Will, it's truly great to hear you mention visual checks...

Tip #6 is good, but I don't write anything down. Writing is slow, and I really want to be able to listen in one go and stay focused. Instead, I hit record on my phone, press play in the     See More ake short comments out loud every time I hear something I want to change ("bass", "ear candy", "pan", etc). What you end up with is an audio file that gives you audio "markers" you can then revisit (even the timecode of the audio file on your phone will be in the ballpark of the actual music track), AND you have the context of the actual music at the actual time you made the comment in the same audio recording.    See Less

Will, it's truly great to hear you mention visual checks, rather than just the trusting your ears thing, so zero hate from me. For two reasons. Firstly, I think that if you need to train     See More to hear say subtle changes of your synths at 5Khz, then the chances are that 99% of listeners will also not notice, as they don't have trained hearing either. Secondly, I suspect many of us have damaged hearing (too much loud heavy metal in my youth) and I certainly have quite poor hearing at certain frequencies, and therefore a visual analysis, comparing to the reference is for me by far the best approach, as trusting my ears would simply be bonkers.    See Less

Always very helpful and useful videos you make, Will. Even though I'm using FL Studio. Is there some must have mixing plugins "you need" to have to make great mixes, or is it p     See More th stuck plugins in "every" DAW?    See Less

Tip #6 is good, but I don't write anything down. Writing is slow, and I really want to be able to listen in one go and stay focused. Instead, I hit record on my phone, press play in the     See More ake short comments out loud every time I hear something I want to change ("bass", "ear candy", "pan", etc). What you end up with is an audio file that gives you audio "markers" you can then revisit (even the timecode of the audio file on your phone will be in the ballpark of the actual music track), AND you have the context of the actual music at the actual time you made the comment in the same audio recording.    See Less

Will, it's truly great to hear you mention visual checks, rather than just the trusting your ears thing, so zero hate from me. For two reasons. Firstly, I think that if you need to train     See More to hear say subtle changes of your synths at 5Khz, then the chances are that 99% of listeners will also not notice, as they don't have trained hearing either. Secondly, I suspect many of us have damaged hearing (too much loud heavy metal in my youth) and I certainly have quite poor hearing at certain frequencies, and therefore a visual analysis, comparing to the reference is for me by far the best approach, as trusting my ears would simply be bonkers.    See Less
