    A thoughtful friend sent me the link to enroll for the Stanford Online course Audio Signal Processing for Musicians. Since it requires a working knowledge of Python, which I am lacking, I had to pass on it.

    However, I have the bug in me to continue my education and advance my skills further; the BAM Audio School course looks like a good place to start, since it seems flexible toward what one wants to know about.

    Has anyone taken such a course, or more than one, that they would recommend? If so, what had it covered? Others out there might also be interested, which is half my reason for posting this.

    The Open University in the UK did a free music production course at the beginning of the year (Critical listening for studio production), in association with Queens University, Belfast, in which I took part. These free mini learning modules (6-8 week courses) are quite a good way of getting a grounding with some of the basics

    Rick Snoman of Dance Music Production said he was considering something online which I'd be really interested in because he always delivers quality content at a fair price but I don't think it's out yet. If only he'd do an Industrial video (Electro-Industrial would be lovely)...please :beg: A 3CD. [​IMG]

    The Stanford ASP course is more if you wanna do Audio programmingz or understand your tools, ntrly for production sorta stuff.

    Most of the standard stuff available nowdays serves us well, though if you want more specialist stuff or nicer workflows, writing your own tools may be a necessity, which is where the above comes in handy.

    Check out on coursera. https://www.coursera.org/courses?orderby=upcoming&cats=music

    Lucky you, Survey of Music Technology starting tomorrow. https://www.coursera.org/course/musictech
    I had that course before. You'll be using Reaper but you know it's almost the same in every daw after you'll get the methods. Totally 6 weeks long and at 4th week Python will be subject but instructor will tell you from the scratch. You don't need a background for programming.

    I have yet to enroll in a formal course but some of the best informational courses I have found and put to very good use are, Groove3, CreativeLive, Udemy, Lynda, Puremix, theres so many other ones with valuable information but you will find large groupings of audio production courses of all subjects and skill levels. Hope this helps!
