I am absolutely sucking at all of the compression challenges. I don't see how anyone can tell the difference between 0ms attack and 10ms attack. I think I need a lesson where someone explains EXACTLY what they're listening for in each exercise. Anyone else struggling?

0 ms attack will have a very 'ringy' sound. 10 ms will have less so much ring.

Use the 'Bypass' option to hear the native sound and see what the compression is affecting, especially listening for what tones are brought up instead of being pulled down.

I found I needed to use studio monitor headphones with the volume turned up fairly loud to start noticing the subtle differences. It does take time and you really need to listen to all the parts of the transient. Once you know what to focus in on, it gets a lot easier. TBH, 3 months ago, I was having the same frustration you were having; I thought I’d be that person who just doesn’t get it. Good luck — you got this!

I like Scott's answers. You have to just try to listen more, even if it seems silly at first. I feel like the 0ms attack squashes the sound more (the overly compressed effect), and when you go up to 10, you can start hearing dose tiny peaks of the sound, and as you go up to 20,50, 100, the compressor releases more of the sound to hear. with the other compressor challenge i would just listen to the dynamics of A and B and the one that has less of dynamics is the one you pick.
Hope this helps!

Hey guys/gals! I made this triphop song this summer (production, mixing, mastering). I’m really proud of the result but would like to lend your critical ears. Please let me know what you think, it will be much appreciated!

Hey Joey!
Nice job, the track sounds great! I would not lean too much into critical feedback unless you feel you came up short with an issue in the production, mixing or mastering. Outside of that it is all personal taste and you could have 10 people saying 10 different things.
Congratulations on writing this song, producing it, mixing and mastering it and sharing it!!!

Asking for mix critique on this song is like Oleksandr Usyk asking for advice on how to throw a right hook... This is really good stuff :)

I don't want to be rude and this comment has nothing to do with the song or artist, but isn't this the same song that has won for the past three weeks? I feel the system is broken and is discouraging users like me from voting. This is a contest for people to have the opportunity to win a badge. Once a song wins then the winner song should be moved to a winners section. Idk if I am wrong here but it just doesn't make sense to me that this is a contest, yet it feels unfair to the people who keeps participating with new songs.... I've been feeling like SoundGym needs a serious tune up on everything!.... Lastly, shout out to all the awesome artists uploading songs on the charts!!! Keep it up, I listen to every song and we have some greatness for sure 💙
