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
Get your recording ready in your own player
Start both at the same time: playback there, “Start” here
Press the matching key whenever something stands out — or 1 to 4 on the keyboard
Copy the notes at the end and work through them on a second listen
Count which category comes up most: that is your topic for next week
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.
