Hello there! Mr. Question here, with another question as always.
How do you practice the exercises presented on SoundGym outside of the platform? Do you set up specific exercises inside your DAW, or do you practice mentally by listening to sounds in your environment?
For example, I try to guess the volume decrease when I put in my earplugs before sleep, or identify the frequency range of specific noises, like a stove making noise, a kettle boiling water, or thumping from a nearby construction site.
Do you create templates in your DAW to train your ears for any sound input?
I'm curious to know how you guys extend the practice into the real world.
Hi, guys! How does the SPI work? I check it daily to track my progress, but does it make sense? Because I just found that there is a couple of games that I merely passed level 1 but better than over 50% users? How many levels in total for each games in general? I saw users have millions points of SPI, could people please kindly share how long it takes to get a Diamond Badge starting from zero? Thanks!
Here is 'How is SPI calculated?' from the 'Help Centre – Training': 'Sound Performance Index (SPI) is a ranking calculated from all your audio game scores (Beat games are not calculated). SPI helps you compare your strengths and weaknesses across games that challenge different listening skills. We calculate the SPI by the 3 top scores in each game. The high-score provides you x3 points, the second score x2, and the third x1. As you pass levels you will get more points for a correct answer and your, resulting with higher game scores and higher SPI.'
Some games you can climb pretty fast in percentages. It just means that most people never passed a level on that game. I imagine EQ cheetah and some of the more subtle games like Dr. Compressor have a low completion rate for beginners. You will be up to 95-99 percentile by level 20 on most games. The higher the level you are playing at, the SPI rewarded will be exponentially higher, especially after level 15 or so. If you don’t have any games leveled up that high yet, your overall SPI will likely be low.
