About the Course

If a tree falls in a forest and no-one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?


Well, yes. Actually.


It's essential to know the nature of the thing you're trying to record – sound! This accessible and practical course covers the basics of sound theory without getting too heavy with the physics!

  • What is sound? Frequency, wavelength, amplitude and hearing range,

  • How instruments work,

  • Harmonic series,

  • Temperament,

  • dB scales – don’t get them confused!

  • Room acoustics.


So why DOES the tree make a sound? Because, for our purposes, “sound” is longitudinal waves of fluctuating air pressure. Obvs!
