My background is in audio. I’ve taught 30,000+ people skills in the world of professional audio.

But other friends of mine started their path in the world of film—in video.

Learning how to mix engineer audio fundamentally changes the way you think about sound. About the makeup and distribution of the frequencies all around us.

I’m amazed at how much this skill translates to a seemingly unrelated skill: color correcting in video.

Once you understand that a signal can be split into its component frequencies and adjusted, you have a framework for understanding both the frequencies of sound and of light.

Each reinforces the other.

There are so many areas in life where one skill translates to an unexpected other.

If you want to solve computer (coding) problems, listen to computer (electronic) music. They feed each other.

That’s where exponential learning begins.
