Abstract
This project explores how listening environments and mediums impact mixing decisions. You'll mix two multitracks from different genres, focusing on ensuring your mixes translate well across various environments: one emphasizing high dynamic range (jazz, classic, acoustic) and the other focusing on small speaker systems (hip hop/R&B). You'll apply professional techniques like comparative listening and sonic analysis to address these challenges.
Student went above and beyond in all aspects of project including conducting their own ethnographic research to inform practice.
