Is anyone else experiencing this...my daily workouts are resetting when finishing the last game for the day, and not registering a completed workout. Its not a huge deal, but curious if there may be a system bug. its happened a few times.

I have an opposite problem. When I finish my daily workout, and leave the Soundgym tab open overnight after putting my PC to sleep, when I wake it up the next day and refresh the page, I'm unable to do my daily workout because it says I've already completed it.

The Reason Every Plugin Sounds Better When You Turn It On
Turn on a compressor and it instantly sounds better, right? Not quite. It's just louder. That extra dB of makeup gain is tricking your brain into thinking the processing did something magic.

New on the blog: why loudness bias fools even experienced ears, and the one habit (gain-matching) that takes it off the table for good. 🎚️

Hi, guys. I have a question. How do I train my ears to distinguish Delay Control values under 100 ms? Do you have any tips? Is it actually important to be able to hear such small differences, or am I worrying about it too much?

It's a bit of a mental shift. Over 100-150ms you're listening for delay - it's the same skill that lets you identify a tempo. You're trying to listen for the gaps between sounds.

Once you get below that range, you're no longer listening for a delay, you're listening for thickness or width or whatever you identify it as. It's more like an audible biggening than anything, it's hard to describe.

Above that range you can get by without using the on/off switch. At that range (at least in the beginning) it gets super hard to tell without toggling the button. The game at those ranges stops leaning toward being Metronomer and starts leaning toward being Stereohead.

@Jay Kay that's such a good explanation; as I've gotten into music theory and tried to learn subdivisions, I've noticed that delay is typically dialed in specific ways, e.g., Neil Young on his solos seems to like the strum/pick plus delays to equal 3 over 2 beats, and other folks may be doing any number of repeats per beat. The question is, do many musicians actually know they're doing this, or is it mostly by feel? I'm guessing it's mostly by feel, especially live, but I imagine producers are more likely to be exacting. But like you said, it's so interesting how perceptually, the countable nature of the repeats disappears as the time shortens, and instead you're left with that thickness or width, and how you determine what you want is based on feel.
Uhhhhh.... are people actually hearing a 9k cut difference in a solo'd bass drum? Cause that seems a bit like audibly identifying the wind blowing through 2 different types of grass.... come on now. Even at diamond, this feels silly.

Everyone getting above 10 points on this is a full blown wizard.

Hey tribe !

I have around 1600 SoundCoins. Any advice on how to use them ?
profile
@Gaspar Acevedo you can find them through the link that @Romano G shared, and also under 'Contests' as can be seen in the picture I provide. EQ Training has weekly contests in the style of EQ Mirror, and Olympics has three contests (panning, cut, boost) that rotate every 3-4 days. It's fun!

@Steve Rinaldi What aspects of the artist soundtracks and drum kits you purchased with Soundcoin did you find useful?
I also have some Soundcoin lying around that I'm thinking of trying it out.
