Okay, I think it's the time. I'm doing my exercises every day for four months and now i can say that the people, who say smth good about this platform (ToneGym is included as well) just don't spend enough time here to understand, that this is the pure crap. Firstly, i thought I'm just complaining, but now i know that this is a systematic fault of the developers, who don't care about the functional.

1) What is going on with the hitbox of the cursors? I can point at the correct frequency, the exercises show that the frequency is in the correct diapason, but I'm still wrong. FIX THE DAMN HITBOXES

2) Something is defenitely wrong with most sounds. In ToneGym the only normally recorded instrument is the piano. Here, the problems with the audio are faced almost in every exercises, especially i hate the moments when you start to understand the answers not because you hear the distortion, but because you start to hear the sound problems and thus identify where is the correct answer

3) WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE PERCENTAGE? How do you calculate it? I make 80-90% of accuracy and it shows me only %30. I'm not sure that you are familiar with the concept of the percents. I was collecting the screenshots for a week, Attach it here

There are a lot of minor mistakes on the platform that can be related to the browser you use, that's why I'm not gonna speak of them, but the ones I listed can be corrected if you start doing smth with the platform

Thank you

Did a ToneGym workout but not enough energy to do SoundGym. I'll try again tomorrow. Miss everybody.

This is very real. SoundGym takes a different focus for me.

yeah, since I'm on two platforms I started to skip some days here :(
Hello there! Mr. Question here, with another question as always.

How do you practice the exercises presented on SoundGym outside of the platform? Do you set up specific exercises inside your DAW, or do you practice mentally by listening to sounds in your environment?

For example, I try to guess the volume decrease when I put in my earplugs before sleep, or identify the frequency range of specific noises, like a stove making noise, a kettle boiling water, or thumping from a nearby construction site.

Do you create templates in your DAW to train your ears for any sound input?

I'm curious to know how you guys extend the practice into the real world.

i try to recognize beeps in my surrounding and find the hrz freqency that fits wit it, for example the parking beeb of my girlfriends car is 1270 hertz. i have an sine generator app on my phone so i can not mesure it but need to find it myself. in the daw i find the eq trainings have the most value, i can find resonant spots ez or when making neuro basses know what kind of freqenties to boost or cut. and even the panning thing with panning drums or so but its more of a practice when doing so. and i just like to listen to diffrent compressor settings on drums since i started knowing the subtlile changes

I do listen to the reverbs created by different environments, and sometimes take estimates of long the reverb tails are. And as a practical use of some of the games, when recording different ensembles, I'll not only listen for the reverbs, but also the stereo images and how they collapse with distance from the ensemble - helps with the mic placement for the kinds of images I'm trying to record.

reverb tails are definitely interesting to observe, for example in empty rooms or between buildings there's some kind of slap back delay.
Also I pay attention to the frequency spectrum when someone talks to me directly or talks in another direction, I hear that there is a decrease in high frequencies.
Also, when I hear loud music from a car, with closed doors I try to detect what spectrum of this sound is, it's kind of low, low-mid spectrum, but with some mid frequencies because they leak the cabin
