Mix Listening II continues to build listening skills and aural awareness while expanding students’ palette of production techniques and vocabulary. Students learn how to identify and determine key mix frequencies for instruments across different musical genres and cultures. Students also learn to identify finer parameters of natural and artificial reverb, delay, and compression settings, and their effect on mixes and what we hear. Students are provided with in-depth comparisons of microphones, mic pre-amps, and amplifiers, as well as stereo mic configurations. Throughout the course, students analyze professional recordings and strengthen listening skills through ear- training drills.
