Summary:
It’s time to take your mixes to the next level – your ears will never be the same!
Experienced mixing engineers know which frequencies to boost or cut, how to dial in compressors, and how to use effects like reverb and delay to make mixes sound full, deep and wide. Learn the sounds of the tools they use, practice a lot, and you’ll be making great mixes too.
It usually takes years of practice to learn how to make quality mixes, but with the Ear Training Kit™, you can significantly shorten the amount of time it takes by sharpening your critical listening skills. You’ll train yourself to instantly identify frequencies, delay times, reverb pre-delays, compression settings, and more so you can mix faster and with more confidence.
