Technical Level 1 introduces students to the fundamentals of sound and audio engineering in a clear, approachable way—without gear obsession or technical intimidation.

Students learn how sound actually works, how audio moves through a system, and how to make clean, intentional decisions when recording and mixing. The focus is on clarity, confidence, and understanding—not memorizing rules or chasing “perfect” mixes.

This course is ideal for students who want to understand how music works under the hood and feel comfortable working with audio tools without breaking sessions.

By the end of Technical Level 1, students will:

• Understand how sound, frequency, and dynamics work

• Navigate signal flow and basic studio setups

• Use EQ, compression, reverb, and delay with purpose

• Record and mix audio without confusion or guesswork

• Build confidence working inside any DAW environment

No prior technical or music experience is required. Students can stop here with a strong foundation—or continue to deepen their skills.
