In this course students learn the basic concepts of acoustics and electronics and how they can applied to understand musical sound and make music with electronic instruments. Topics include: sound waves, musical sound, basic electronics, and applications of these basic principles in amplifiers and speaker design.
this course was way more into electronics and electric guitar, rather than general audio such as cabinet design, and about transducers and more. but overall a lot to learn, very good course.
Good course. I enjoyed watching the lectures, especially from Bocco. The quizzes were also very representative of the course materials. Thanks for a good learning experience.
thank you for everything just there are many theory things, we need more practice about sound frequency of instruments, bass, treble, medium, ...)
very well written, in-depth illustration, actual project at the end, and enthuasismic instructors. they were very passionate. thank you
great course for guitar player and audio engineer that serious in sound and effects both in real world and in theory.
Absolutely Excellent Course, Fantastic teaching; I found the circuit analysis for the last two weeks really challenging (in a good way). Very glad I stuck with it and finished it.
Curso muito Bom! Completo com diversos assuntos interessantes para quem é músico e se interessa pela parte técnica. Uma boa revisão para os engenheiros eletrônicos!
Great course although not quite what I expected. Particularly enjoyed the electronics components. Don't believe anyone who says you don't need decent maths!
Very good course, some of the math is a bit advanced, but the explanations are excellent. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I am eagerly waiting for the part 2!!
Really felt great to know many technical things about sound , mostly requuired to make and reproduce good quality music
As a non-engineer, this is a tough course but interesting nonetheless. Been an interesting journey. Nice lectures by the professors and great support was given as well.
I thought that this class was great because it teaches many cool aspects that you can learn more about math with.

Need a good foundation with knowledge of calculus(integrals), electrical engineering and wave and acoustics. Not just a course to pick up for fun.
This is an example of the course and teachers, why students drop out. They really don't know how to teach well! At the beginning it was promised no calculus stuff required to learn this. But the lessons became so borring right away because all they show is complex math instead of showing how to create a speaker and how components work and why. The teachers conveyed nothing with math. Nobody even understand what they're talking about.
The lectures are unpolished and hard to follow, especially as the captions are inaccurate. The mathematics in the course are not explained clearly.
It's not perfect, (I'm not really sure how you could sexy up some of the math that you must know for the theory portion of the course) but it is an excellent, and free, course for people who are interested in, or need a refresher in analogue electronics.
If you've any doubt about your math and physics background, I'd STRONGLY recommend going through the Electrical Engineering pages on Khan Academy, and knowing those formulas cold before starting in on this course.
This is an orphan course. It seems to have been abandoned 10 years ago (2013). The forums are run (very well) by two volunteers not affiliated with the university. There are known errors in the lectures and the end of lecture questions. There are no explanations or answers to these questions. You can find the course materials, but you have to dig through the forums to find the links. Hopefully the links remain active. It's been ten years.
The lectures are interesting, but be prepared to do a lot of googling and outside research to complete the questions/exams.
Lectures have very poor teaching skills.
Good course. I enjoyed watching the lectures, especially from Bocco. The quizzes were also very representative of the course materials. Thanks for a good learning experience.
Stay out of this course if you don't have a background in electronic circuits calculations. They warn you about the level difference between the video excercises and the ones in the assignments, but that warning was an understatement because sometimes there's not even a proper example available, and just some formulas teased in the videos, I even had to look for external videos and equations to approve the course
It wasn't very clear the amount of knowledge you'd have to have mathematically before taking this course. It seems like it would be helpful and laid out clearly for those with prior knowledge looking to advance their learning. This is not a course for the basics.
Would say it is a bit more than Fundamentals, but a very good course if you already knew some of the maths
Estoy estudiando Ingeniería de Sonido en la Universidad de Tres de Febrero (Argentina). El curso abarca muchos de los contenidos que se ven en la carrera (claro está que no con la misma profundidad) explicados muy distinto. Me resultó altamente complementario a mi carrera. Considero que la forma de explicar de ambos docentes es muy buena. Muy conforme con el curso!
The course is great for beginners or even people with a good engineering background to learn more about electroacoustics. The idea of getting the required knowledge to built an amplifier at the end of the course is rewarding and interesting. I can recommend the course but watch the videos on 1.25 speed :D
Very practical course that combines mathematical and engineering theory with hands-on, real-world examples, hardware, and software. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in how mechanical and electrical systems apply to music engineering.
This is a very good course for anyone who wants to learn about building speakers and amplifiers. it gives a very good foundation for many thing related to amplifier and loudspeaker building
I loved this course. It tied together so many aspects of electrical engineering and physics. I love the theory and application coming together. I look forward to building the amplifier!
Very good course, some of the math is a bit advanced, but the explanations are excellent. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I am eagerly waiting for the part 2!!
I thought that this class was great because it teaches many cool aspects that you can learn more about math with.
it was useful to review and update my knowledge in electronics and audio. I hope to see part 2 soon, thanks
