This course is an all inclusive, take-at-your-pace, lifetime accessible resource for you to learn anything and everything audio. I’ll teach you: recording, microphones, placement of microphones (including hiding lav microphones), cleaning up dirty audio like AC hum and scratchy clothes, mixing audio, mastering audio, getting your videos to the proper loudness, and of course any other questions you may have.

I’m here to help you as your mentor and guide. My goal is for you as a filmmaker is to take your productions to the next level.

BRENDEN BYTHEWAY

I’ve been working as a sound engineer and music producer for more than ten years. In that time, I’ve made lots of filmmaker friends, many of which operate as a one-person production. They handle everything themselves, including sound. Even if they are working with a small crew, there often aren’t enough resources to hire a dedicated sound person. If you find yourself in a similar situation, The Filmmaker’s Guide to Audio is for you. I’m passionate about sound and I want to help you improve.
