Ever since I can remember, I've been a huge fan of H Ramin Djawadi and his music. As I get older, my dream is to become a music composer. That's why I chose to enroll in a course on sound design, to dive deeper into the world of sound creation that I'm so passionate about. I'm extremely grateful for your course; it offered everything I was searching for and even more. I'm hopeful that in the future, you'll offer additional courses focused on music and music composition.
I originally joined Nucleus with the intention of studying 3D, but after exploring the platform further, I stumbled upon a sound design course. The initial classes intrigued me so much that I decided to complete the course, as I found the field highly fascinating. It never occurred to me that special professionals were required for all the effects in movies and games. I'm very satisfied with the course and will certainly recommend Nucleus to my friends.

I had downloaded Ableton a long time ago and tried to use it without any formal training. It was only later that I realized I wasn't utilizing most of the features of the software. Thanks to Nucleus, I can now do much more. The course offered extensive practical experience and provided a lot of theoretical and crucial information about sound. I also learned about some great plugins during the course, which I now use in my work.
