When it comes to audio and creating a good sound, everyone will tell you "just trust your ears". It's a blanket statement that really means "spend the next 30 years figuring this out, because this rabbit hole is deeper than you could possibly imagine". This becomes exponentially more difficult when we realize our audio is lying to us, ALWAYS!
Building on what we know about frequency from last week, we're now exploring all the things that impact how we perceive these frequencies in every day life. From the shape of our ear and how it perceives loudness along the frequency spectrum, to the way our microphone capture sound, the way our speakers translate that sound at different decibel levels, and how our room colors the sound. We can never be sure that what we're hearing is actually real! It's a huge problem, one that takes a long long time to understand, then diagnose, and properly handle.
