Calibrator: How do you guys do with calibrator? For me: 1) Calibrator never shows up in my daily lessons - even though it has the box checked in my settings. 2) I find it difficult that even on level 1 we're given compound intervals (m13, etc.), and often in different octaves from the other options. I still haven't passed level 1 even though I'm 100 on intervalis and departure. I keep thinking there is a compound interval when there's not, or I fail to recognize the compound interval when it's there. Any tips?
for me I don't receive it on my daily routine, so I tried right after reading your post. It jast gave me one interval not the 3 intervals promised, is this game in need for assistance?
I ended up treating Calibrator like 3 concurrent games of Intervalis, Departurer or Lander. I figure out EVERY interval that’s presented and just choose the greatest one - I actually whisper them out loud, so I remember which is which, and just choose the greatest interval.
I also like the suggestion of sticking with a piano or instrument you can “hear” intervals better with.

@Jim Bradbury. Thanks for sharing your musical journey - loved reading about where you have been and where you going. What you said about your next song -that so resonated with me - because that’s the way I am too! Wishing you everything good!!
Living with musicians: dream setup or daily test of patience?
The Debate: Is sharing space with other musicians a vibe, or a chore?
On one side, there’s late-night jams, instant feedback, and random moments of inspiration. On the other, there’s noise, clutter, bad timing, and the eternal fight for quiet.
Why It Matters: Your environment shapes how consistently you practice, listen, and stay motivated.
Team A vibe or Team B chore, and what makes it feel that way for you?
