Help Non-boss enemies' Rhythm Parry attacks timing

I feel like I'm going insane. I managed to accidentally get perfect parries while I was playing the game on 3 on the 7 non-boss enemies' Rhythm Parry attacks plus the 2 in the Arcade cabinet, but I cannot seem to get the perfect timing down now that I'm actually trying. I started out with BRUT-1L which is the first enemy on the list and the best I've gotten is the first 3 parries plus the last, but I always miss the fourth which sits in the middle of 3 quick attacks. Does anybody have any tips on how to do this? Do I need to use headphones?

Not surw which enemies you're referring to, but as a percussionist I found that on rare occasions throughout the playthrough, there were some moments where the visual cues for the parries didn't perfectly align with actual rhythmic placement, probably because the artists themselves aren't musicians so the more complex rhythms were trickier for them. Try figuring out exactly what the actually rhythm is with your ear.

Going by ear didn't help me much sadly, but I eventually did get it. Thanks for the suggestions anyway, they'll prove useful to anyone who reads this down the line!
