Other Audio Monitoring Tips
OK. So now let's have a look at some other audio monitoring tips. The first one is to listen on different speakers. So if you're mixing music or you're mixing audio, you definitely want to listen and test your audio or music on different speakers. But even if you're recording audio, you still want to listen and test your audio on different speakers because like I said before, you wanna get the highest quality audio possible before you mix it. So people listening to your videos or listening to your audio aren't gonna have the same speakers or same monitors as you, they're not gonna be in the same environment, they're not gonna be in the same room. So you really wanna test your audio on as many different speakers as possible. So if your audio sounds good on all these speakers, you know, it's gonna sound good. Not everyone's gonna have studio monitors. People may be listening on the phone on an ipad, on a Bluetooth speaker. So you wanna test your audio on those different devices as well a...
nd make sure it sounds good. The next one is you can use something called Sonar works reference. So what this does, is this actually kind of measures your room and uh with a microphone. So you play a tone out of your speaker or many different tones out of your speaker and then you record this with a microphone, the software tells you exactly how to do it. But what it does is it calibrates your speakers to match your room and listening environment because your speakers or your monitors aren't always correct. They do add coloration that can change the sound of your audio and where you're sitting in your room, in a listening environment, how you've treated your, treated your room, all affects how your audio sounds. So Sonos reference allows you to kind of calibrate and measure your room, measure your speakers and get sounding as correct as possible. So that is a little tip. That's what I use to make sure my uh audio sounds as correct as it can. Next thing is um compare your audio to uh pro audio recordings or use a reference track. So you can use my audio recordings if you want or anyone online that you think has good quality audio, you will listen to the audio and compare yours to them. Why does the audio sound so good? What can you do to make your audio better? So if that audio sounds dramatically better, you kind of want the backwards engineering work out. Why does that audio sound so much better? A lot of these youtubers have a list of the different equipment they use. You can have a look at that. You can look at their studio tours. A lot of them have studio tours. So what room treatment have they got? What microphones have they got where they're place in their microphone? But for recording audio, monitoring, audio, you wanna work out those basic things, room treatment, what gear they've got? And also a how are they speaking into the microphone or where's the microphone placed? But yeah, compare it to someone that sounds great in uh music terms. We call that a reference track, but you use a reference track so you can uh get your audio sounding really good, but make sure you use a reference track or make sure you reference someone that has high quality audio.
