Music Production School

I just came across this article on the ProducingBeats.com and it’s a very interesting read.

The fact is that as DJs or producers, in both a professional as well as an amature setting, we are all subject to a great deal of abuse when it comes to our hearing. Good hearing is undoubtably an essential commodity when it comes to working with music, it is something which you don’t want to lose! With the hours and hours that many of us spend listening to music at high levels, whether while at a club, a gig, when DJing, in the studio, or even on personal music players there is always a chance that your hearing will be damaged, and as we have posted before you cannot underestimate the value of a good set of professional ear plugs.

However, there has never really been an easy way to test your hearing, to check if you have anything to worry about and see whether you have suffered any damage when it comes to the precise hearing that most of us one day had. Now it has never been area to check out your hearing levels and see what frequency range you can hear, you can simply check your hearing using the uHear iPhone app.

In any case suffering hearing damage should definitely involve a medical consultation, but this new little app is great for a music producer as you can check the exact frequencies that you can hear to a good standard. This may prove to be extremely useful when it comes to the final mixdown of a track. Anyway you can check out the full article here.
