      I mean it's sort of a joke but it's also something some people might need to hear. Analogue to people who color grade video and focus too much on the scopes.
      If you're shooting a close up of a red rose, you're not supposed to see balanced scopes. It's red. 90% of your screen is red because it's supposed to be red. If you even out the scopes, the red rose is no longer red.

    I’m tripping with myself right now. I’m a degreed musician, so I do have ear training, but I had never ever heard of this technique with frequencies. Well even drunk, I got all the examples right after your first video just briefly explaining the syllable to the frequency. That made it all click in my head. Although I don’t mix music daily, I occasionally do, but primarily work with vocal tracks full time. So this has just helped me tremendously to identify what im hearing immediately. Before it was just a guessing game as I had no idea there was a method, but now I know there is, and my ear training can be applied to frequencies almost seamlessly. You’re a genius! Thank you!

    OMG, thank you! I've been searching for a simple guide like this to train my ear for months. I started sound school last fall, and the best advice I've gotten from the staff was to "listen critically and it'll make sense." While that advice was actually true, it's been slow going. The vowel sound thing is brilliant!
