“With this workshop, we will be looking at fundamental concepts and the tools we can use to master audio. Equalisation, dynamic control, stereo image, analogical-digital conversion, cleaning up sounds.
We will address sound by starting at a general theoretical standpoint and moving on to more practical use, with examples and listening.
We will also discuss metre instruments and sound analysis: Vu Meter, spectrum analyser, phase analysis.”
