Congrats @Benjamin Köhn for winning the Golden Ears Award!
OK, I had some time in the morning today and decided to play Boost Champ. I've spent more than 400 soundcoins and managed only one game with 0 losses - it was not even my top game! I can't seem to keep such focused attention for 1 minute (a voice in my head calmly repeats: ADD). Am I the only one with that bad ratio of soundcoins to lossless games?

Yeah, sometimes I wish it was only 30sec instead of a 60. The last 15sec usually the worst for errors.

Generally limit myself to 10 ~ 20mins (if at all) per day for boost & cut contests. Once I get a good n' fast error free run, then I usually called it done!

So, 71 and done for me on this round.

As Cindy rightly says, every round—whether you make mistakes or not—counts as part of the practice and really helps you improve... I’ve even spent over 700 coins in a single game at times 😬...

Beyond the competition (with yourself and others), managing tension/relaxation and reflexes is the most complex part of this game; in my case, it’s been really hard to get good scores while staying calm...

Perhaps because of all these difficulties, the game becomes very challenging and addictive... but the most important thing, in my opinion, is to remember that it’s just a game, and even though it’s fun and helps improve auditory recognition, it doesn’t always reflect your level in the real world.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

@Romano G ok, so I'm not alone :) Usually, I limit myself to a 'good n' fast error free run' and then call it a day. The problem is, that run comes too late most of the times. I probably have to time-limit myself, irrespective of result. 71 is amazing!

@Beto Ojeda of course, 400 coins are not 400 full rounds, but 99 refreshes (+1 completion) :P I get the point though. I agree with your assesment on tension/relaxation. When I'm too relaxed I can make an error-free game but it won't be fast. When I'm too tense my mouse goes all over the place and I can't make an error-free game. Most definitely this does not translate in the real world, as long as I can actually tell the frequency if I'm not being chased. Nevertheless, since speed was never my thing, I actually see some improvement in my reflexes.

Hello everyone,
a few months ago, I had these four singers in my little studio.

Barbershop music is rather rare on Soundgym and probably not everyone's cup of tea. But I have to say it was wonderful to have these four amazing singers in the studio, and it was a lot of fun. I recorded, mixed and mastered this Triple Track Preview.
Maybe some of you will like it too.

@Cindy Preta That's true, although I admit that I did bring out the bass a bit more in the mix.
