Learning to hear- sound engineering learning resources

Hi,

I'm working as a runner for a post-production sound company and starting to do some dialogue editing. I struggle a lot with ADR spotting and want to learn more about how sound works and be able to identify problems with audio recordings and the extent to which these problems can be resolved with Pro Tools other than just rerecording.

Is it worth learning a new DAW for a great career opportunity?

I am a rookie producer/engineer who uses Cubase. I usually am hired for lower budget recording projects where I will do all the engineering, editing, mixing and sometimes mastering, and playing guitars and bass. I have been recording as a hobby for about 4 years, but only as a job for a little over a year.

Learning the science of using EQ

The time for me has come to EQ my vocal & guitar tracks. In past recordings (with less powerful DAW’s), of course, I messed with EQ a (but not really knowing what I was doing). Now, I have just completed that best vocal & guitar tracks of my life (& I have SERIOUS audio tools at my disposal, like a UAD-1 with Neve settings & the Waves Diamond bundle).
