This week, we hosted a livestream all about one of the most valuable skills for any engineer: developing your ear.
In this session, we explored practical methods to recognize frequency ranges by sound, understand how they affect your mix, and apply that awareness to EQ and balance decisions that make your work sound more professional.

Capturing clean audio for film and video can be tricky when microphones need to stay out of the shot.
In this video, you’ll learn how shotgun microphones and lavaliers are used on set to record professional dialogue without appearing on camera. We’ll cover when to use a highly directional shotgun mic, how interference tubes work, and how to hide lav mics while maintaining clear, consistent sound.
Throwback: Get More From Your Audio Interface with These Tips
If you’ve ever thought you needed a massive 32 channel interface to record a full band, mix with outboard gear, or run immersive audio setups, think again.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to get more from your existing interface by expanding it with digital protocols like ADAT, MADI, Dante, and AVB. Discover how these systems connect preamps, converters, and other devices over fiber or network cables to unlock dozens of extra inputs and outputs without buying an entirely new interface.
