Respectful request

Dear Soundgym

I have been studying with you for several years and I thank you for everything you have allowed me to learn. However, I think there is something you have been stuck on and it is vitally important for those of us who are interested in producing music, and that is COMPRESSOR exercises.
I have not been able to understand the dynamics of any exercise, the sounds are uncomfortable and so far I think I have not learned enough compared to the other exercises.

Please, it's time to improve that
🙏

lol. I told my wife to ask the mechanic to check the blinker fluid.... and she did. Then went on public radio to relay the story under, most embarrassing moments. She got me back, but I don't tell that story.

Hey guys! Does anyone have any tips for Dr. Compressor??? I can't get past the 1st level even though on every other game I have completed multiple levels. Any tips on hearing compression better? Thank you!

the compressed sound sounds more ambient (further back) and the transients are less pronounced (further back-i,e not as in your face as the non compressed transients)

Compressed: 1. The snare has a tiny bit more release and saturation 2. You can hear more reverb. I never played with percussions, they suck :D

Listen for a lightly longer tail on the kick drum or the snare (kind of like reverb). This should get you started. Turn your volume up a little bit to hear the tail.

I just reached level 46 at Delay Control and I'm better than 99.9% of users at this game.
Just wondering who's at higher levels? It becomes really really hard at this point!

I have a lot of trouble with the short delays. I do the daily workouts, I do not spend more than an hour on SoundGym if I can help it. I got other things to do. I am going to check out the piano one, I usually use guitars.
