Hello guys, I am once again asking for help, this time with DB King :D
With all of the other games, I feel like, even if I'm not beating my best results, I am improving. I can recognize differences in the comp/distortion games easier, even if I don't always choose the right answers. I have a clearer idea of the frequency spectrum and more reliable results, even if I don't pass new levels. Even the delay game seems learnable to me.
But I just don't understand how to judge the dB differences. I've gotten to lvl 17 (or 18 maybe) and I feel like there has been zero improvement, sometimes I just guess it right, sometimes I don't. Of course, there are some things I feel like I've memorized (like, a difference between, let's say, a 10-18 dB range vs a 5-8 dB range). But I can't imagine ever reliably guessing stuff like 2 vs 2.5 dB. Or even at the lower differences something like 16 vs 20 dB. Feels different with each type of sound.
Do you have any tips on improving at this? Thanks, have a great day!
Each round I use the volume knob on my interface to try and set it to a comfortable listening level. I look at the bypass and make sure I'm on the loudest side. Then I do my best to recreate this listening level. Then, After I do my best to recreate that listening level, I hit the button, and the level goes down. I always want it going down. because if i set the level on the quiet side it just gets really loud. Once you start doing this over time you can get a better gauge on it. -5, -10, and -20 are the most important levels to concentrate on. -10 is pretty quite. -20 is Very quite heading towards silence. Once you kinda get a feeling for these you have a basis to judge things in between (-6,-12 for example) It will still take some time. But, by doing this its helped me out a lot. Rock on!
I agree with Marcus. You can't learn this by rote - That's a rational intellective technique - OK for learning history or geography. What you're doing here is developing an intuitive skill. The only way you can do that is by osmosis - Absorbing it by repeating and repeating and repeating. Remember also that the more pain you feel because you're making no progress, and the longer you feel it, the better it is. it means your subconscious mind is constructing a more sophisticated paradigm to deal with the task. Never give up, and someday soon you will discover you are starting to take off.
Long time no see :D I just saw that there is a new music section and I posted the Song „Wake Me Up“ from my little Side-Project „Lockdown Revival“. This is me (Instrumental/Mix/Master) and Tim Noak (Vocals). Since we did this in the covid-19 time he couldn‘t just come over and sing into a good mic. He did the entire vocals for this record with just his iPhone so don‘t be to rough ^^
Hey, Phil! Great to hear from you! Don't tell anybody, but I voted for you without listening. I'll do that tomorrow, too old and tired tonight, I missed you my friend.
