Becoming familiar with the frequency spectrum is the foundation for developing a great ear. Crucial for producers, mixing and mastering engineers, but also anyone involved in the creation of recordings as well as live sound. More ear training exercises available on Patreon (this month's patron reward).

In this video, we begin by breaking down the full expanse of human hearing (20hz - 20khz) into seven broad areas: sub-bass (20hz - 60hz), bass (60hz - 250hz), low-mids (250hz - 500hz), midrange (500hz - 2khz), upper-mids (2khz - 4khz), presence (4khz - 6khz) and brilliance (6khz-20khz).
You'll also discover that frequency spectrum based ear training will seriously enhance your experience of music, allowing you to process what you're hearing in more detail. Songwriters, composers and orchestrators will benefit deeply from understanding the tapestry of frequencies that's woven by the instruments in an arrangement and, in many ways, it lays bare the underlying forces of orchestration principles. And all musicians will develop a finer degree of resolution for things like shaping tone and timbre.
Ready to take your ear to the next level? Let's get started!
Coming up in the series, we introduce additional ear training exercises as well as techniques that apply this knowledge. Any questions, just ask!
