These concepts provide a stable base for the students to understand audio in various domains and how they relate to each other. It would provide a better understanding of the potential of a particular piece of equipment and aid in better decision making when choosing the right tools for a specific job.

Throughout the module we go over various parameters that are provided in professional equipment data sheets because the data tells us the limits of our equipment. As a result we can prevent overloading, prevent damage or maintain our equipment with efficiency. Audio equipments are relatively expensive products hence handling them properly will ensure durability and proper functioning.

Another focus of the module is to understand how audio levels are calculated, converted and measured so that we can have a concrete quantitative idea of the amplitude of audio being transmitted both in terms of signal and actual output. Metering is another important topic that is covered since most software and pro equipment will have metering systems to monitor the audio. These systems vary according to the nature of our source.

Understanding metering and how audio levels work is a fundamental step towards proper mixing and mastering, because all streaming or distribution mediums employ specific loudness standards. We will also cover the irregularities that are inherently present in our ears in terms of how we perceive audio levels so that we can prevent any sort of overcompensation in our mixes as a result of faulty listening practices.

Live Analogue & Digital MixersLive Analogue & Digital Mixers

Vision - A mixer is the signal routing hub of a studio or live-show. Whether within a software or in physical hardware form, a mixer is inescapable as it provides us with a multitude of ways we can setup our equipment to send, receive or record audio.

Mixers are often manufacturer specific but there are some overarching similarities in all of them. In this course we focus on the various categories of mixers used for commercial, professional and on-stage purposes.

The academy has different types of mixers that are taught to the students with full in depth knowledge of the physical working parts on the mixer and how the internal circuitry functions, so that they can operate one properly in a live or studio setting.

We also teach students how to read block diagrams and signal flow diagrams to diagnose problems within the signal chain and to understand how the mixer can send and receive sound from other equipment effectively.

We also look at the various connection types supported by these mixers. We deal with mainly real life applications of these mixers on a stage or studio, simulating relevant scenarios that a professional audio engineer is likely to face in their field of work.

The students are taught how to deal with analog and digital signals depending on the type of mixer they are dealing with and how they can accomplish various goals using these mixers.

Studio Acoustics & Sound ProofingStudio Acoustics & Sound Proofing

Vision - Acoustics is the most important knowledge for constructing a studio space be it for personal or professional reasons.

Having an isolated space for music ensures total control over the listening environment and also gives one the freedom to experiment and monitor sounds at will, without the fear of noise complaints or even disturbance from surrounding areas. It also gives us the knowledge of how to treat a room so that it can have a transparent frequency response which would mean that the person in the room is listening to the audio in an ideal condition, which would again lead to better mixes and prevent overcompensation.

The module covers the various properties of sound that governs its transmission in any physical space. This would stop us from introducing any kind of acoustic distortion, perhaps in the form of improper utilisation of studio space, into our acoustic signals.

We also focus on soundproofing, which refers to the isolation of an area from its surrounding region such that the sound within the room is contained inside, while the sound outside the room is obstructed from bleeding into the main room. This would provide us with the required ambient noise levels for high quality sound recording and also a quiet space for monitoring and mixing our sound without interference.

We will cover the conventional methods used for soundproofing a studio including decoupling mechanisms, damping, leafing, etc. All the aspects of a room are looked at individually as a result we can compare what practices will yield the best results for one specific type of studio.

Soundproofing is sub-divided into the topics: Walls, Floors, Ceilings, Windows and Doors. All of these components come together to create a soundproofed room, hence we look into specific construction methods and material requirements for each aspect.

Another focal point of the module is Acoustic Treatment which refers to the sonic character of any physical space and how to get it under control. We look at various practices used for flattening the frequency response of the room, including the materials required for this purpose, their dimensions and placement. Acoustic treatment also includes speaker placement and calibration.

    Applications:
  • In choosing proper equipment for specific work
  • Combining signals and levels
  • Metering over various domains
  • Creating a stable listening environment
  • Selecting the right accessories for our equipment
  • Understanding loudness problems and addressing them

The learning curve here is exponential. And all the credit goes to the teachers at the academy who take each student into consideration and give their best to teach us. The course structure is also, designed in a way that'll cover almost everything regarding sound.

Best place in delhi to explore sound & its all aspects. Starting from recording, mixing, mastering to acoustic treatment & wiring you will learn everything here. Trainers are also very friendly.

I joined Crypto Cipher Academy in August 2018 for Sound Engineering Course. My experience with the Acadamy is an exceptional one, the faculty here is very helping and does a genuine effort to explain each and every concept in detail and encourage us to ask questions until the concept is cleared.

They encourage us to be creative and experimental, they teach us to know and understand sound visually and audibly. This opens so many possibilities for using sound of ertistically and expressively.

In my opinion, this Acadamy is the best place for learning sound, and i would highly recommend Crypto Cipher if you are interested and want to start a career in the industry.
