What my students are saying:

"My brother has taken audio engineering courses and is an AV Tech at a college. He says this is a great course. I tell him a lot of the things I am learning and he jokingly says that in a few years I could take his job. Ha! This course is very well produced, and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. I feel like I have learned so much in only a few classes. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking into audio recording and production."

Coming from someone with very limited knowledge in the home recording space, this course gave me a thorough introduction to making music at home. The course is very well done and engaging to learn from in how it was filmed and produced. For me as an almost complete beginner it touched all the important aspects for me to feel comfortable finally making music.
