more Golden Ears

[ruckus49]

i love the formula of Dave Moulton's golden ears program. the only problem i have with it is that there aren't enough songs for it, and the ones on there really suck. im trying to figure out a way to do this for some songs in the electronic genre. the only thing i could think of is to separate one song onto 21 different tracks : 10 tracks with eq for boosting one of the 10 octaves, and 10 tracks with eq for cutting one of the 10 octaves, then one dry track. then i would have to go through the timeline, splitting each part i want EQ'd between the appropriate boost/cut track and the dry track.

this seems like it should be easier, but i'm not sure of how to get this done quickly and accurately. the only thing i can think of right now is making a project template like i described. ahh. maybe riding the faders will work better. i dunno, im indecisive

Code: Select all

An audio ear-training course for recording engineers, producers and musicians. Moulton started doing such training as an educational exercise for students back in 1969, and has since used it everywhere. In 1992, KIQ Productions asked Moulton to make it commercially available, and the rest is history.

Vol. 1: Frequencies
Trains you to recognize boosts and cuts in all ten octaves of the frequency spectrum. Progressive drills build from simple boosts in music to more demanding single octave cuts in pink noise.

Vol. 2: Effects & Processing
31 possible signal processing changes, grouped into simple families: amplitude change, gross and subtle distortion, slow and fast release compression, equalization changes, stereophony anomalies and time-delay / reverberation settings.

Vol. 3: Delays and Decays
Delay settings from tenths of a millisecond to whole seconds; panning / slap / spaciousness effects -- in mono and stereo, on sustained and transient sounds. Reverb parameters -- predelays, decay times, etc. Invaluable when creating programs.

Vol. 4: Master frequencies
Advanced EQ. Identify cuts and boosts to within a third of an octave; and two octave bands simultaneously boosted and/or cut.

    ENDORSEMENTS
    ...the music business is about sound, and anything that can help you capture and manipulate better sounds merits a look. After repeated listenings, I was actually able to discern which octaves were being cut or boosted in the frequency drills... after getting over my terrible score, I realized that the ability to identify small nuances in signal processing can help fine-tune a good mix, or even save a tough one... The more you listen, the better you become.

    The AES Student Section at Full Sail Center for the Recording Arts is excited to provide the Golden Ears eartraining Program to its members as a great complement to their real world education.

    ...Golden Ears has given me the confidence to tackle some of the most exciting and demanding projects... [Golden Ears] provided me with an understanding of the audio post and sweetening needs... to work on the sound design for the world's largest Omnimax theater... after working at the eartraining course, mixing, synth programming and sound design just became second nature. I will request that it be a required text for all students.
