Any tips for differentiating in between 75ms and 100ms in Compressionist? The difference between them seems arbitrary. At the level I'm at the exercises seem to fluctuate between super easy and super tough. It would be nice if the exercises within each level were more balanced.
Yeah, sometimes you just get unlucky and get a sample where the transient is not even nearly 75ms long, in that case you're a bit out of luck. There's still usually some difference, but it's a lot harder than when the transient is longer.
Re: Thanks! I understand that in theory, and I can easily hear the difference between 0 and 50 or 0 and 25 even, but I don't hear a difference between 75 and 100.
That's fair. I guess it just comes with time, then. I'm about 2 and a half months into soundgym and I truly can't believe how much my ability to hear compression has come along in that time. Everything has improved but I've noticed my ability to hear attack and ratio on compression specifically has come along a lot faster than my ability to identify, say, high-end EQ ranges or panning. I'd say just keep at it. You know what to listen for, eventually your ears will catch up.
I think for every track is absolutely individual it depends on what the song needs. Preferring one is cool but there will be songs something more quiet, songs straight to the face, songs that are emotional, aggressive, slow, fast, and so on. My philosophy is to make the best of what every song needs to shine.
