Wow, this is awesome! One more reason to keep training my ear at Soungym 💪

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this article, really interesting !

nice job man, it's very QOTSA reminiscent :))

Thanks, and that band was actually the reference tracks the artist chose ha

Listen to the compressed sound which has long values of sounds, carefully listen for ones that has more reverb at the end of the sounds. this help me most of the time playing this exercise

Hey there - I think about how compression effects each stage of a sound differently (I simplify it to transient, sustain, and release). It sounds like you've relied on more the middle and ends of the sound to gauge compression, so maybe try focusing more on the beginning? Compression can make the transient feel snappier if it has a longer attack or more dull if it has a super fast attack. I think of it like this:

Transient: with a slow attack, compression will emphasize a tappy, clicky, sharp transient at the beginning of the sound. With a fast attack, it will dull the transient entirely.

Sustain: compression will often make the sustain phase of a sound more even and subdued (that could be the far away feeling you described) and more consistent, meaning it might sustain for longer.

Release: compression can make the end of a sound louder, which can bring out residual delay sounds, ambience, or any noises associated with stopping a note (like on piano you sometimes get a release sound).

Finally, one trick I often use is to turn my volume way down and compare the two signals. At low volumes, differences in the transient and overall shape of the sound may be easier to recognize. Hope this is helpful!

Love this one, great job! AI Videos definitely can help to visualize your Visions in music and how you see your stories.

Thanks @Endriu Filimon! I think over the years I had considered different ways to visually tell stories and I feel it allows a new type of expression. Thanks for checking it out!

Super Ken! Loved the song and the video!

Congrats Eish! ⭐⭐⭐
