Sonic Sundays — Master Class Series
Your ears already know more than you think. Let's teach them to talk.
Four skills, each one unlocking the next — taught by Michael Law Thomas in one hands-on Sunday.
1
Localization
Once you know why your ears place sound where they do, you can put it there on purpose — not by accident.
2
The six-column method
A repeatable process for scoring any reference track, so every mix starts from a plan instead of a guess.
3
Visual soundstage mapping
Turns depth and width — the stuff that feels like natural talent — into something you can draw and repeat.
4
Live calibration drills
Trains your ear to catch level and pan ratios in real time, not just after the mix is already done.
Who's teaching it
Taught by someone who still loves doing this.
Michael Law Thomas
Director of Operations, The Record Co. · Mix Engineer
A Grammy-winning audio engineer with credits including Jay-Z, Jhené Aiko, Common, Vince Staples, and Robert Glasper.
“Once you can draw a mix, you stop guessing at it and start sculpting it.”
Not that it should matter, but…
The skills come from real rooms, real records.
