Korshub's take
The two tools every audio engineer reaches for first
EQ and compression are described here as the most-used tools in audio engineering, shaping everything from music mixes to film and TV sound, and even showing up in everyday gear like car stereos and smartphone EQ presets. This one-hour course, taught by an instructor with over 15 years of audio experience, breaks down what each tool actually does and how it's used in practice.
Who it's for
Beginners starting out in audio engineering, though the instructor notes that even those past the beginner stage may pick up something new.
Key takeaways
- What EQ does and why it's used so widely, both inside and outside audio production
- What compression is and why it's a commonly misunderstood tool
- A foundation to build on with the instructor's dedicated Basics of Compression course
The hour of instruction is followed by a quiz to check your understanding.
About this course
Eq and compressors play a very important role in controlling and shaping music, movies, and TV shows. So it shouldn't be a surprise its the most used tools in audio engineering. Eq is widely used even outside of the audio world. Anything you do adjust the bass or treble of a sound is using eq. Car stereos, ipod, smart phones music player, computers, all have eq controls. Even when you adjust the sound presets on your TV you are using eq. With the EQ spread use of EQ in our everyday life you can see why its so important to get EQ right when we are engineering. After completing this course you will see just how powerful EQ can be.
Compressors aren't widely used as EQ outside of audio engineering, but is still very important to learn. Using compression is the most understood tool used in audio. And because there are so many different compressors its no wonder they can be confusing.
This course will teach you the basics of EQ and compression. Two tools vital to becoming a good audio engineer. With over 15 years of experience in audio I will share with ways to understand what eq and compression does, as well as how its used. After this course stay tuned as I will more courses coming soon. Since Compression is always a hot topic in audio I have a few more courses on compression planned out. This course is for beginners, but even if your past a the beginning stages of engineering I encourage you to still subscribe to this course. You may learn something you didn't already know. This course will take one hour to complete and will be followed by a quiz. If you want to further your knowledge about compression check out Basics of Compression course. Any questions my contact info will be provided in the course.
