About this recoded webinar
This recorded webinar shares lessons from the fundamental practices of other artforms, provide prompts for playful sonic experimentation, and suggest ways to integrate intuition and discipline when building audio projects.
While specifically aimed at the processes of sound-design and post-production, many of these strategies can be applied to the earlier stages of conceptual development and story structure within audio projects.

This webinar is open to all experience levels and requires no specific technical expertise other than a working knowledge of any DAW. Instructional examples may be shown in REAPER, but the techniques and principles can be applied to any workflow.
