The Digital Sound Producer (DSPc) is the most complete curriculum offered by Pyramind Training, providing advanced training in all aspects of sound. Students interested in the DSP should be prepared for an intense and rewarding educational experience that will prepare them for some of the most demanding jobs in the industry.

DSP graduates have gone on to hold creative positions at companies including Sony PlayStation, DoubleFine Studios, Polarity Post, Loudville.tv, and InGrooves and have worked on properties such as "Star Wars: The Old Republic", "Watchmen", "God of War 3", "Dante’s Inferno," "Brutal Legend," and "Infamous," in addition to developing their own successful personal projects.

The DSP builds on the subjects offered in the Core and extends them to professional levels with additional classes in Music Theory, Production, Synthesis, and Game Sound. The DSP also includes four more subjects - Music Mixing & Mastering, 5.1 Surround-Sound Mixing, Video Production, and Remixing - that further expand the student's skills.

At this advanced level, many classes are project-based, giving DSP students a heavy creative workload. This ensures that the full arsenal of students abilities are tested and refined; everything from technical and musical skills to software "chops" and business acumen.

The DSP also includes 4 additional highly sought-after industry certifications in addition to the 4 found in the Core:

• Pro Tools Expert Certification in Music
• Pro Tools Operator Post
• Apple Final Cut Pro
• WAVES Gold

It's a lot to take in, but for those looking to grow from content creators to the industry-defining professionals of tomorrow, the DSP is your ticket.
