The Sound Kitchen is a sound engineering course aimed at anyone who is passionate about sound and wants to learn the how-to’s of great sound. The course uses lots of music and it is both inspirational and technical; but make no mistake, you will have more than your money’s worth of technical insight and input.
The instruction is music based. Therefore there are always audio examples (there is also a lesson that will help you develop your hearing skills with audio clips you can download). We use a Digital Audio Workstation so that you can immediately put into practice the concepts expressed in some of the lessons, ending up making music (better) rather than just hearing someone talk about it. Furthermore, if you wanted to, you will be able to use the DAW (within the licensed time period) to exercise some sound engineering routines by yourself independently from the course.
The course is very practical and the terminology is not overly technical (again do not assume that this is a shortfall, as often seasoned engineers have learned a great deal from the course approach and teachings).
At the end of the course, you will be able to plan a sound production, choose well-suited equipment, set up a PA, and with practice, mix a production/song (live or in your home studio).
“Ears before gear“: is a sentence I coined to embody the idea that the most important piece of equipment to achieve great sound is the engineer. Ultimately great gear will sound poorly if the engineer cannot use it well. The opposite is also true that average gear in the right hands will sound great. This mindset is thematic across the entire course.

The course opened up the world of sound engineering in a concise way.
Vishal Chaudhry –
Get clarity on fundamentals of dealing with audio (software and hardware). I have completed 50% of the course and I am very happy to have found this course. The teacher is very experienced and knowledgeable on the subject matter. This course covers a wide variety of topics related to working with audio and should be taken by anyone who has to deal with audio in their workflow for example: voice professionals, YouTubers, podcasters, streamers, audio engineers, etc. This is the most exciting course on Udemy I have taken till today. Enjoying every bit of it. My heartfelt gratitude towards the instructor Mr. Timoteo Alicino for sharing his knowledge on the subject in this high quality course.

Tim shows a passion for what he does, and I think this resonates well with all who have a similar passion.
Oli Thom –
This course is excellent! I like the very thorough preparation in the beginning lessons to sensitize the student to the world of sound. when you begin learning to listen to sound, you realise that listening is the very essence of sound. the lessons are interesting.

I am a high school choir and band teacher. I know very little about technology. This was amazing and did exactly what I needed it to do. It brought me up to date on the language, the functions, and the basic understanding of sound production. I loved it!
Michael Breuker –
Das ist wirklich ein außerordentlich guter Kurs.
Camden Vale-Smith –
I’m now able to perceive music in a way I feel like I should’ve been able to when I started creating music. I really feel like so far I’m catching up on all the blank spots I’ve overlooked up until this point. I’ve always felt like as much as I enjoy producing, I’m just missing a certain knowhow to really get my music to compete with others from a professional quality perspective and so far I’m feeling confident that this course will help me get to where I’ve always wanted to be. It’s inspiring me to practice mixing & mastering my own music independently just to see where I can get with it based off the information I’ve gathered so far, which really feels amazing to honestly say.

This is an exceptional and excellent well explained course. I really enjoyed my journey through this course and I encourage people who want to get into this line, this is the best course. Thanks a lot Tim☺️☺️
Carolina Aguirre González –
I haven’t finished the course yet, but so far it has been incredibly helpful, I consider myself a person who has a good knowledge about music in general since I am a music composer, producer and I play several instruments, but the lessons of this course have been eye opening to many things about sound, he couldn’t explain it better, I think this is my favorite course I have ever taken music related. I can’t wait for my future lessons. Great job.

i appreciate the passion and knowledge that the instructor has not only of the hard skills but of the mindset that you need to attain in order to excel in this area. Good communicator.

This course is only about the concepts, not about practice. And it is very-very-very slow for me.
