Hello guys!

I would love to hear some honest feedback from experienced ears!

The track im sharing is Amor Hipnotico. A tech house track with vocals I recorded. I’ve been making music for about 3 years, took a year off in between, and now I’m fully back and dialed in. This track means a lot to me and I’m trying to really sharpen my sound.

Any thoughts you have, good or bad, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time 🙏

What was the moment that made you realize you needed to do ear training?

For me i had just gotten fed up with tips and tricks videos and knew i needed to do things by the book to really move forward.

When I started DJ'ing and playing my songs next to everyone else's tracks. Mine just didn't sound good in comparison, so I started taking mixing classes online and eventually found Soundgym.

When I took a Critical Listening class in college and was completely unable to identify frequencies.

I did pitch, interval and chord quality ear training since I was 18 and I was always pretty fast grabbing the right fader to turn down the feedback, or getting my own stuff to sound okay. It was when I started talking to others without the board in front of me. I could tell a guitarist, that's a major 7 sharp 11 so I figured I should be able to tell a soundperson That's 2K! or I need you to boost 250 a couple dB, no more than that…

What do Virtual Studio Instruments from the coinshop do?

From what I understand they just decorate your ''virtual studio'' in you profile.
