bartelby Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 This is like a simplified version of the Critical Listening course from Belfast uni that you can do online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I started that, but in the end there were just too many exercises for me to fit it in to the rest of my life. Pity, as I was finding it useful for mixing recordings. Some pretty tough exercises - trying to pick out a 1dB lift at 12kHz (especially with my hearing being how it is these days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Exactly the same for me too. 3 hours a week sounds like nothing, until you actually try to do something. EDIT: and 300 listening exercises per week got really tiring!! Also, trying to pick out a 1dB boost at 12kHz with a screaming toddler in the background proved too difficult...

HowieBass Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Just gone through the Basic Level challenge and the one I had some difficulty with was noise, probably due to my loss of high frequencies (interestingly I picked up an increase in treble content to tell me which was which). Might keep the page open and try the other tests another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlungerModerno Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) OK got basic level. Apart from some of the more subtle notches It's very obvious to my ears. I may proceed at a better time! EDIT: Bronze is easier than basic! Edited September 12, 2014 by PlungerModerno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1410544638' post='2550663'] I got through to Golden [s]balls[/s] ears but then my head fell off [/quote] me too, ripped through the other three and now I can't get through the freq cut/boost section. My head's falling off as well so the only solution is a glass of wine and some Longbottom Leaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
