Your Intro to Audio Production
Learning audio editing and recording is a lifetime art, but you don't have time to waste. With this basics course, you can be in charge of your audio content and quality from day one. Reaper is a fully professional software, but so intuitive and easy that my students enjoy working with it from the first minute. I have removed the technical side of audio production to make the basics as easy as possible.
This is an introductory course for musicians, actors, teachers, and anyone who needs to record his own audio. Aimed at non-technical users, you will learn the basics of Reaper, an all-purpose audio editor that you can use for free with no time limit.
Content and Overview
In just ten lessons you will download, configure and use Reaper to make and edit your own recordings, improve the audio quality using effects, etc. Audio materials and links will be available for practice and to extend your learning.
The course is divided into four sections, following the natural order of your learning. In the first section, you will learn how to download and install Reaper on your computer, depending on if you are in Windows or Mac. You will perform a sound check and learn how to solve the possible problems that could arise during configuration. I will be available in the comments section and also during office hours to respond to your doubts. The first section ends with an overview of Reaper's User Interface, so you can get familiar with it.
The second section is about Audio Editing. You will learn how to import audio, cut, copy, paste, etc, mass-edit operations, and shortcuts. Also how to organize your projects and the best formats to render your audio sessions.
Then during the third section, you will set up your computer and other hardware ready to record audio into Reaper. Depending on your system, some techniques are described to improve the audio quality and performance of the computer.
In the fourth section, you will learn what Audio Effects are, the most common plugin formats and how to use them in the recordings you just made. You will learn to remove background noise or change its tonal color through EQ, and also to add some Reverb to improve the acoustics.
Who this course is for:
This course is meant for anyone that needs to edit and record audio at home. It is designed for beginners with no experience in audio production. It is also a good introduction to Reaper DAW. If you are already an advanced audio producer, this course may be too basic for you.
