I lately found out that I really don't like non-round numbers in my setups.
I guess I'm doing that for decades now, but just wasn't aware.
Things like I would change an attack setting of 0.9 to 1.0.
Or makeup gain from 7.6db to 8db.

Now that I'm aware of that I will work against it, forcing me to keep the value as it is.
It's just so strange that I never thought about what or why I am doing it.

Anyone else with 'different from the other kids' behavior out there?

 

Just a mild OCD, almost everyone has it to some degree, no need to fight, just embrace the rounded numbers!

 

Humans are not perfect beings—which is precisely why they usually rely on their computers, which appear to be flawless.
Don't go diagnosing it as a mental illness right away, though. It's possible your hearing is simply deteriorating due to age.

 

i'm autistic with ocd tendencies and i surely only move in 1db steps lol, 0.5 if i force myself to not care

 

Dude...sometimes, but not all the time.

You can reset it tho...

Everything you wear turn it inside-out and get comfortable like that, shirts aditionally also front to back!

 

I just use my ears without looking at labels

 

Congratulations?
Dude, you're in the wrong thread

 

I think my only issue like this would be utter frustration with sample pack producers and their overuse of _ all over the place, putting their name in front of the sample, making browsing a pain, using needless subfolder, increasing the time it takes to browse and blowing my email up 3x a day with "hey bro...sup fam....LAST CHANCE!!....You've Unlocked....Limited Time!!!...Only 500 licenses..." and all this other utter nonsense. And stuffing the folders with pointless txt, url etc and so on that I just immediately delete. Having to undo the mess they make can sometimes suck.
And that's what Grinds My Gears

 

Sounds like non-conformism is more the thing here maybe. I can dig that. Trust in the pseudo science.

 

Thankfully not too many neuroses, but I never put a knob/slider to maximum or minimum. It's always like: crank to the fullest... and then gently dial back a bit.

I dunno why but I still do this, even with things like distortion pedals that don't go nearly far enough. Gotta tame them settings down.

 

That's weird, never ran into that myself and I'd rather have to go to therapy than move from a number like 0.93 for attack or something, when that's the sweetspot.
