I have ONE issue that leaves me in the dark when it comes to the art of mastering…… and I worked hard for it. First, on a massive brick tile job I cut thousands of 1″ think tiles. Hearing protection in those days was for sissies. My ears howled for a week……. in that week I went to Santana concert, the certified loudest band on the planet; Santana’s dB levels (actually “sound pressure levels”; dB isn’t a snapshot quantity but the difference in magnitudes of 10 from near-silence) were equal to standing next to a Boeing 747 on full throttle. Later, for decades I was bandleader of the “loudest band in the region”. Again, hearing protection was for sissies. Therefore, as I type this, except for the refrigerator’s hum, I hear thousands of crickets and frogs…… it’s January, east of Washington D.C. Not a cricket or frog chirping for thousands of miles around.
When I mix, the “valley” in my hearing makes me push HI-MID freqs way way up to compensate. At such a point it’s mandatory to rely on “visual” hearing. Hope to run across anything like that in the material.
