PROGRAM

Our curriculum guides you through the creative journey of discovering your own sound and developing it into unique body of work. You will learn valuable techniques as you compose a portfolio of original tracks. We begin with the basics of production and studio etiquette and immediately follow it up with DAWs (Ableton & Protools). We then delve into the depths of MIDI sequencing & editing. While learning to use it, you will acquire production skills that can be applied to a wide variety of applications from song writing, to studio production, to laptop dj’ing. You will learn to compile Ableton sets from audio and MIDI clips, loops, or samples. Our final module on Music & Audio production for advertising & media, and an overview on the entertainment business will qualify you as a producer ready to take on the world.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Audio Academy, is the best institute for anyone aspiring to make a career as live sound engineer , studio engineer or as a music producer. The institute focuses on giving practical experience which makes the institute unique."

    Abhai Narain – Alumni and Sound Engineer

  • The primary advantage of an institute like Audio Academy is that they have the best of teachers, gear and facilities all under one roof. Given my architectural background and deep passion for music and sound, Audio Academy has enabled me to delve into Electro-acoustics and Design and Alignment of Sound Systems, which would serve me good stead in my future career path. Being in this environment helps and guides students set themselves goals, think forward, get an insight into the cutting-edge of what they're trying to do and gears them to be confident, bold and step out into the profession with their skills and ideas.

    Sharan Moses – Audio Academy Alumni

  • I’ve been an active part of the live sound industry for over a decade. Being the fastest growing segment there’s been no sound engineering programme in the country, that took live sound seriously before Audio Academy. Audio Academy’s programme is unmatched with practical hands on training and having students industry ready. Students are exposed to all aspects of live sound from loading and unloading trucks to prep to mixing to understanding how to work with clients. The institute is truly a class apart. I’ve enjoyed working with and employing students from Audio Academy.

    Jaigopal Sankaran – Musician, Sound Engineer & Sound Vendor

  • For over a year now, Audio Academy has lent invaluable skills, time and tools to make Sofar Bangalore sessions sound the best they can. The institution has helped us record some of our best videos since 2016 and their sound engineers in the making have put in relentless work to ensure that we have top notch live audio for all our production gigs. Shoutout to Audio Academy and your students for being a source of constant support, strength and inspiration!

    Prathana Sen – Sofar Sounds Bangalore

  • It was many years since I sat at the other end of the classroom. But what made me do this was, I wanted to know the fundamentals of live sound. As an audio guy, I never stopped learning. It wasnt just learning that is interesting. It is the relevance of this and the way it applies to one's work that is important. I have not met a person other than Niranjan who can do this so beautifully. I never knew that changing the levels on the LFE track affects the frequency it reproduces. How multiband compression affects the phase and how to correct that. How to use filters and then compensate for phase. How NOT to use EQ!! And all of this wasnt just talked about. It was shown. This is what makes his teaching method so unique and simple. We all say that basics have to be strong. This course cements it in the most interesting and fun way. Oh and I learnt that there are no silly questions at all!! Thanks a lot Audio Academy. If you are a pro or an aspiring engineer or a student, you have to do this once. Its not fixing the mixing. Its what you can fix that you learn. Watch out for some interesting mix notes later with ideas I got here.

    Sreejesh Nair – Product Specialist, Avid & National Award winning Mix Engineer.

  • We have always been international in our approach. Around half of our engineers and technicians are non–British and we have audio friends, and therefore resources, living all over the world who have trained at Britannia Row. The world continues to get smaller and India continues to grow within that world. We’re very happy with the internship programme with AudioAcademy and the quality of their students.
