Truefire FaderPro Jono Buchanan's Science of Sound: Volume Management TUTORiAL

Everything Music Producers Need To Know About Volume
Volume is a crucial concept when it comes to music production, and so understanding it fully is an effective way to improve your workflow and ultimately, your productions. In this course, you'll learn signal flow, gain staging, automation and more, as Jono Buchanan works through some of the concepts surrounding volume and loudness.

Having studied music at the University of York until 1997, Jono has spent the past 25 years honing his craft while remaining firmly within the world of education. As well as his role teaching electronic music production at Guildhall School, Jono is a master composer and song-writer, with professional credits that include music royalty like Whitney Houston, Pet Shop Boys and many more. In short, he knows what makes a track tick!

Jono has managed to cram copious quantities of information into just over two hours of clear and concise instruction, designed to give you an all-important understanding of volume management. The course will prepare you for combatting all manner of volume-related scenarios in your music production process. Follow along, as he tackles volume fluctuations in vocal recordings, brings movement and excitement to his mix, controls his signal flow and prepares his tracks to be sent out to labels and DJs.

In this course, Jono works within his chosen DAW, Logic Pro X, a piece of software he has spent years working with in order to understand its every feature and function. The key concepts surrounding volume management that are covered in this course can be applied to any DAW, though, and even some mixing and live recording scenarios. Jono also employs some choice plugins to effectively demonstrate his process, including Soundtoys' Filter Freak, Fabfilter's Pro-C2 and of course Logic's own plugins.

This course is part of the Science of Sound series, which goes deeper into important music production topics that you'll use again and again in your own projects. Understanding the fundamentals behind concepts like delay, reverb, equalization, compression, and the way in which we as engineers and listeners perceive sound will allow you to approach your productions with a greater confidence, purpose and know-how.

No PhD needed, the science-y parts are explained by our awesome educators in a way that anyone can understand!
