      I mean it's sort of a joke but it's also something some people might need to hear. Analogue to people who color grade video and focus too much on the scopes.
      If you're shooting a close up of a red rose, you're not supposed to see balanced scopes. It's red. 90% of your screen is red because it's supposed to be red. If you even out the scopes, the red rose is no longer red.

    Learned more over the last half hour, than in all 3 years I've been mixing, so quick to show what to listen for, and the vowel, sibilance and haptic view makes it so much easier. WTG Kyle and thanks for doing this

  • @BUCKSHOTSTV

    I’m tripping with myself right now. I’m a degreed musician, so I do have ear training, but I had never ever heard of this technique with frequencies. Well even drunk, I got all the examples right after your first video just briefly explaining the syllable to the frequency. That made it all click in my head. Although I don’t mix music daily, I occasionally do, but primarily work with vocal tracks full time. So this has just helped me tremendously to identify what im hearing immediately. Before it was just a guessing game as I had no idea there was a method, but now I know there is, and my ear training can be applied to frequencies almost seamlessly. You’re a genius! Thank you!

    OMG, thank you! I've been searching for a simple guide like this to train my ear for months. I started sound school last fall, and the best advice I've gotten from the staff was to "listen critically and it'll make sense." While that advice was actually true, it's been slow going. The vowel sound thing is brilliant!

    The vocals sounded a little muddy and the mid-high boost was perfect option becuase the power (presence) in the vocals come around the AA 4k-6k hz, the guitar was boomy, so were the vocals, but the guitar is overal more powerful and when you boost the vocals high end, you get an equal mix, the low boomy end goes to the guitar and the mids and highs are for the vocals, and your ears are pleased finally :)
