PlusFue de gran utilidad este curso, aunque ya tenia tiempo grabando en mi home studio, aprender sobre la física de las ondas sonoras y como mejorar una grabación, fue de gran ayuda.
Habría preferido que la ultima lección hablara un poco más sobre procesos de la voz en la música, por ejemplo: efectos (reverb, delay, etc), pitch correction, EQ, entre otros. 4.5/5

PlusTom, thank you for sharing your course to the world—I’m truly grateful I discovered it. I hope you'd consider creating a course specifically on music mixing, particularly vocal recording and vocal mixing. Based on your teaching style, I’m confident I could gain immense value from such a course, as it aligns more closely with my future plans.
Thanks!
