If you feel like your productions have gone a bit stale, lack a sense of depth, or just feel like they need spicing up a bit with some organic and unique sounds, then this course is for you!
Likewise, if you have recently purchased a field recorder from companies such as Tascam or Zoom and wish to learn more about how to use it then this course is also for you.
