Sound for Video Session: Why Ear Training is Critical for Audio Work  @LearnLightAndSoundSessions

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we discuss why ear training is critical for audio post production or live sound reinforcement. And we do some ear training, while we're at it.

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at school.learnlightandsound.com including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
