Hello aaa, I've been telling you about the Audio University membership this week. Today I want to let members speak for themselves. "I have already completed extensive online training on mixing, EQ, and compression, but I came away from another program feeling like I still wasn't good at deep listening. This was exactly what I was looking for." - Bill, Member Bill had been through other programs before joining the membership. What made this one different was the focus on learning to listen, not just learning information. That's a distinction most courses don't make. "Professor Herman does a really good job of telling you what to listen for. I appreciate that." - Karim, Member Professor Gabe Herman teaches the mixing course inside the membership and he's one of the best teacher's I've learned from. He explains things in practical terms and demonstrates things so you can learn to hear it for yourself when you're mixing your music. "Mixing Essentials is excellent. It provides a holistic approach to the science and psychoacoustics of sound that are essential for good audio production. The lectures are concise and on point. The demonstrations show how to apply it in the DAW." - Tyler, Member "The mix review was instrumental in enhancing my mixing and production skills. It not only validated the techniques and choices I was making but also highlighted areas needing improvement to refine the mix and production." - Lito, Member What I notice across all of these is the same shift: from learning the information to knowing what to listen for so you can apply it to every mix you work on. [Join Audio University - $79 for 3 months] The ear training course I teach is the foundation of learning to listen in this way. Gabe's mixing course builds on that foundation, developing the decision-making so you know what to do with what you're hearing. The mix review sessions are where your skills get tested, but it's always a supportive and encouraging experience. You submit your mix, Gabe listens and records a detailed video review with specific feedback on what's working and what he'd approach differently. You can watch it back and ask follow-up questions. There's also a monthly live session called Ask a Professor, where you can submit questions ahead of time or come on screen for a face-to-face conversation with me, Gabe, and other working engineers. It's the kind of access that normally requires enrolling in a university program or knowing someone in the industry. Members use this opportunity to get answers about their specific rooms, their specific mixes, and their specific gear. It's so much better than reading through endless Reddit forums just to find conflicting advice from strangers. Instead, you can get direct answers from people who do this for a living. There's also Talkback Tuesday. Every Tuesday at 1pm Eastern, members hop on a Zoom call to talk about what they're working on, what's not working, and what they're figuring out. No agenda. No presentation. You show up when you want and talk shop with other people who take audio seriously. Then there's Record Club. Each week, a legendary album gets posted in the community. Members listen on their own time and leave comments about what they hear from a production and mixing perspective. This is how engineers have always sharpened their ears. Sitting with a great record and talking about what you're hearing with other people who are paying attention. That exchange is how the best engineers learned, and it's still one of the most effective ways to develop your ear. Free content can teach you the concepts. The membership is where you learn to listen critically, practice applying the concepts, and get direct feedback from someone who does this professionally. The launch price expires tomorrow night. After that, new members start at $99 instead of $79. No long-term commitment either way. You can cancel anytime. [Join Audio University - $79 for 3 months] Let me know if you have any questions. Talk soon, Kyle - Audio University |
