Current music production pedagogy trains audio students in fundamental critical listening skills, but how does one apply ear training techniques to the more advanced stages of audio production--mixing and mastering? In Hear This! Critical Listening in Mixing and Mastering, Russ Hepworth-Sawyer and Jay Hodgson demonstrate how, why, and when mixing and mastering engineers should apply critical listening skills to improve their final outputs and identify and correct common problems that arise with reverb, distortion, delay, balance, equalization, transfer, and noise control. A robust companion website features audio samples from various music genres, multitrack files, and video tutorials.
