Depende un poco de con que sonidos estés practicando, lo mas fácil para empezar (al menos para mi) fue las canciones. Empieza por fijarte cuando aumentan los agudos y cuando los graves. Esto lo aprenderás rápido, cuando vayas acertando con el tiempo empezarás a poder acercarte mas a la frecuencia correcta. Es cuestión de practica como todo. No desesperes ;)

Holaa! suelo usar los de kick n bass porque cuando produzco en daws es lo que mas me cuesta, y al final me cuesta en todos lados jajajaja

There is practice mode in the lower right corner. You can start by learning how a boost at different frequency ranges sounds like.

Hi Jen! Yeah, I saw the practice mode but it's not available on free soundgym and I can't afford the PRO :c I'll try with random samples and fab filter or some equalizer. Thanks for the advice♥

For those of us without perfect pitch, there are many good resources I found where people describe the texture that certain ranges evoke.
I visualise 1K-1.5K as nasal - 8K upwards as like fine sandpaper, 300Hz as "boxy" etc. - once your brain starts to make the connections, you'll find it rapidly becomes something you can access.

I'm by far not a pro in this, but I was able to get better in this game over time, and I can second Patrick's advice. In my first games I made notes about my associations about that frequency range. "Boxy", "canny", "bright", "old radio", "full bodied", etc....
My second tip would be from the game perspective, is that once you hit (or miss) a specific range, try to keep that frequency feel in your memory and try to compare the next one to this. Is it higher or lower? (just by that you increase your chances hitting the right frequency) Br how much? A lot or little.
From a certain point you will be able to identify the boosted range without even comparing to the original. Im not there but my next goal is exactly this, accross all instruments and samples.

Naomi, te diría que simplemente sigas practicando. Al principio me costaba y no le embocaba NUNCA, hasta que finalmente mi cerebro hizo click y empece a poder identificar las frecuencias. Al principio te diría que te conformes con acertar si son frecuencias bajas, medias o aguadas (por mas que le erres en el ejercicio), y la precisión va llegando con la repetición.

@Nico Batalla : no sé qué son, pero resultan evocadoras esas "frecuencias aguadas"...😉😄
