Before you start.
Who is this for?
Beginners who want to finish a small audio project. A recorder or phone and a computer audio editor are enough to begin; synthetic audio is supplied for practicing the editing stages.
Do I need special software?
Use an audio editor that supports tracks, fades and export. REAPER is referenced, but no editor license is included. The worksheets can be printed.
Is the course included?
The four self-guided exercises on the course page are free. The PDF edition is separate; instructor feedback and live classes are not included.
Can I see it first?
Yes. The sample includes the cover, introduction, one lesson and a worksheet.
What results are promised?
The guide provides a creative workflow. It does not promise a professional release, commercial acceptance or income.
