Hi David Sl :) I agree with all the advice Dottor MojoTrip wrote to you. I would just add a little sound design with parallel reverb. I'm sure that if you fix it as suggested, your track will benefit greatly!
@Doctor MojoTrip Excellent guidelines, not just for this track, but for my further work in general! Appreciate your in depth review, just the kind I was hoping for... Respect!
@Meet Coo thanx man :)
@Vittorio Di Rocco thanx for your comment and suggestion. Will try that...
@Rockey Anderson Glad to read that :) Thank you for suggestion...
Hi everyone. I hope you are all doing good. Today I celebrate one year of workouts, which is almost the same as one year on SoundGym. According to my wallet, I did my first workout on the 20th of August 2024 and did another 8 workouts from then since October of the same year. Then, on the 5th of April 2025 I bought the Pro version and haven’t stopped since (only one day I accidentally skipped the workout, but I did play some games).
My first proper contact with EQ and compression was at the same time, through the free long courses on the topics by Mastering.com. Even though I was recording music prior to that, I never released anything, never mixed or mastered, never really used EQ and compression(!).
Now, one SoundGym year later, I find myself with 14 million SPI; a percentile of 100%, consisting of above 99% on all 18 games (3 of them 100%); a percentile of 100% on BeatRace, holding the 10th position on its top legends; 48 medals of which 22 are gold; a gold medal on all but one of the last 12-16 weeks on EQ Ace (can’t remember the exact number). Lastly and most importantly, I find myself approaching my first release ever.
It’s fair to say that I’ve grown a lot in this time, to a point I never believed was possible. I remember my first days on SoundGym, seeing great scores on the Olympics, the EQ Ace, high SPIs, and thinking: ‘no way I can go even in the vicinity of such level, let alone reach it’. I really did go from Zero to Hero, as they say, or, as Greek mythology has it, from Nobody (Οὔτις) to Odysseus (Ὀδυσσεύς).
I want to say a big thank you to everyone in this community with whom I’ve interacted, and from whom I got support, whether musical or psychological. Cheers to this great community, cheers to what’s to come!
It makes me happy to know that many of you found it inspiring, because that’s exactly what I wanted to transmit: namely that if I did it, anyone can. @Klaudia Minarovič and @Clément RUIZ, yes, I’ve surprised myself for doing this in such a short time! I’ll make sure to share a release when it’s ready (don’t expect too much since it’s going to be the first).
@J K I know exactly that feeling and that is precisely what I felt at the beginning (and still feel on the Olympics). Always keep in mind what you’ve said, and also that first and foremost you compete with yourself, or if you allow me a pun, yesterself. That’s what I was doing in the beginning – not paying too much attention on who’s in what position.
@Paddy Keil I hope Zeus does not get angry about this and strike me with lightning for Hubris!
@Claudio Viquez persistence (and some obsession, I want to avoid saying) is key. As you can see from the graph, approximately between August and December I was doing regular use, somewhere between 15 and 30 mins. At the beginning and after December it would be more, maybe even 2 hours some times (not continuously). The general tip I can give is that attention is everything. The thing is to learn towards what you need to be paying attention for each game, and the sneaky thing about this is that as you progress you may need to change the anchor of your attention.
@Beat Wettstein, that’s a good question. It was not really increasing the time I spend on it, which I did. It was rather passing a threshold where I’ve realized that on some games I can win indefinitely, and this motivated me to play more. The key that unlocked the door to me was what I said to J K above about attention.
@Meet Coo thank you my friend! That’s where I’m heading now!
@Romano G, is this information to be disclosed? Haha. That would be EQ Mirror, unsurprisingly, Reverb Wizard and Sonar Beast. I’m also above 99.9 on another two, so let’s see.
I know I’ve written a large text, but I wanted to take the time to reply to some of you. You can always DM me for some in depth thoughts on anything you want. 😊
