Recording spoken word with stereo mic

[Terry Mikkelsen]

That reminds me of when I first really started listening, rather than engineering. One of the best things I did was listen to the “Golden Ears” cds. (I couldn’t afford them at the time, but was able to a borrow them.) The part I remember best are the pure tones. They would just play pure sine waves and announce the frequency before each played. Gradually they would get spaced closer together. Then they were combined at different volumes. It really honed my EQ skills. Hearing the frequency in the music and then being able to immediately dial that in on the EQ to add or subtract it is invaluable.

Hearing those tones made a life-long impression in my brain.
