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!
This is awesome to hear. Gotta admit, I get a bit salty when I wanna join a contest because the leaderboards are the same few names. Good reminder that everyone on that board earned their way and nothing is stopping anyone else from getting there.
Excited to hear what all that work lead to! Congrats!
I made an ambient music for the first time. Can someone listen to it and point my mistakes? I really wanna Improve. If someone have discord let me know... don't have any friends who know Music related things.
