You've heard countless times that you should "use your ears", and "not mix with your eyes". And it makes sense. All that matters is what comes out of the speakers. But are you aware that this well-intended advice might actually be slowing down your progress? In this episode we discuss why we think that it's not only perfectly fine, but actually a really good idea to use analyzers and other metering tools throughout all the different phases of music production.We explain how we use them in our mixes, as well as as during recording and even arranging.Listen now and learn how you can become faster and more confident in your decision making, as well as develop your ears and taste much quicker, if you start using analyzers and certain metering tools the right way.  For full show notes go to: theselfrecordingband.com/88If you have any questions, feedback, topic ideas or want to suggest a guest, email us at: [email protected] us Fan MailIf you have any questions, feedback, topic ideas or want to suggest a guest, email us at: [email protected]
