When do you train your ears
Hi,
I started ear training a month ago since every professional mixer say it's a great habit. I'm using Soundgym. I've had really good results, I feel like I'm spending more time figuring out what frequency is bothering me rather than opening Pro Q3 and using spectrum to guess which frequency I should focus on.
I just don't know when to do it. I set my goal to 30 minutes every day, but depending on the moment I'm choosing I'm having different issues. I tried to start my day with it, I'm super focused in the morning. From 8 to 12 am everything seems easier. But at the same time I feel like I'm wasting some precious time that I could spend on mixes. Also when I start a mix right after it I already have some ear fatigue.
I tried to do it at the end of the morning but I get awful results since my ears are tired.
For some reason I have way less energy in the afternoon, maybe digestion is guilty but even after changing my diet I've having trouble to be focused. And I think it's a bad idea to "learn" when you're not fully focused. So I couldn't find any moment that seems ok in the afternoon.
Have you experienced this kind of problem ? If so did you find a good spot in the day for ear training ?
Thanks a lot !
Etienne.
