Why “muddy” doesn’t mean what you think it does
In this episode, I’m exploring why mixers use the same audio words but rarely mean the same thing. Terms like warm, bright, or muddy sound simple, but our listening histories shape how we interpret them. That’s why mix feedback can feel confusing, even when it’s well intended.
You’ll learn how to build your own definitions for common audio terms, why this boosts your confidence, and three small habits that help you develop a clearer, more personal audio vocabulary.
In this episode:
-
Why audio terms are so subjective
-
How your listening background shapes your language
-
Simple ways to build your own definitions
