One of the most notable shortcomings of the various audio courses on the market is the lack of training focused on the specific area of ​​5.1 multichannel mixing.

At first glance, it may seem like stereo multiplied by 3, meaning that if you master stereo mixing, you’ll master 5.1 mixing. Our experience tells us this isn’t true.

Initially, there are issues related to the speaker distribution in the listening room, the phase-related aspects that are especially noticeable in the high frequencies, or the special characteristics of one of the speakers, known as LFE or .1.

Because of this, we are faced with a much more complicated scenario and therefore require knowledge applied to this audio reproduction method, which is widely used in the world of cinema and is beginning to be applied more to the world of audio linked to TV and music.

With the arrival of DTT, it’s only a matter of time before channels begin to broadcast multichannel audio.

In fact, this has already been implemented with audio broadcasting in several languages. The arrival of high-definition channels goes hand in hand with 5.1 audio and, of course, the broadcast of prime-time movies in Dolby E. Even those that are not exclusively high-definition channels are planning to broadcast their content in 5.1 in the not-too-distant future, at least for prime-time content.

Given this scenario, it is very clear that a course that condenses all the information needed to take the first steps in a new field, with its own clearly defined areas of knowledge, is necessary and will contribute to providing more solid training for today’s operators and technicians.

This course is aimed at professionals in the field who want to delve deeper into this complex world, technicians with completed formal training, and, in general, people who have a knowledge base that allows them to understand the most complex aspects of this fascinating world.

The course content comes from our own experience and from an extensive bibliography that we have compiled over the years.

The course will be taught in our own facilities and will utilize the same equipment used in the studio to carry out our work in this area. Our tools are state-of-the-art, allowing students to truly experience firsthand how things are really done.

At the end of the course, students will have proven knowledge in the field, learn applied techniques, and understand how to seamlessly export their work to other platforms regardless of the language or destination country. Students will learn the true standards used in the professional field.

Our areas of work cover all branches of professional sound: music, film, television, and live performance. We also have experience recording live sound for audiovisuals, even managing to record 5.1 audio.
