DO YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR CONTENT SOUND AMAZING?
In the age of social media, everyone has a voice. And if you want to make your content sound amazing, this course is for you. It is the only place where you will see real-life examples of different recording equipment and associated cost. Immediately you will see where you should invest your money.
I understand you have a burning passion for writing, teaching, creating. You want to make your ideas tangible, release it to the world. And yet sound recording, a crucial part of content creation, is seen as an obstacle, an unfortunate necessity.
Tell me, how many times after listening back to your recordings, you felt like it is an impossible task, and just wanted to hit delete?
Or not even that.
How many times you wanted to start a podcast, online course, a YouTube channel, but when it came to audio equipment and recording, you were lost?
----
WHY IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU?
Over and over I see people confused about recording setup and sound equipment. They don’t know where to start. This course solves that issue.
You will learn the basics of sound recording, audio equipment, and fundamental recording techniques. You will learn that recording is a fun and exciting process, not a necessary barrier to jump. And what is most important you will learn from real-life examples.
I worked with bands; I have done audio for games and movies, I produce a hugely popular podcast. The theory is fine; I enjoy reading and learning too. But there is no better way to learn than doing and testing. I understand that it is not always possible to test what works best for you. You just want to start.
And that is why I recorded and filmed many examples of different recording equipment. From basic and cheap options to expensive, semi-pro. It will give you a clear idea where you should invest your money, and where you should begin.
You will not find this anywhere else; it is the only sound recording course that offers you a real picture of your options.

THE COURSE STRUCTURE
Learn the basics – that is my mantra. You will start by learning about the most important piece of your equipment – the microphone.
In several lectures you will understand the differences between microphones on the market, you will learn the basic characteristics of a microphone. But what is more important, you will see what choice you have available to you right now.
You will progress onto other recording equipment, gear that is sometimes overlooked, nevertheless, important.
In the middle of the course, you will see and hear how each of the options sounds like and how easy it is to set it all up. You will start thinking which way you wish to go.
You will learn important recording techniques. Some basic ones and other less known tricks too.
You will also find information on the psychology of a recording, and theory behind some recording terms.
Each section will start with an introduction where you will see what lies ahead. After the main content, you will finish with section summary. You will also find a Call To Action, a short video with a small task that you can do. And a Quiz to test your knowledge after each section.
----
AND THAT IS NOT ALL!
I know that time is an asset. I composed this course because I wanted to give you ‘straight to the point’ information, no unnecessary talk.
So after your first viewing, you may find it all a bit overwhelming. Don’t worry!
I included closed captions and graphics throughout the course to make the learning easier. We are visual creatures; we learn most with our eyes. So I made the course as visually pleasing as possible.
----
AND YET IT IS STILL NOT ALL!
Sometimes you need to remember something in an instant. And you don’t have time to rewatch the lecture, or maybe you can’t remember where to find the information.
I took the main points of the course, stripped it down to basics, and I created an ebook just for you. You will find it in the Course Summary lecture. Use it anytime you want. Choosing your first sound recording equipment is hard, I know that. So the best way is to listen and test different ways.
My goal is to show you the possibilities, the options and the real cost of buying a recording gear. This knowledge will put in miles ahead of the competition; it will make your content stand out from the crowd.
In the age of social media, everyone has a voice. Unfortunately, there is a lot of noise out there. Take the first step, make the world sound a little better.
