About Course

Advanced Subtractive Synthesis is a comprehensive course designed for music producers and sound designers aiming to deepen their understanding of subtractive synthesis. Led by instructor Eric Diamond, this course delves into the intricacies of subtractive synthesizers, providing students with the skills to craft complex and expressive sounds.

Throughout the course, students will explore the components and signal flow of subtractive synthesizers, learning how to manipulate oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources to shape sound. The curriculum emphasizes practical application, guiding learners through the creation of various patches inspired by famous recordings.

Further modules focus on intentional sound design, teaching strategies for developing unique sounds tailored to specific musical contexts. By engaging with in-depth lessons and hands-on exercises, participants will enhance their ability to produce dynamic and original sonic textures.
