Tip: Not sure if these will work for anyone else, but they sure works for me! 1. If you are trying to detect a small gain change of (say) 1dB, to detect it on the UP transition (e.g. 70dB to 71dB than the DOWN transition (71dB to 70dB). So if you are playing the Filter Expert game and it has A=+1dB and B=-1dB, try to detect a change by moving from B to A, not from A to B. 2. It's often easier to detect changes in the low end than the high end. Example using both these techniques: If Filter Expert gives you a choice of A: a 1dB gain at the low end or B: a 1dB cut in the high end, switch from B to A and listen for a gain in the low end because 1. It's easier to listen for a gain, 2. It's easier to hear it at the lower frequencies.
What about the DB king... I'm on the free access so I have not played filter expert... But do you think this tip would apply to DB king? If so what would be the process for that... right now I'm just rapid fire between A/B to see if one of the answers sticks out
From my understanding, DB King asks us to determine the dB difference of the original audio file to the new audio file that has a gain or attenuation. Our job is to choose the correct dB difference number. I believe Ross is just suggesting you try detecting gain rather than worrying about listening for how much attenuation, or reduction. This may cause you to listen from modified/new sound to original if it is an attenuation. Good luck!
Hey thanks Craig and Ross for clearing that up... I get it now lol... I'm still new to this music stuff lol but trying to get better a day at a time 😉
