Sound Engineering: Use of Cables, D.I. Box and Microphones

The Sound Kitchen offers a comprehensive audio engineering program designed for individuals passionate about sound and eager to master the art of achieving exceptional audio. The course incorporates a significant amount of music and provides a blend of inspiration and technical expertise. Rest assured, you will gain invaluable technical insights and knowledge well beyond the course's cost.

Emphasis on Music-Based Instruction

The course heavily relies on music, ensuring that audio examples are consistently utilized. Additionally, a lesson is dedicated to enhancing your auditory skills with downloadable audio clips. Leveraging a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) enables immediate application of the concepts covered in the lessons, allowing participants to create music rather than solely absorbing theoretical knowledge. Furthermore, participants have the option to independently practice sound engineering exercises using the DAW software within the licensed time frame.

Practical Approach and Accessible Terminology

This course adopts a highly practical approach, presenting terminology in a manner that is easily understandable. It is important to note that the accessible terminology does not signify a lack of depth; seasoned engineers have often benefited significantly from the course's approach and teachings.

Course Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, participants will be equipped to strategize sound production, select appropriate equipment, set up a PA system, and eventually, with practice, proficiently mix a production or song, whether in a live setting or within a home studio environment.

"Ears Before Gear" Philosophy

The course embodies the philosophy of "Ears Before Gear," emphasizing the notion that the most crucial element in achieving exceptional sound is the skill of the engineer. Superior equipment will yield subpar results if not utilized proficiently, while adept hands can make even average gear produce outstanding sound. This mindset permeates the entire course, shaping its core principles.

4. Some basic understanding of math

1. I am a high school choir and band teacher. I know very little about technology. This was amazing and did exactly what I needed it to do. It brought me up to date on the language, the functions, and the basic understanding of sound production. I loved it! ~ E Baker
2. Tim shows a passion for what he does, and I think this resonates well with all who have a similar passion ~ E Van Zyl
3. Get clarity on fundamentals of dealing with audio (software and hardware). I have completed 50% of the course and I am very happy to have found this course. The teacher is very experienced and knowledgeable on the subject matter. This course covers a wide variety of topics related to working with audio and should be taken by anyone who has to deal with audio in their workflow for example: voice professionals, YouTubers, podcasters, streamers, audio engineers, etc. This is the most exciting course I have taken till today. Enjoying every bit of it. My heartfelt gratitude towards the instructor Mr. Timoteo Alicino for sharing his knowledge on the subject in this high quality course ~ V Chaudhry
4. The course opened up the world of sound engineering in a concise way ~ R Daystar
5. This course has really boost my knowledge of sound and how to make the best mix ~ K Piater
6. I have known the technical aspects of these first lessons for many years. It's enlightening to begin to understand the musical (perception) aspects. I look forward to the next lessons! ~ R Kolbe
7. This course is excellent! I like the very thorough preparation in the beginning lessons to sensitize the student to the world of sound. when you begin learning to listen to sound, you realise that listening is the very essence of sound. the lessons are interesting ~ O Thom
8. A great course with many interesting insights on the sound engineering for beginners. Favorite section for me as beginner electronic music producer was Section 3 about characteristics of a sound, which makes a solid understanding of what is sound and how it works, which I think is crucial for everyone, who deal with music. Also enjoyed a lot sections on microphones and loudspeakers ~ Iuliia S
9. I had little to no prior knowledge in regards to music production when I first started to take this course. Now I feel more confident in my desire to create my own music. I have a very technical oriented mind so I feel like approaching sound from the perspective of an engineer is the best way to begin learning. Thank you ~ J Gomez
10. Sir Timoteo Alicino is one of the best audio instructor I have know of his video online are very understanding and his really a good person to me thanks for the knowledge Sir ~ Akhimie E
11. I have learned SO MUCH from Tim through this course! There are so many great concepts and great details about wires, speakers, acoustics and sound that are covered in this course that I have not been able to find easily in other sources. This course has been so incredibly valuable to go through! I highly recommend it! ~ D Williams
12. The teacher has very deep knowledge and experience. not just technically but he is well seasoned in every aspect ~ M Vishwaroop
13. The Tutor is got the technical know-how of what he is teaching. I am so happy i paid for this course. He can use any object around, at random, to explain what ever topic he is treating at the moment. This tutorial is value for money!!! ~ Olanrewaju A
