Embark on a project-centered journey with the "Creating Sounds for Electronic Music" course by Berklee. This comprehensive course is designed for aspiring producers, composers, and hobbyists who want to enhance their music production skills and confidence in using software synthesizers. Throughout the course, you will collaborate with classmates to build a vast database of custom sounds, or patches, to incorporate into your musical compositions.
With a focus on practical application, you will work with a free version of FXpansion Strobe 2 to create and utilize custom synthesizer patches, elevating your electronic music creations. It is recommended that learners have a basic understanding of music production and access to a digital audio workstation that supports VST, AAX, or AU plugins, as well as a MIDI keyboard or controller.
As you progress through the course, you will explore the unique aspects of electronic music, develop your own mock-up, and create multiple drafts, refining your synthesizer sounds to enhance the quality of your music. The course adopts a project-centered approach, providing guidance and suggestions from instructors and fellow learners to help you effectively apply new concepts and skills.
