Description

Signal flow is essential knowledge to understand ANYTHING about AUDIO. This Audio Concepts course by Joe Albano, designed for musicians, engineers and producers, teaches you everything about the "ins and outs" of audio and MIDI signal flow. Watch it now!

More details

Whether you're working with a console desk in a large studio or with a virtual mixer in your DAW, it's very important to have a solid understanding of audio routing and signal flow. This course, by audio engineer Joe Albano covers everything from hardware studio hookup to audio and MIDI signal flow in a DAW.

First, Joe covers the basics of studio connections. You learn about the 3 different input connections (mic, line and instrument), how to interpret signal flow diagrams, and how to understand patchbays and audio interfaces. Next, you dive into the concept of "in-the-box" signal flow, where you learn about the importance of audio processing order, how sends and returns work, and the different uses of pre- and post-fader sends. You also learn about MIDI signal flow, you discover how to integrate hardware processors and external MIDI devices into your digital workflow, and more...

Watch this course and learn everything about audio and MIDI signal flow, under the guidance of trainer and audio engineer Joe Albano!

And be sure to watch every course in our Audio Concepts series!

Joe Albano

Instructor's Courses

He started out studying music formally with some of the pioneers of electronic music —including time at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, one of the first electronic music studios in the country.

After college, Joe divided his time between performing in various bands (keys, bass, guitar) and recording, initially operating a multitrack remote recording service. He also began teaching—the first of two stints—at audio schools in NYC, covering subjects that ranged from acoustics & physics of sound, to analog & digital recording, mixing & mastering, to synthesis, sampling, & MIDI.

Joe took a break from teaching to become a co-owner/operator of Rooftop Productions, a recording & production studio in midtown Manhattan, where he was involved in all types of recordings from music & album production to v/o & post.

Eventually, he returned to freelance production, recording & mixing, and began writing for industry publications, including Recording magazine. He returned to teaching, for a second stint that lasted a number of years.

Currently, Joe is continuing his freelance work, and is now also writing for AskAudio magazine teaching at SAE NYC and creating training courses on a variety of subjects for macProVideo.com/Ask.Video.
