Our Verdict
Ultimately, Mastering Sound Design is a solid introductory course that covers various synthesis techniques, providing learners with practical exercises to design their own sounds. However, it falls short of its promise to 'master' sound design, as fundamental concepts are not explored in-depth and some important topics are left out entirely. As such, this course may be better suited for beginners looking to gain a foundational understanding of different synthesis techniques.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of various synthesis techniques including FM, additive, wavetable, and physical modeling
- Includes practical exercises for learners to design their own sounds
- Engaging teaching style that makes complex topics more accessible
- Provides a solid foundation in sound design concepts for beginners
Potential Drawbacks
- Lacks in-depth explanations of some fundamental concepts like harmonics and partials
- Limited mention of alternative synthesizers and VSTi's for different forms of synthesis
- Does not cover a wide variety of topics such as pulse width modulation, amplitude modulation, and advanced filter types
- Course audio quality can be inconsistent in some sections
