Live Feedback
Have you ever heard feedback at a concert? Annoying, right? Way worse when you are the sound engineer and everybody looks at you!
In this video Alex Mars, from XSSR Academy, shows you how to train your ears to catch those feedbacks as quickly as possible. The Live Feedback Exercise emulates the sound of feedback which is “about to happen”.

2 Bands in a 7 Frequencies Equalizer
In this video Alex Mars, from XSSR Academy, takes a quick look at a training exercise called “Find 2 bands in a 7 frequencies equalizer“.
The main goal of this exercise is to find 2 frequencies that are changed in the audio source and correct them. As Alex suggests, listen carefully and don’t be afraid to play with the bands. You’ll have to make a decision on how the audio sounds and how to make it better.
During the exercise, Alex uses a Coins’ album called “Daft Science”, available here.
