$8 = Real Price
Great app for learning to differentiate between various pitches. The basic version is a good start, but most people would want the "pro" add-on for the extra $$. With that, I like that they give you an example track of a female vocalist, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, etc. and you are expected to tell what frequencies have been adjusted with those tracks. It's easy to get tired of hearing the same example track over and over, but I guess you could load some samples into itunes and use those for identifying various frequencies (instead of just using songs by your favorite artists). The grading system is very simple to understand and the layout looks great and is easy to use. Very happy customer here - Thanks (also, works great on iOs 8.3 - iPhone 6).Show lessMusicinstructor
It's not bad
I am currently enrolled in MTSU's Audio Production program and this app is recommended as a tool to help outside of a class called "Critical Listening". The app is pretty similar to the training we do in class with the Golden Ears disc set.
I love the option to choose a song from your phone's library to use. It's very important to have a collection of songs you know really well to use as a solid reference. If you pick a song that you really enjoy and just know how it sounds, it makes it easier for you to pinpoint where the problem is when the boost/cut is turned on (too bright, muddy bass, telephone effect, midrange honk, etc.)
I think it would be nice to have a review option maybe after each question or after you complete the set of 10. Maybe the boost/cut is at 2K but you choose 1K, if you could revisit the question and had the option to compare the 2K boost to the 1K boost it would help you distinguish between them.
Also I read another review that suggested a kind of tutorial/introduction for the newcomers. I think this would also be a good addition seeing as how it would help someone who is just starting out develop the associations of the change characteristics to the name of the frequency band. (Brightness = 8K/16K, Telephone effect = 1K/2K, etc.)
All-in-all it's not bad, especially alongside any similar ear training courses or lessons.Show lessJerbear_93
Really?
What a joke. I bought this because the far superior DDT Feedback app does not work anymore. I spent 5 bucks just wanting a feedback identification trainer. Well, the 1 octave version is great for beginners, but way too easy for me. Apparently I have to buy the pro version to unlock the 1/3rd octave function. Cool. I bought this app for $4.99, now I have to spend god knows how much to make it useful. I'd at least like to know how much it costs before to upgrade to pro. But apparently that needs to be kept secret as well. Great job.Show lessFinal request
Great start with lots of potential
EDIT: Raised to 4 stars after recent fix.
Great app, excellent for frequency ear training. Only one feature request: The choose your own music feature plays the same section over and over for the whole test. It would be great to see it choose different sections, at least as an option, otherwise it's a bit tiring. For the price, I would expect to see a little more depth.
Overall, good stuff!Show lesstylerjpines
Just a advice
The app is good and works very well, but I think if guys can put a little detail when you are answering the question why not the frequency sound like the frequency I mean the wrong answer sounds like the wrong answer I think it's a way to learn fast.Ipadcantbuy
Excellent!!
I love this app! Within minutes of using it, I gained a lot of experience with being able to decipher between different frequencies. If you are a budding sound engineer, I strongly suggest for you to purchase this app! You won't be disappointed!TommyVallen
Must have!
I honestly have no idea where these negative comments are coming from. If all you are using it for is to identify tones then you are missing the point of the app. This has done wonders for my mixing skills. Immediately Finding problematic frequencies in sources is now a no brainer. I've told everyone I know to use this bad boy. It's done great things for me.Show lessandrew colquhoun
Excellent
As others have stated, it would be nice to use a whole song from your music library instead of short clips that loop. One feature I would like to see is the ability to hear what one's wrong answer would sound like. For instance, if your doing the easy tone quizzes and it plays a 1kHz sine and one selects 2k as the answer, The button should shake or light up red and then play a 2k sine. This sort of feedback to a wrong answer would help me to better distinguish problem areas frequency wise. Another great feature would be the ability to take quizzes on individual instruments in the context of a multiple instrument mix. Also, add compression quizzes! Thanks keep up the fine appinShow lessDanwedge
Great app to improve and practice but it doesn't teach you
Read Matthew's review below on which I agree too! That and some basic guide lines or tutorials would be nice like the qualities of boosting and cutting certain frequencies so that u can have a point of reference if Ur a beginner instead of a hit or miss approach. That and adding a range limiter so u can practice a certain octave would make this app a juggernaut. But I'm still happy as hell with my puchase.Show lessRayato
Awesome app
Thank you Jesus for this app!!!!!
I have been learning to record for some years with Logic Pro and hillbillyin stuff together and made a lot of progress. This app, if I will just use it, will put me in over the top on making decisions about mixes before I turn knobs. Very smart app, and priceless in my opinion for exercising my ears.
Well done and thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!Show lessSlinkyLuv
