Hey everyone, I'm on level 5 of the Reverb Wizard, and it's getting tough to distinguish between the 3 sounds. Sometimes it feels like absolutely none of them even have any reverb at all. Any tips on how to get past this? Appreciate it!
Listen to the first loop a few times, and give your brain a chance to adjust and get a feel of what you’re hearing. Then switch back and forth between 1 and 2. If you don’t notice a difference go back to 1 and readjust to it. Then switch 1 to 3. Any difference? If not switch back ad forth between two at a time. If you switch back and forth without it jacking with your ears they are most likely the same. Then you can double check by going to the one you think sounds different, and flip it back n forth to listen for differences. But, it’s not easy. Some will be more obvious than others. And it Only gets more difficult. But it doesn’t seem “as hard” once you kind of develop your own way of approaching it. Keep at it I know how frustrating some of these games are. But, even the hardest games you Will get better at. Trust yourself, and cut yourself some slack. It’s not just easy. Not for me anyway Lol. Hope out of all this Some part of it was helpful. 🤘

Anyone else not getting their new ear badge. I've been above 50,000 SPI for a few days now, but haven't gotten my Silver Ears Award. Just wondered if anyone else is having this problem, or if they changed the cutoffs.
Peak Master- Good for hearing what certain EQ sound like when boosted Kit Cut- Good for hearing what a lack of certain EQ bands sounds like Compressionist- Good for hearing attack and release settings and how it affects the audio Distorted Reality- Good for mastering so you can hear if you're clipping your signal or not. Also good for recognizing saturation EQ Mirror- Perfect for mixing with references. Being able to recognize the sonic spectrum and knowing what moves to make to match it is crucial for efficient workflow and avoids a lot of guesswork
Hi Jon, the only issue with the idea of focusing on 5 games and trying to master those first and move on is that this skill isn't quite the same as a video game. Sure these are games made to make the task of training your ears easier and more enjoyable, but if you get a game to a certain level you're not done with it. You might come back to it less, but its not completed. That being said, as long as you're still doing the traditional daily training it won't hurt to take a few of the games you're not doing so hot in and practice those a little extra. then as you get better with those identify some others you could grow in and focus on those for a bit. I would recommend against throwing yourself exclusively into a small amount of games for a large period of time though.
Hi, Jon, a follow-on thought for you. Under your Account Settings/Training Preferences, turn on Smart Training. For me, it's done a good job of focusing the daily on my weaker areas. Sometimes it gets frustrating, but it's all about practice and consistency. Hope this helps and good luck!
