Introduction to Critical Listening

201 Audio Sound

Description

Developing critical listening skills is an essential aspect of being an audio engineer. Without this skill, it can be rather difficult to make solid decisions in your mix, and you may not know why something sounds off. Charlie and Jeff talk us through how to start developing this skill.

Key Points:
  • Frequency is the number of cycles that a given sound wave produces in one second.
  • The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch sounds to our ears.
  • Pitch is relative, while Frequency is absolute. There are cases were 440Hz does not equal A on the keyboard.
