Same thought! Was doing music production half-assedly for years and could never figure out why I couldn't make anything, after a week of this the answer was obvious, I couldn't hear shit
I'll say this, having good fundamental frequency recognition skills has drastically improved my mixing and mastering abilities. Your ears become more sensitive to subtle changes and the amount of detail you can hear just keeps getting better and better
A high/low shelf filter is going to affect everything above or below where the frequency mark is where as a peak filter only affects the area around the frequency mark based on how wide the Q is. A common example is this: You have two options, a low shelf filter and peaking filter both at 300 hz cutting 2 dB. The shelf filter is going to affect everything below 300hz so you can expect to hear less bass and kick drum. The peak filter will only affect the area around 300hz so you can expect the kick and bass to not be affected. Let me know if this helped or if you'd like me to explain it more
I seem to be failing particularly hard on the Stereohead game😅. Does anybody have any pointers what I could try listening for in order to tell the stereo field width?
I seem to be all right at intermediate ones, but when I hear something that's almost mono or really widely spaced I sometimes seem to think it's the reverse! I'm hoping that while these both make a strong impression of some kind, I'll learn to differentiate one from the other.
Anyway you're not alone, this is my worst one so far apart from the EQ Cheetah (which I'm slow at because I need to listen and think a while before answering)
