Firm, French Embassy collaborate on sound design training

MidiVision-Digital Audio Post Collective (DAPC), in partnership with the French Embassy and TransPerfect, has announced an intensive, hands-on training course to enhance the skills of audio professionals in location sound recording, post-production, and sound design.

Running from November 11 to November 29 at MidiVision-DAPC’s studios in Lagos, the program will host two batches of trainees, each completing a seven-day immersive module. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics including sound recording, editing, Foley, mixing, and mastering—offering participants practical experience with industry-standard tools and techniques.

This initiative, the first of its kind in the region, is part of MidiVision-DAPC’s mission to elevate the standards of audio production in the TV, film, and documentary industries. The training will prepare participants to compete internationally by equipping them with the technical skills needed in a rapidly evolving field.

Sharing his vision with the program, Dr. Bayo Adepetun, Founder and CEO of MidiVision-DAPC and a respected music and sound design expert revealed that “In 2020, after an exhilarating 32-year journey in audio production, I found myself at a crossroads. I had the option to embrace semi-retirement or ignite a new venture that would leave a lasting legacy for future generations of audio engineers and sound designers. Choosing the latter was an easy decision.”

He further explained the challenges that inspired the initiative: “The state of the audio post industry in our country felt like a surgeon trying to perform surgery with a fork and knife. There’s incredible talent here, but many lack the technical training necessary to compete internationally. This realization led to the creation of the first Dolby Atmos Studio on the continent and, soon after, a second unit. Despite these technological advancements, a major gap remains in the post-production skills of our sound engineers and mixers. Our goal is to bridge this gap and help local talent rise to global standards.”

Through this training, MidiVision-DAPC aims to close the skills gap, empowering a new generation of audio professionals. The program’s long-term goal is to expand its reach and improve the sound quality of African-produced TV, film, and documentary content.
