Identifying Low Frequencies for Clearer Mixes

The video tutorial explains how to identify vowel sounds associated with octave frequency bands and introduces a method to identify low frequency bands using haptics. It emphasizes the importance of feeling sound vibrations in the body to recognize low frequencies, especially when using full-range speakers. The tutorial also highlights the limitations of certain audio equipment in producing low frequencies and provides resources for further ear training practice.

Why is it more challenging to identify low frequencies compared to higher frequencies?

• Low frequencies are too high-pitched.

• Low frequencies are too loud.

• Low frequencies do not correspond with vowel sounds.

• Low frequencies are inaudible.

What term is used to describe the felt sensations of sound on your body?

• Sonics

• Haptics

• Acoustics

• Vibrations

Where do you typically feel the vibration of the 125 Hz frequency band?

• In your chest

• In your head

• In your feet

• In your belly

What does the 63 Hz frequency band typically feel like?

• A sharp noise

• A low rumble

• A resonating feeling in the chest

• A high-pitched sound

What is a common experience of sensing low frequencies at a concert?

• Hearing high-pitched sounds

• Feeling the vibrations throughout the body

• Feeling a headache

• Hearing nothing

What might prevent you from hearing low frequency examples well?

• Listening on phone speakers

• Listening at a concert

• Using a subwoofer

• Using full range speakers

Why might headphones not provide the same experience as full range speakers for low frequencies?

• Headphones are too small

• Headphones do not allow you to feel the sound

• Headphones do not produce low frequencies

• Headphones are too loud

What should you do if you struggle to hear the low frequency examples?
