    More Than A Textbook

    A textbook-based approach can build strong foundations, but in a practical subject like Sound Engineering, students learn by doing and learn best when guided by an expert supervisor.  Essential Sound Engineering offers hands-on learning opportunities, including a full step-by-step simulated recording project, supported by extensive on-screen guidance and background theory.

    Sounds Active Essential Sound Engineering runs on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X based computers (detailed system requirements).
