We all know how to hear, it's natural, but knowing how to listen is a learned skill. It takes practice and it takes thought. Knowing how to listen is the key to making better and faster decision during the process of recording music. In this video, Fab shows you how to focus your attention on parts of the signal, explains memorization process and habits and warns you aginst the most common bad habits.
Because a lot of the listening process is based on emotions, intuition and impressions this video uses psycho-acoustics to show you the most common pitfalls of focused listening.
Please resist the irresistible urge to spoil the process for other viewers by leaving hints in the comments. You punks know who you are, darn kids these days…

Gonna let the Drummer crack slide (as a drummer, with impeccable taste...) because the rest of the video, as usual here, was chock full of great nuggets and easy to watch, also as usual. Fab is truly an inspired artist, amazing craftsman, and outstanding teacher. I continue to go round n round with all of his content as well as others here on PureMix. Someone in these comments mentioned something about $17 being too expensive. I will call giant BS on that. Value for the $$ here on PureMix is peaking way up at +9 db. Love it.
thanks Fab and everyone here.

The video keeps hanging at around 14:30 and re setting back to that specific section. I can skip it and it will finish the video, but not sure why its hanging at that specific point in the video. Its like stuck in a loop. Great Video BTW!

my entire career as a producer intuiting and arriving at these same conclusions that are now so elegantly explained and organized! Thank you very much indeed!
I think the techniques in this video are more valuable than a hundred plugins!
