SOUND DESIGN

Sound Design is the heart of the Praxis section of the SLDP curriculum. Understanding how to create your own unique sounds will ultimately determine your overall sound as a producer, and is essential to differentiating yourself from other artists. Sound Design begins with an understanding of wave shape, how it determines timbre, harmonics, continues through the main types of software synthesis and ends with layering and advanced techniques. To some degree, Sound Degree should always include a period of experimentation but having an understanding will help you create interesting sounds more efficiently.
