Huge thanks to SoundGym for being such an amazing ear-training tool 🎧 I’ve made real progress thanks to the app, and here’s a video showing where I’m at today. Comments and feedback are welcome!
I Genuinely Forgot The Last Time I Leveled Up In Kit Cut
Honestly I think it's my favorite game to play because identifying what's missing from a mix is way harder. That's why I don't even use the EQ ON/OFF button. Probably why it took me so long to level up heh
I'd like to share that our new Soniq Mirage EP Illusion or Truth is live today on all the streaming platforms and on-line music stores. Soniq Mirage is a pop-rock duo featuring Ken Matsuda and me.
Thank you. I didn't even know I was playing. haha I was just warming my ears up before starting work everyday. I'll pay more attention to the scores.😁🙇♂️
I keep hearing their are keyboard shortcuts for games that don't have them listed. I learned about pressing the C key today quickly after answering incorrectly. Does anyone have any shortcuts to share? Please and thank you!
Great tip! Thanks, Stephanie! For the longest time, I'd aim for frequencies with the skinny line on certain games, and just now realized that there's a darker gray range around that skinny line, and that explains why sometimes I'm off with the skinny line, but get a good ding, and other times I'm off and get a bad ding. Just shows I'm using my ears and not my eyes, I guess, haha.
You can see the shortcuts on the screen with the description of the game. Would be nice if those were available while in game as I have a memory like a sieve! The C is a good one @Stephanie Doenges I will need to try that when I get something wrong.
How I would Learn Music Production (If I had to Start Over in 2026)
Most producers don’t get stuck because they lack knowledge. They get stuck because nothing gets finished.
Real progress usually shows up after deadlines, comparisons, and exports, not after watching one more video or downloading one more plugin. Finishing tracks sharpens taste, cleans up workflow, and trains the ear faster than endless tweaking ever will.
A strong learning loop is simple: reference → create → compare → adjust → export.
That loop works because it trains listening in context, inside real music, with real decisions.
If there’s one practical takeaway: Pick one reference track you love, rebuild its structure quickly, then write one original track using the same energy map. Export both and listen away from the screen.
I beat the first level of EQ Cheetah!! When I first started eleven days ago I felt like it was impossible and too demanding as an exercise I feel so accomplished now sorry for the post
I have dabbled with SoundGym for a couple of years now and finally bit the bullet and got the paid version. So far I LOVE it, and I really enjoy all of the different exercises. I have made made solid progress on most of the games but I am STRUGGLING with almost any game involving EQ. Any suggestions for an impatient student? I probably am just being impatient about progress and trusting the process. It's tough when you want to be good at something quickly but it takes time.
People have a lot of tips and tricks for things but, in my experience at least, the only thing you can do is keep trying. It's frustrating because for weeks or even months it may feel like you are standing still but you're not.
Put in the reps - every day. Try your best. Results will come.
