Each topic is treated from the theoretical explanatory point of view and then applied in practical exercises .
In particular, the following topics are treated and deepened:

• studio overview - study and in-depth analysis of the main aspects and equipment of the production studio, from Home-Studio to Pro-Studio;
• studio monitors - characteristics and criteria for selecting appropriate listening, frequency response, efficiency, sizing, Active Monitors vs Passive Monitors, amplification;
• studio wiring , learning and following the path of analog and digital signals, connections, cables, connectors;
• audio interfaces - characteristics of sound cards, AD / DA conversion, connections (in / out, midi, clock and others), sample rate, bit-depth;
• digital audio formats and conversion between formats;
• mixer and control surfaces –  inputs, outputs, aux sends, inserts, gain, faders, pan;

• signal processors – EQ, reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser;
• audio restoration – de-noiser, de-clicker, de-crackle;
• audio analysis – spectrum analyzer, phase correlator, stereo imager, loudness meter;
• sequencer - using the DAW as a multi-track recorder, advanced editing functions, cut / fade / x-fade, take management;
• mixing - all stages of mixing and applying plugins in insert and send ;
• VST Instruments (or Audio Unit), sampler, synth, drum machine;
• mastering - post production and obtaining the finished product optimized according to the intended use (print, broadcast, streaming services such as iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, etc.).
