You’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of audio production using many of the same tools the pros use. And when you’re done, you’ll have a solid foundation in the awesome science of sound.

Get in the kitchen and see if you’ve got what it takes. This workshop will introduce you to basic knife skills, ingredient selection, and regional cooking styles.
