Hi Cousin.
You can practice peak master in practice mode, so you can just swipe around and learn how the different frequencys sound like.
Good luck!

same for me. i made a certain amount of progress but have absolutely hit a wall. would appreciate any advice anyone has.

eq cheetah. its a crazy hard game, but will help you so much. i think i was on level one for like a week, but youre constantly being shown whats right and whats wrong, eventually it just starts to become second nature.
also i found it helps if you start with categories that have a wider range of information like genre based stuff, as opposed to specific instruments like "kick drum" or "percussion"

Try associating ranges with concepts like thuddy, muddy, boxy, nasal, telephonic, harsh, etc.. as in the diagram below

Try to imitate the boosts with your mouth and see which vowel you're forming. Most of the graphs online always show, that the vowels go from 200 hz to about 3000 hz (?), but I think this is individual to everyone, because for me it's a bit higher. But I can tell you my ranges: 400 hz = u; 800 hz = o; 1500 hz = a; 2500 = e; 4000 = i. These my not be in the same place you hear them, but the order of vowels will be in the same order. Step by step you will refine your ranges. For everything above and below, you need to remember it differently.

I'd say muddy would be more to the 250-350 area, but yeah, that's how to best approach it

there is an awesome tutorial on peakmaster in Learn tab, under the #eartraining
25 minutes long but totally worth it. I doubled my results and stopped guessing.

To me it helps to think of vowels u: lows,
o: lower mids, a: mids, e: high mids, i: highs. Sometimes it pops out so strongly with those vowels that you can't miss it.

There are lots of little tips you can use to help distinguish the different ranges (most have been pointed out). But your best friend is going to be...TIME. This is one of the toughest skills the develop and it really comes down to how much time you spend doing it. You have to give your brain the time it needs to absorb the information and than make the association to what you are drilling into it.
It gets frustrating at times, but if you tell yourself its about developing the skill and not going fast, you'll break barriers and move in leaps and bounds.
Take your time...we know you can do it!

"It has been a week of no progress." Don't worry! You can also train on your DAW and an EQ with these frequencies to learn where they are and how they affect instruments...

Practice everyday. Plateau is a Part of the Journey:)

1k-2.5k has always been the most difficult for me. Recently I discovered that the resonant sound of this area kind of represents a wah pedal (at least to me it does). So if I listen to these frequencies as the "vowels" of a wah pedal opening up, I can grasp the frequency almost instantly. Whatever works!

Also, you can play Bass Detective to get your 100-400 on point.

Wow theres a lot of really good advice here, going to write them down in my log. Thanks a ton guys

Sorry I forgot to put this in my last post....

Someone shared this website a while back. I supplement this with SoundGym and I found it super helpful for getting over hurdles. Hopefully it helps!

just be wrong, don't think you're not going to make it. Every time you practice try to feel what that frequency sounds like. If you want too, play with adding adjectives to a sound quality (or a color) and then, you will get used to it. Your brain will at some point take a path of recognition

I would suggest to start with only one sound type, I choose the HD Drums, beacause of my music genre... and I love drums :D, I think easier to recognize it this way, pick an instrument you love :)
