Critical Listening

First i want you to understand that listening to the music is very important. As a musician we have the ability to understand what happens in the sound.

So let's have a look at what could improve your critical listening. Here are couple simple steps that if you fallow should bring you a really good idea about what critical listening is about :

Load a reference track into an audio channel and add a EQ
Activate the low pass filter and set it to play back only the sub-region ( 20hz-100hz )
Now copy the EQ and it’s settings and add it the track you want to master, and compare the impact on the sub frequencies
Next let’s move the filter in the reference track, so we allowed more bass end and add the high pass filter to remover the sub frequency. and past the setting on the track you want to master and compare whats going on in each tracks.
Continue moving the two filter up and compare each sections in both of the tracks.
Finally when you get to the high end, remove the low pass filter and leave just the high pass filter. They say this is one of the hardest parts as there will be struggle to hear this frequency entirely .

Note: "Practice - Repetition leads to perfection"

Musical Tones

To better understand what sound is we need to dig into his characteristics. The sound we hear in the music is mostly a result of a vibratory disturbance of the atmosphere and objects in the environment. We can all this - sound waves! Sound waves can have different shapes. When the waves are chaotic, jumbled, we can refer to it as noise. But sound waves can be also regular, ordered and patterned. This sound waves create music rather then noise, and are mostly produced by musical instruments. Most musical instrument ( including synthesisers ) are made to produce sounds that have regular, harmonic characteristics. This we call tones. Our music is formed by tones, for example melodies and harmony. Each tone was couple parameters that is crucial to understand : pitch, intensity and tone quality. Pitch or Frequency All musical tones have certain pitch or frequency. The pitch of a musical note refers to how low, or how high the note is in the...
