What??? Why I'm occupying two places on the ranking?
I was talking with Stelios some weeks ago... When Lio and Sofia K play, it's impossible to reach first place! = P
Feedback Eliminator suggested improvement:
I feel like Feedback Eliminator has amazing potential, but the way that the lessons are set up now are kind of a crapshoot. I’m having difficulty gaining an intuitive sense about exactly which frequencies I’m hearing.

My suggestion is to stay consistent: e.g. start with ONLY 3 bands (e.g. 100Hz, 1000Hz, 10kHz), and quiz you on ONLY these 3 bands. Yes, ridiculously simple, but your ears are getting accustomed to these 3 bands AND ONLY THESE 3 BANDS. Level 2 would be to add a band (e.g. 315Hz) but ONLY quiz you on these 4 bands. Level 3 add another (e.g 3.15kHz), etc. progressively adding intermediary (or upper/lower) frequencies. After, say, every 3 newly added bands, the next level or two will quiz you on ONLY the newest/added frequencies, but give you the option to choose any of the learned frequencies. For each level after maybe 6 added bands then limit the choices to a subset of the learned bands (kind of like now), then slowly add more choices within the “learned” bands (again, similar to how it is) before adding another band. Continue this process through all 31 bands (and/or allow the user to limit the extremes based on playback equipment limitations - i.e. headphones that can’t produce frequencies below 40Hz or above 16kHz). I strongly believe this will tune your ear faster than randomly selecting ANY of the 31 bands as it’s set up now. Thoughts?

I found a great free app for training frequencies, it comes standard with pink noise, but you can import your own songs, and it does what you are requesting: https://earquiz.org/EQ_Frequencies/

I find dB king to be one of the hardest games to level up on...and I might be wrong, but I have a suspicion that the reason is at least partially physiological: as my ears develop, when I hear a relevant frequency, whether it's EQing, feedback eliminator or whatever, or a 20ms delay, I recognise what this sounds like in absolute terms.....whereas as I become more attune to subtle changes in amplitude, it feels like I keep getting the wrong answer because, for instance, a 2dB attenuation now sounds like what a 3dB attenuation did a week ago, because I'm more sensitive...

...can a pro tell me is this accurate, or am I off the mark here?

Very cool!
Hi everyone. Does anyone have any insight on the type of distortion used in “Distorted Reality”? It almost sounds like there’s more than one kind being applied. Sometimes it feels like the distortion brightens things up, other times it darkens and flattens the highs. And at other times, it seems focused on the upper-mid range… If anyone with more experience knows something about this, could you please share? Thanks!

I got that feeling too, sometimes low end distortion, sometimes it's in the highs, but I'm not totally sure since the sounds are not always the same. But I guess it makes sense, distortion is degradation of some kind, right? Not necessarily a specific saturation effect?
