I do not understand how to hear compression. Played the same game 10 times and my score didn't even improve. Does anyone have a link to a video explanation or just some sort of descriptor of what I am supposed to be listening for?

This one helped me a lot in the beginning.

Hey there, I really like this video:


And don't underestimate how much the speakers or headphones you're using can make a difference in your ability to hear stuff. I could not hear compression at all until I started using good headphones (unless the settings were absolutely insane), and I always thought it a problem with my skills. But think of it this way: if you can't see color, maybe you're colorblind... but maybe you're looking at a black and white TV. Your equipment really can make or break your ability to hear stuff sometimes. What cans or speakers are you using? Try listening to sounds with extreme settings (remember to roughly volume match) and you might start hearing the difference. As you get better, you'll notice more and more subtlety.

@Darro 2017 Hiya. I follow Joe Gilder and got the email with the link he referred to. I put watching it on the back burner but now that I see you referring to I think I take a listen. Thanks
