02 Improve your Sound Literacy!
The theme of this lesson is “Improving Sound Literacy.” Join us to deepen your understanding of sound!
First, let’s prepare the instrumental track and vocal track of the song you want to work on for the lesson! Please note that we only support DAW files from Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and FL Studio.
【Required Data】
- WAV / Instrument track
- WAV / Vocal track
Additionally, we recommend taking the “Music Theory Course” to better understand the key of the song during vocal pitch editing (pitch correction).
