Any advice regarding how to hear the difference in delay times below 40 ms ? I use phase cancelation in the low end as an indicator, but it doesn't seems to be reliable all the time (especilally when there's not much or not a all bass freq in the sound)
Like for example, I just had a choice between 3 vs 7 ms.
I am on level 27 of Dr. Compressor and am finding it trick to tell which is more compressed - the indicators I was using (like things sounding further, or ambiance getting lounder, or even consistency of the part) are frequently not there. Any suggestions as to what I should be listening for?
I’m at the same level, and for me the main issue is identifying the compressor’s attack time. With a fast attack, even if the difference is small, it’s relatively easy to tell which sound is more compressed. With a slower attack, though, I still struggle a lot, it almost feels like the compressor behaves more like an expander, giving the impression of a less compressed sound, even though that’s not actually the case. That’s where my main difficulty is.
I am WAY behind level 27 and identifying compression is one of the tougher exercises for me. But I'm finding one cue that often works for me, at least with the drums, which is that the pitch in the compressed version seems just a shade under the uncompressed version.
The description of the game says 'Listen to two sounds - one is more compressed than the other, with very short attack and release for easier detection. Can you identify it?'. I used to try to hear for more pronounced ambience and room sound but now this feels tricky to me. I'm nearing level 100 and most of the time I rely on transient differences, which is what the description implies we should do. If I pay close attention to the transient of the less compressed version, it is more pronounced, snappier. Conversly, the transient of the more compressed version is smoother, more sanded (to use a woodworking analogy). I mainly focus on the kick, and secondarily on the snare. Sometimes it comes easily, sometimes not, but if I have the patience I usually pass the level.
Hey there! I was surprised to see so many good reactions to my song Warrior Tonight form EP Tomorrow (2025). Thank you so so much! I'm so happy. I suppose my song will sound good in this playlist. Have a nice day!
Your Ears Are Literally Reshaping Your Brain Right Now
Hard truth: better mixes usually start with better perception, not better gear. This article makes a strong case that focused training can reshape the brain systems behind attention, memory, and pattern recognition.
So here’s the debate: Team A trusts fast instinct, Team B trusts repeated drills.
Which one actually improved your mixes more? Share one moment where ear training changed a decision in a real session.
Hi everyone, this is the latest musical piece I have been working on. The genre is best described as film music I think. This is the first time that I've tried to make a binaural mix using fiedler audio's dolby atmos composer. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks so much for listening!
It’s my first day back in over a year. Trying to do a workout on my IPad Pro, and during the games, it will stop working. It’s like the touchscreen no longer works mid game. It might be fine for the first question, then suddenly I can’t change the curves or frequency- even trying to type in a value with the keyboard only captures the 0’s but no numbers. It will allow some factors like bypass or turning the EQ on and off, but I can’t manipulate anything. I get frustrated and just hit confirm and of course, then I die. LOL. Is this an Apple issue or a “‘me” issue?
I also struggled on my phone (Android), sadly the web app version seems to be the only reliable one. If that's really anoying, you can try activating the laptop mode of your web browser on your iPad, it might solve some issues, but for me it didn't solved everything
