About
Audio education built on real-world practice
We teach audio post-production, dubbing mixing, sound design, immersive audio and composition through the workflows used in professional production.
Our courses and learning materials are created by experienced educators who also work in dialogue editing, sound design, composition and final mixing. That means the teaching is informed by current production practice—not theory alone.
Who we are
AV on the Edge Education grew from more than two decades of professional and academic experience spanning independent film, documentary, museum installations, live sound and music production.
The platform provides courses and interactive learning tools for students, emerging professionals and anyone developing practical skills in sound editing, dubbing mixing, immersive audio and music production.
