hi guys im having a hard time with stereohead and im stuck at level 8. i know what i need to be listening out for (like hollowness towards 0.75-0.99 and singularity toward 0) but when i first start the game i can never seem to get it right and i can only get it right when i have a reference, like if i know the round before that was 0.4 i could guess 0.6 pretty easily but i wouldnt be able to guess either in isolation. any tips?
I am also stuck every few levels, exactly because of this reason. I started using imager from Izotope on my mixes, and it helped me a lot to get a better feel for it. Now I do it more intuitively instead of on ear and this seemed to work pretty good for now. I am also curious for more tips. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/ozone-imager.html
Hi Rachel! In this exercise it is absolutely vital that your monitoring setup isn't throwing you off as it requires you to hear detailed panning (similar to PanGirl).
For me these types of games are very visual. If you sit with a particular setting for long enough you can soon start too see where the sounds are coming from. That way you can really get specific when choosing what to answer. Of course, the easier ones are the extremes (0 or close to it where it only sounds like 1 sound as they lay on top of each other, 1 or close to it where it literally sounds like each of the two sounds come straight out of each of the left and right monitors).
Everything in between is the real challenge and it can sometime sound like different panning settings are playing at the same time. If this is the case just sit with it for a while and make sure to listen for the sound with the strongest presence over time.
I would also recommend alternating between listening only to the RIGHT sound before switching to listening to both simultaneously only to then switch AGAIN and only listen to the LEFT sound. This way it's much easier getting that picture in your head of where they are situated in the stereo spectrum.
