Computer Requirement
This is a hands-on class where you'll "learn by doing" - therefore you'll need a computer (Mac or PC). If you need any particular software installed, that will be detailed below. Not all programs require special software so if there isn't any detailed listed below you will only need a computer with an up-to-date web browser.
Your laptop will be used for hands-on audio editing and sweetening throughout the class.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
The instructor will be demonstrating with Garage Band software, but what you'll learn can be applied to any audio recording and editing applications.
