Sound engineering is a vast field that covers all the aspects of music and sound. Sound engineers are basically responsible for manipulating, producing, and presenting sound, and their work is inarguably vital in the music industry. It is an intricate and technical profession that requires expertise and experience to combine both art and a gamut of physics involved in the process. What Is Sound Engineering? Sound engineering, also often termed audio engineering, refers to the art of reproducing, mixing, and reinforcing sound. Other than that, audio engineering is also involved in producing music, live performances, and films. Audio engineers usually work on the technical side of sound recording, which involves setting levels, placing the microphones, and making sure the respective audience receive good sound. They handle entire technical side involving performances and Audio Production. Nowadays, sound engineering is increasingly considered an artistic profession where art and science both are utilized to produce sounds for movies, music, radio, television, sporting events and video games. Sound engineering also covers soundcheck and live audio mixing processes with the help of an audio reinforcement system used during concerts, sports events, and theatres.

However, first, let’s address the typical question of “what is sound engineering?” What Is Sound…

Following their decade-year-old culture of organizing qualitative education initiatives, Soundideaz Academy invited Joel Hamilton, who is a Grammy & Latin Grammy Award nominee, to conduct a 1-day workshop on the topic- “Masterclass on Music Production and Mixing”. Hamilton is a Brooklyn based Record Producer, Sound Engineer & Writer, Musician & Co-owner of Studio G Brooklyn, New York. Besides successfully producing records by ‘The Black Keys’, ‘Highly Suspect’, ‘BRKN Love’, ‘Matisyahu’, and ‘Lettuce’, Joel has engineered & mixed albums of ‘Norah Jones’ and has worked with other eminent musicians. In the workshop that was held on 1st Feb 2020 at Yash Raj Studios, Andheri (West), Mumbai, many students, and professionals got the opportunity to learn topics pertaining to ‘Live Recording of Drums & Guitars’, ‘How to Build a Mix from Scratch’ & above all, ‘Seek the techniques of developing good music production skills’, from the Master himself.    The masterclass followed by an interactive Q & A was enthusiastically attended by more than 35 attendees. The students and professionals were happy to have received world-class knowledge and techniques right at their doorstep! Joel Hamilton too remarked- “Indeed it was a very good experience to share his knowledge with Indian students & professionals.…

VST’s De-constructed: Do you know what Music Synthesis is? Is it important to know all the knobs that are there in a soft-synth? Well, according to textbook definitions, A synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument, operated by a keyboard with knobs and control parameters a wide variety of generated sounds by combining signals of different frequencies created by processing them all together. The knowledge of how soft synths works is an important part of Music Production. Hence, Soundideaz Academy has also exclusively dedicated a portion of its syllabus of Diploma in Sound Engineering with Music Production Specialisation for understanding how synths work. The Korg MS10 Music Synthesizer A software synthesizer is an emulated version of a hardware synthesizer. A Software synthesizer processes signal with virtue of Digital Signal Processing (DSP). We are sure most of you didn’t understand that definition completely, and that is why we have explained it in this blog, in a clear and simple way. The software synthesizer
