Mixing Secret: Identify and Exploit “Micro Hooks”

We are back to our regularly scheduled programming with a new livestream podcast episode today.

The theme? How to “Hook” the listener with your mix.

And it starts today at 3pm ET!

The reality is that how good your mix “sounds” doesn’t matter if it doesn’t FEEL right.

And the #1 way to get mixes to “feel” better is to correctly identify the rhythmic hooks in any given section.

The word “hook” can mean a lot of things in music…

But today, we are not necessarily talking about the “hook” in the sense of the “chorus” of the song.

Instead, we’re talking about identifying the “microhooks” found throughout the song, in each and every section, and exploiting them.

Catch it live or on replay here.
