So, maybe something like this already exists, BUT I may have just created a really helpful memory tool for this concept. The sentence goes “yOU dOn’t wAnt bEnnY's Song To Suck”. Each syllable represents the vowel sound (or sibilant sound) and all you have to remember is that you start at 250 and double the value every syllable (250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k). The last sound "TS" uses 2 syllables, but that's the only exception you have to remember.

Agreed, Terry. Liked and subscribed.

For someone like me who studied phonetics this is a really interesting approach. What you are using here is the frequency of the second formant or third harmonic. (Usually you would use three harmonics to really properly identify a vowel.) If you have a bigger vowel-inventory than English you might also want to think about other vowel-sounds that can help you associate frequencies. There is only one thing that I don't agree with: The distinction between the (voiceless) s-sound and the ts-sound. The transcription here is actually right which means that 's' is a single sound that is usually centered around 5-8kHz. But 'ts' is exactly the same just with a plosive (t) in front. However 's' is already the consonant with the highest frequency center - so I can't think of any alternative for this.

This is actually a cool way of interpreting audio for producing - especially drums. Essentially the oo is the kick, ah is the snare and ts is the hat. For me visualising it like this adds a dimension to drum programming and even a parallel for beatboxing and isolating EQ frequencies for drums. Really cool! 🙌🏾

Thank you for the video ! I thoroughly agree with the need to technically train our ears although I’m not that sure if we should aim for a « scientification » of audio engineering (haven’t found a better word for it), as it is still based on subjective choices. Furthermore, the apparent lack of precision of usual words used to describe sound such as muddy, bright, warm, deep etc etc might also be a strength from an artistic point of view as it leaves room for interpretation by each person involved in the sound making process and can lead to unpredicted, surprising effects and sounds that might be liked and kept! All of this to say that randomness, subjectivity, lack of control, misunderstandings etc are to a certain extent both unavoidable and desirable, especially in art and even for us sound engineers!

Now I understand something related to this. When I was a kid I discover that if I put music in my phone and then I put my mouth in the speaker, when I changed the shape of my mouth the sound changes ( the Wahwah used on living on a player works that way ). Now I realize that by moving the shape of the mouth I just EQ the sound like if I'm using a bell filter. That a wah pedal does this too. I did feel that some sound had a vowel shape because of the EQ.

This is very interesting information worth checking out. May l submit for your consideration another way of learning how musical instruments sound is getting out of the control room and actually sitting along side of the actual musical instruments and learning their tembre and variations of frequency. ie the sound of a Chello or a set of drums or a triangle or piano or a trumpet or a Sax.. My background tought by my background in music theory classes and live orchestra etc. gave me the art form not just the technical. A scene from the old TV show M.A.S.H where Charles Emerson Winchester speaks to an injured soldier who played piano. He states you have the ability to play the music bringing it alive. Where l can merely play the notes. As Engineers we must know the art form not just how to move sliders and adjust controls. Wouldn't you agree?

Which sense does it make to listen to noise? Why not listen to filtered music in the first place?

I wonder if you can break down what the main vocal on a song has mostly highlighted frequency wise. Like the song by Shawn mendes there’s nothing holding me back. Or Ed sheerans shape of you. Iv been looking into mics for vocals and am curious as to what the main frequencies are for their voices. I feel like Shawn mendes’ vocals are highlighted by 2-6 k ish. But I don’t know, it’s from gut feeling I haven’t really looked deeply into it. Often cheap microphones have highly diligent sounds though pop singers like that because their producers tell them it’s good, nowadays producers and mixers give ugly silibant sounds because I think they are too lazy to eq the silibsnce out. You can think of Demi levatos sorry not sorry or post Malone’s Motley Crue . A lot of songs from a band like blink 182 in enema didn’t have these issues

After practicing this method of listening, you'll start to associate these vowel sounds to the corresponding frequency bands. While you're mixing a song, you'll hear too much (or too little) energy in one of those vowel sounds. Because you can now associate that vowel sound with the corresponding frequency band, you know exactly (or roughly) where to boost or cut with an EQ. Does that explanation help? Good question.
