Anyone else feel like distorted reality is almost impossible with some soundpacks but super easy with others? Does that have to do with the volume differences between the packs? Or are some iterations of the same level just a lot more challenging?

If it clips very hard, it's obvious distorted; if it clips very tiny, it could be treated as a kind of 'compression'.

if you can easily pick it's distorted reality, if you can't it's 'compression reality'.

My struggle is that sometimes there is a substantial difference in volume making it very difficult to make an objective decision.

I do not understand how to hear compression. Played the same game 10 times and my score didn't even improve. Does anyone have a link to a video explanation or just some sort of descriptor of what I am supposed to be listening for?

There’s no video that will ever let you hear compression. Videos can explain how it works, sure, but they’ll never give you the ability to actually hear it.

It takes hours and hours of listening, hundreds of SoundGym exercises, and tons of experimenting in your DAW. After many hours of work, days of focus and persistence, you’ll start to feel compression, the difference between an 8:1, 4:1, or 2:1 ratio… an attack of 25 ms vs 50 ms… or a release of 100 ms vs 25 ms.

There’s only one way to get there: listen and practice, practice and listen.

It's not always easy to identify it or to access the level of compression.
Despite my complete understanding of the signal processing... Sometimes I find it challenging also...
After all... Sound nuances can be more difficult than Avionics! = P

Record a sound yourself or download a stem and play with it a lot with any compressor that came with your DAW. Take your time... Because this things take time!

It is definitely subtle. There was a good article/blog on here to give some sense of what to listen for.
