I have so much to learn. I literally had no idea what I was doing in the HZ game. Are there like educational videos or is this site just games for people who already have a level of knowledge. I am brand new to audio engineering.
Hi, welcome to Sound Gym! If you are looking for some video courses on concepts like mixing, recording, sound design, ect... check out the learn tab at the top of the page. If you have any questions about the games or any concepts, feel free to ask in the forums. The community here is very friendly.
Have you tried using different kits? Some of the drum machines have very similar sounding toms or snare and clap or other things. Usually, when I get stuck it's because 2 similar sounds are playing at the same time and one of them is getting drown out by the other.
I often get stuck at a certain level too. It's tough when you keep getting it wrong for days on end. I also try not to get too fixated on Sound Gym and limit myself to two or three challenges a day.
Even if you think you're doing it correctly, you might find yourself deviating from the reference in unexpected ways. So, when you're getting it wrong repeatedly, how about trying to judge by looking at the sequence light at the top and the timing of when you hear the sound?
As Mr. Jay Key said, changing drum kits makes it easier to distinguish the sounds and helps you understand the character of the kit, so I highly recommend it.
