Teaching Sound

I have taught sound design and audio implementation for years, from the synth to the game engine.

Warp Academy

Sound Design Secrets in Serum

Course · co-presented with Vespers

Vespers and I are the two sound designers behind Darkside Funk, and in this Warp Academy course we share the FX-chain and modulation techniques we developed building it, on the synth most modern producers are trying to master.

Free Serum crash course & tutorials

Open access

Before the full course there was a free multi-hour Serum crash course and a run of tutorials, the on-ramp for anyone starting out in sound design.

Game audio implementation

For indie teams

For game teams I write the other kind of teaching document: asset spreadsheets and step-by-step implementation instructions, usually in Wwise terms, so a small team can get pro audio behavior into their build without a dedicated audio programmer.
