What is Immersive Audio?

‘Immersive Audio’, ‘Spatial Audio’ or ‘3D Audio’ are game changing technologies transforming the way audio is created, produced, experienced and shared. 

They’re designed to be experienced as we hear sound in real life; i.e. in a 360 degree environment, coming from all around us. 

Why is Immersive Audio different?
•   Stereo is 2 channels, left and right.

•   Quad (Quadraphonic) is four speakers, arranged in a square.

•   Surround is multiple speakers arranged in a horizontal plane, along with one or more sub-woofers. 

•   Immersive Audio adds a ‘height' element to create a 360 degree audio experience.

What will the course teach me?
•   You will learn how to use Immersive Audio in music production.

•   The trends and areas of opportunity for Immersive Audio in music production, plus AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality), games, eSports and 360 video.

•   A solid understanding of the underlying theory behind Immersive Audio – Ambisonics, Psychoacoustics, etc.

•   Best practices / issues to avoid to guide your creative and technical decisions.

What’s in the course?

•   Nine topic Modules, each with video, written text, a glossary of terms, quizzes, and practical projects with assignments to help you get comfortable working on your own.

•   A deep dive into some of the top Immersive Audio solutions, including Dolby Atmos, Dear Reality, and Sound Particles. (Enrolled students also get 50% off the incredible SkyDust Spatial Synthesizer.)

•   Written feedback and assessment on Projects in Modules 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 during the course and one-on-one video discussion with course Author David Reyes on your final Project.  

•   David Reyes will also be hosting a monthly webinar, free for students enrolled in the course.

•   Downloadable music content you can use in the projects and assignments. 

•   A Certification of Completion from ASSR signed by Alan Parsons.
