Hi guys, I am exploring headphones to train my ears in SoundGym. Currently, I am using Audio Technica ATH-M20x. May I know your headphone model? And based on your opinion, are studio headphones good for ear training? Thank for your feedback!😊
I use the beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro which are great. Though I have never used anything else so nothing to compare with. Having said this these are great headphones. One caveat, no matter how great these are, and I would imagine this is the same for most headphones, especially if you don’t have a proper studio setup, my mixing/producing improved dramatically not only with soundgym but with one vitally important addition, especially if you are mainly working from headphones. That is SoundID Reference from Sonarworks. Currently black Friday sale 50% off; couldn’t recommend it enough, worth every penny. Cheers!
Next big purchase is definitely going to be X1 by Ollo. But for now, I'm using Beyerdynanic DT 770 Pro running through dSoniq plugin for a flatter response. I've liked working all headphones (Audio Technica M50x and even Apple airpods Pro 2nd Gen!) the the dSoniq plugin versus Waves and others--at least I've been more successful with it. Hope that helps. Good luck man!
I'm using a calibrated Sennheiser HD 650, with the SoundID calibration file for this specific pair of headphones. I really like them, and the calibration is very evident when turned on/off. The calibration makes a big difference. I've not tried the X1s, but I've heard very good things about them. I imagine the calibration files with the X1s make a very big difference, as well.
Just curious, those of you working full-time mixing/producing/writing, what advice would you give to someone doing this still as a hobby but with small wins like a sync album cut and a couple of self-releases online? - I've been out of the game a little since last year and now live in a new area, looking to double down on the production and pick up some jobs or publishing deals, but at a loss where to start.
Wow. Why should I want to unlock stuff I can’t even try first? Such a bad initial experience! I can’t try the game I am interested in and the initial games are clunky. I made a big mistake creating a damn account here. I’m sure I’ll get all kinds of marketing shit just for the sin of being mildly interested in your distorted reality training.
What is wrong with software people? They can’t be bothered to actually tell or show you how their stuff works without harvesting an email address.
I have started doing workout 6 days ago. However, I am still in Level 1 in Peak Master. I am in Level 4 in DB king and Pangirl. Its really frustrating for me. How can I improve in peak master? any advice?
It just takes time to hone your ear. Play the other EQ games too. They all fit together and some are harder than others. EQ Cheetah has helped me a lot. Just keep going and be patient while yours ears and eyes match up. It takes steady but persistent training. I have been playing daily for 6 months (I'm an experienced sound tech) and I am only at level 18.
I've found from experience that it's normal to get higher levels in some games than others. I'm much better at DB king than Pangirl.
There are several youtube videos out there that will help to teach you how to recognize certain frequencies. Once you're experienced enough, you start to be able to hear the various hiss frequencies that can give you clues. But it's very challenging starting out.

hello everyone, i have a huge problem that i cant get rid of it when i mix my music i always end up with having too much 250 and 500hz, usually coming from guitars and vocals, so my question is how do i know when some frequency is too much and when its enough, i do ab reference but i only realize when i put it on ozone in my mastering session
You can either mix into the limiter to get it to a mastered level so you hear how things are going to sound when mastered, or if you don't want to go whole hog you can periodically check by putting a limiter on and listening in that range. You are likely doing this but make sure that when you are referencing your mix and the reference are gain matched - probably want to do that into the limiter too as most tracks are quite loud.
Use a reference mix - and of course nail the midrange (check on something like avatone mix cubes) then you can also Isolate a frequency band and check against a commercial reference. Also check the meters for that frequency range. It may sound thin. Also - make sure you are doing EQ carving to unmask your fundamentals etc.
