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?
I would try them both. I feel like the game is helping me be more sensitive to stereo separation while wearing headphones as well as monitors. And (for me, anyway) my sensitivity is different with each.
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 think you might be more interested in tonegym! I do believe sound gym is great especially for mix engineers and those who want to learn more about that aspect of music and sound however based on you saying you;re a pianist, i think tone gym (very similar to sound gym) might be what you're looking for!
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.
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.
Sort of an impossible question to answer because it's gonna be different for everyone in every game.
For example, I'm at lvl 25 in EQ Mirror and if my goal was to level up again, I'm confident I could relatively easily. However, I'm lvl 9 in Stereohead and it feels impossible for me to ever level up again.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, don't worry about where other people are or how fast they move. Worry about where YOU are and what YOU can do to improve.
You are totally right, no doubt. I was wondering because I used to level up easily and got to 200k SPI fairly easily… but now I seem to stall as I only make 10k per day or so. Still it’s interesting to know what challenges others have ☺️
Hi guys! I am new to SoundGym and I don't know anything about it. I also just started ToneGym a few days ago. i am a pianist and I don't know anything about this.
