Amazing achievement! Congrats! (This exercise is not my strong suit...) - Curious: Do you like to use a particular song/sound for this exercise?

Thanks everyone, and Mux I don't have one in particular that I like to use but usually I favor more rock/metal genres for the EQ games because they have more sonic information to go off of, thus making them a little easier

Fantastic!

Go Jojo!

Got those money ears now 😀

Yeah, that's a reasonable heuristic. That's interesting that your initial impression of compression was to make it cleaner. I kind of overlooked what compression could do for a long time, and when I finally did start uncorking it, it was because I felt it had the capacity to make things messy and chaotic. There's a lot of nuance in this world!

@Matt R Thats the idea. Compression to make a more compressed (tighter) and thus a cleaner sound. But it aint, and I still dont't get it. But hé, if it gives a correct answer eacht time. Every disadvantage has its advantage (Johan Cruyff)

Depends on the comp, most of the famous ones distort the source with saturation, only VCAs offer a clean reduction in dynamic range only

I checked out Andreas' music on Spotify. His songs truly are ear candy. Even if you don't love the genre, the songs are all produced, mixed and mastered with such high level of precision and passion that I recommend having at least one of his tracks on a reference playlist!
