lol. I told my wife to ask the mechanic to check the blinker fluid.... and she did. Then went on public radio to relay the story under, most embarrassing moments. She got me back, but I don't tell that story.

That's me

I feel compressed

i feel your. attack is a little longer than neccessary

Now why would anyone get annoyed with compression?
Your not alone my friend. It is the hardest thing to teach to hear because it is not intuitive to say the least.
So many greats have put videos out on hearing compression and each one expresses patience to hear. I have heard many say it is the last thing they got. I too get frustrated with it, but I don't think it is the creator's fault. If it is, I want to know what about it is not to par? which game is lacking and why?

Yeah, I'm struggling with those, too. I feel I'm not really learning anything. Yes, I have watched the video, but it wasn't as helpful as I hoped. What I understood is that depending on settings, compression does wildly different things to a signal.
Especially the which sound has more compression is super hard. Often both examples sound shitty and I usually pick the one that sounds worse, but that only works like 50% of the time. :-D
Honestly, I'm not even sure what more compression means. From what I understand, more could be a higher ratio or a faster attack or a slower release, right?

unfortunately, people have made similar suggestions several years ago, but nothing seem to be changed

Hi Richard and everybody!

Thank you for your valuable feedback and for sharing your experiences with our compressor exercises. We're always looking for ways to enhance our training modules and appreciate your insights.

The goal of our games, including those focusing on compression, is primarily to train and fine-tune your listening skills rather than to teach the theoretical aspects of sound dynamics. That said, understanding the subtle nuances of compression through these exercises can be challenging but very rewarding.

Here’s a tip on how to discern more and less compressed sounds: A more compressed track will generally sound flatter or less dynamic, as compression reduces the volume of loud sounds and brings up quieter sounds closer to an average level, making the overall sound more consistent. Less compressed sounds will exhibit more dynamic range, with more noticeable peaks and valleys.

We recommend using critical listening and focusing on the attack and release of the sounds to better identify the characteristics of compression in each exercise. Over time, your ear will become more attuned to these subtle differences, enhancing your production skills.

We are continuously working to improve our exercises and ensure they provide the most educational and practical experience possible. Your feedback is crucial in this process, and we will certainly consider how we can further refine our compressor exercises to be more engaging and educational.

Thank you once again for your dedication to learning with us, and please continue to share your thoughts and suggestions.💪🏼🎧😎

What other exercises allow to learn more?

Hey @Richard Diaz , a simple thing you can do to practice hearing compression is to experiment in your DAW.
Take a drum multi track, put a compressor on it (or you can solo for example the snare) and mess with the settings.
Apply a good amount of compression, quick release, then open and close the attack to hear what it does. The trick is is to do the move quickly so you can easily hear what it does between the settings.
Do the same things with release: medium/slow attack then open/close the release settings.
And of course you can do the same exercice with ratio.

Hope it helps

Thank you very much for your time and advice, Anthony
I'll do all what you've told me!

Thank you all guys for your words. Things like these makes me feel blessed to belong to this community!
