I think if you can spend a little time on training your ears in SoundGym is still beneficial for musician overall. It'll be useful to detect issue when you're recording.
Regardless of the type of musician you are, ear training is never gonna be bad for you.
There may or may not be better ways to spend your time but, personally as a guitar player / songwriter, I desperately wish I had started my ear training journey a decade ago.
Hi I've been playing the stereohead game wearing headphones. I'm fairly new to ear training, are my ears just not trained enough to hear the depth of stereo using headphones? or should I switch to using monitors left and right to get a better ear for this?
Stereohead and Pan Girl are definitely harder on headphones that monitors. Train yourself on both. I started using headphones only and I have yet to beat my scores I set using my monitors.
I've been stuck at stereohead and pan girl for quite a while. I don't have a monitor setup so I can only solely rely on headphones and it''s certainly a challenge for me. But I've seen ppl leveling up using Air Pods!
I mostly use headphones, Sony 7506, Sennheiser HD 400 PRO & more recently Slate VSX
1) Increase the zoom setting in your browser so that the playing area fills to the edges of your screen. I use 150% (per screen shot) for Pan Girl, Stereohead & Sonar Beast. Optimal value for your setup will depend resolution & size, so experiment with different values. This allows me to better visually calibrate what I’m hearing to the pan position.
I'm SO curious... what you find to be the most challenging games?
Also, what do you find easiest?
I know everyone is different and hears things a little differently so I'm kind of expecting answers to vary greatly.
I'm stuck at level 18 on DB King and level 16 on stereo head while at level 56 on Reverb Wizard. I'm not sure why those 2 games are such a struggle for me. My ear for EQ is coming along nicely but detecting changes in volume and hearing where the sound is coming from are difficult for me. (I also struggle with the new Sonar Beast game)
Here's one of my favorite random performance photos. It cracks me up. It's a equally a good photo and it reminds me a soap opera scene, the way Jason, our bass player is glaring at me. I feel like his gaze communicates so much. Like, will you ever practice with a metronome? OR what is it like to skate by without actually getting good at your instrument? bahhahahaha. Just kidding. He would never say those things but I think it's funny.
