In this class, students learn from basic knowledge to intermediate and advanced subjects of music production, to understand the process of creating songs, instrumentals for visual production to audio design, from composition, pre-production, and production, to the understanding of final processes to sound a creative piece at a higher level.

Likewise, audio editing elements are taught for content creation such as Podcasts, audio guides, audiobooks, and transition elements.

In general, each student has a different motivation, which is why, through a basic programmatic structure, the classes generate adaptation towards which elements of audio production the student expand their knowledge.

The class is taught in English, so it is requested that the students who participate in it have at least an intermediate knowledge of the language.

One of the main objectives of this course is to ensure
that practice in digital audio is represented by
complete. This includes topics such as: virtual studio (DAW)
along with tools like Pro Tools and MIDI controllers;
hard disk recording and multitrack recorders.

The objective of this course is to explain the topic of sound in
simple form, in terms that are acceptable to both the
creative people in production, including authors and
interpreters, and for those who deal operationally with the
sound mixing and recording or with its engineering aspects.
Exploring the common ground of all these groups, the work of
each can be interpreted by the other. It is also
designed for those who would like to explore the techniques of
audio that have been developed in fields that are more remote
than their own, whether radio, musical recording, television or
sound for cinema.
