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!
I know that when I started I had precisely the wrong intuition about compression. What I was missing was that the attack time is short in these example so higher compression makes the sound kind of mushier and more reverberant. This confused me because I was used to using compression with a longer attack time which makes the sound punchier. This meant that until I took this into account I tended to get things precisely the wrong way round.
in this exercise, the compressor applied has a fast attack, so a tip is to choose the sound that is smoother. Pay attention to louder elements in the mix (kick drum, loud tom) as these are the ones triggering the compressor, then check which one is less aggressive - the smoother one is the compressed one.
I am doing pretty well with soundgym overall. Getting better consistently in most areas. However, stereo image appears to be a total blind spot for me. I simply can't hear it and often get it completely wrong. Like I genuinely have no inkling and am simply guessing. And I have not improved in this regard at all. In other areas my hearing seems quite sophisticated though (silver ears, 85% percentile overall).
Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? And, since others have asked - yes I am using headphones.
i struggled a long time with this too. Until i switched back to monitors. I got the tip here to close my eyes and try to imagine the head/guitar/sound source to the left or the right of the center. Once i did these things, i increased in lvl in no time.
Hi guys and girls. I have a very naive and stupid question. After uploading a song to soundcloud I received a follower obviously a bot and several invitations most probably by bots making compliments an then asking me to click the link... Any way to get rid of that? Report or what do you do about that? Ignore?
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.
