It's a bit of a mental shift. Over 100-150ms you're listening for delay - it's the same skill that lets you identify a tempo. You're trying to listen for the gaps between sounds.

Once you get below that range, you're no longer listening for a delay, you're listening for thickness or width or whatever you identify it as. It's more like an audible biggening than anything, it's hard to describe.

Above that range you can get by without using the on/off switch. At that range (at least in the beginning) it gets super hard to tell without toggling the button. The game at those ranges stops leaning toward being Metronomer and starts leaning toward being Stereohead.

@Jay Kay that's such a good explanation; as I've gotten into music theory and tried to learn subdivisions, I've noticed that delay is typically dialed in specific ways, e.g., Neil Young on his solos seems to like the strum/pick plus delays to equal 3 over 2 beats, and other folks may be doing any number of repeats per beat. The question is, do many musicians actually know they're doing this, or is it mostly by feel? I'm guessing it's mostly by feel, especially live, but I imagine producers are more likely to be exacting. But like you said, it's so interesting how perceptually, the countable nature of the repeats disappears as the time shortens, and instead you're left with that thickness or width, and how you determine what you want is based on feel.

Hi Stephan, your website looks great! To my liking some compression could be applied (no pun intended) to reduce the size of the pictures, headlines and text to make the pages more usable (less scrolling). In mixing and mastering pages I suggest to put all Q&A in the same section. Maybe a services page containing all different service packages and pricing could be handy for customers. Just my five cents. Good luck with your business!

Thank you, Martti. Really appriciate your feedback.

Hey Stephan... First, congrats on your MA !! It's amazing and exciting. Warm hugh from Mexico !

Abou your site, I like the artwork and I like a lot how you describe your approach (human, careful, professional, no corner cutting or AI BS). Great work !

Yet, as constructive feedback, I took a small course on how to build an mix-master web site (which does not make me even close to an expert) and the suggestion was to keep it very direct and simple. People looking for this service mostly know what they want (in theory). In the course they meniton that most people only dedicate a few seconds to a site before they decide if they stay there or leave. The theory is that a visitor should know if the site fills his needs in like 3 secs. Also, 1 page site concept was recommended over multiple page.

Again, I am really far from being a expert. Just trying to put my well intended thoughts to your consideration ;)

If you want to checkout my site as an example of what I learned in that small course, the address is www.palecliff.com

Cheers mate and, the best of lucks !!!

Congrats!

Very nice! ⭐⭐⭐

Well done!

@Gaspar Acevedo you can find them through the link that @Romano G shared, and also under 'Contests' as can be seen in the picture I provide. EQ Training has weekly contests in the style of EQ Mirror, and Olympics has three contests (panning, cut, boost) that rotate every 3-4 days. It's fun!

@Steve Rinaldi What aspects of the artist soundtracks and drum kits you purchased with Soundcoin did you find useful?
I also have some Soundcoin lying around that I'm thinking of trying it out.

That was my choice @Colin Aiken

Thanks a thou @Stelios Mavroyiannis ! I will surely look into it
