Mix Review

Timestamps instead of “it was alright”

A clock and four keys. You play your own recording in your own player and start the clock alongside it; every time something stands out, you press transition, levels, energy or track choice. At the end there is a list of timestamps you can copy and work through on a second listen.

What you learn with it

Why an analysis without notes leads nowhere. While listening, something catches your ear at minute 6 and something else at minute 14 — and at the end you remember an overall impression you cannot act on. Four categories with timestamps turn that into a list you work through. And the distribution tells you what to practise next: five level marks are a gain problem, not an off day.

How to use the tool

1.

Get your recording ready in your own player

2.

Start both at the same time: playback there, “Start” here

3.

Press the matching key whenever something stands out — or 1 to 4 on the keyboard

4.

Copy the notes at the end and work through them on a second listen

5.

Count which category comes up most: that is your topic for next week

Pro tip

Better to set a mark too early than not at all — when working through it you rewind a few seconds, which costs nothing. And judge nothing while the recording runs: marking is note-taking, the verdict comes on the second pass.

Recommended practice time

15–30 minutes

Take the time in one go — hearing and timing develop through repetition, not through reading.
