Why do some mixes feel deep and three-dimensional, even without loads of reverb? In this episode, Sara breaks down how we actually hear depth and how you can use that understanding to bring your mixes to life.

You’ll learn the four key cues your ears use to judge distance, how to balance direct and reflected sound for realism, and why creating contrast is more important than adding more reverb. By the end, you’ll have a fresh way of thinking about space and depth that goes beyond plugins, helping you make more confident, intentional mix decisions.

Watch Sara demonstrate how to build width and depth naturally in real sessions, using reverb, panning, and contrast to create space that feels alive and musical, here: Rock Masterclass Collection
