We all know how to hear, it's natural, but knowing how to listen is a learned skill. It takes practice and it takes thought. Knowing how to listen is the key to making better and faster decision during the process of recording music. In this video, Fab shows you how to focus your attention on parts of the signal, explains memorization process and habits and warns you aginst the most common bad habits.
Because a lot of the listening process is based on emotions, intuition and impressions this video uses psycho-acoustics to show you the most common pitfalls of focused listening.
Please resist the irresistible urge to spoil the process for other viewers by leaving hints in the comments. You punks know who you are, darn kids these days…

The video keeps hanging at around 14:30 and re setting back to that specific section. I can skip it and it will finish the video, but not sure why its hanging at that specific point in the video. Its like stuck in a loop. Great Video BTW!

my entire career as a producer intuiting and arriving at these same conclusions that are now so elegantly explained and organized! Thank you very much indeed!
I think the techniques in this video are more valuable than a hundred plugins!

I was left with a sense of being inspired that I actually CAN train my ears to listen for these subtle things. Thank you! I also went and got the book by Jason Corey Audio Production and Critical Listening because...well I need to. As a hobbyist recordist and musician it is my goal to bring my skills to a place that I am happy with. I happen to trust my own taste, and as soon as I figure out what that is, exactly, I'll be on my way to making tracks I can be proud of. Until then...et Voila!
