Alot of the time you can hear when the welder is set up correctly that is true, but a tip i was taught when i was an apprentice is to have the welder temp as high as the metal will take but without melting it, the hotter the better, the cleaner the metal the better too
Wire sppeed is as important, too fast and it will just float across the top of the metal without penetrating the metal and spit half inch sections of melted wire at you, too slow and all you will do is keep melting gun tips
The only real way of getting better at it, is by doing it, practice, practice and more practice
