I do not understand how to hear compression. Played the same game 10 times and my score didn't even improve. Does anyone have a link to a video explanation or just some sort of descriptor of what I am supposed to be listening for?

Anyone else feel like distorted reality is almost impossible with some soundpacks but super easy with others? Does that have to do with the volume differences between the packs? Or are some iterations of the same level just a lot more challenging?

If it clips very hard, it's obvious distorted; if it clips very tiny, it could be treated as a kind of 'compression'.

if you can easily pick it's distorted reality, if you can't it's 'compression reality'.

My struggle is that sometimes there is a substantial difference in volume making it very difficult to make an objective decision.
