Module 1 – Referencing Quiz (Media)

The sound clips below correspond to the questions in the Module 1 Referencing Quiz. We recommend having both browser windows open side-by-side for ease of use. Also, this post will help you identify some of the most common sounds in EDM – very useful!

Feel free to either just listen to the clips in your browser – or download and bring them into your DAW, using the X-Ray technique to help you answer each question. Remember – with the X-Ray technique you can jump around the track, slow the tempo down, and /or filter out certain frequencies to try and focus your ears on a particular sound. Good luck!
