The British Academy of Training and Development presents this course in (Sound Engineering) for all individuals interested in learning more skills about Sound Engineering Techniques and Recording of Acoustics, Filters and Sound Software used in the latest International Studios.

Sound is a success element of Television and Radio works of all kinds (TV Series, Songs, Shows, etc.). Therefore sound supplies life to Media works, the art of sound engineering has been developed over the past decades at an accelerated pace that made sound an essential factor in creation of all Media Content, in addition to the use of Sound Engineering to enhance and modify sound quality and hide any defects therein. Sound Engineering is widely and significantly used in Television products, through addition of sound effects and music for shows and TV programs.
