About
Hear what you are changing, not how loud it is.
MixSharp trains your ears for mixing with short, adaptive drills. Every A/B comparison is level-matched, so you train your ears, not your loudness bias.
Five minutes a day is enough to build a reliable ear for frequency, level, space and dynamics.
SEVEN DRILLS, TEN LEVELS EACH
Frequency: identify the octave or third-octave band that was boosted or cut.
Gain Difference: judge direction and amount of small level changes, and track your just-noticeable difference.
Panning: place a sound in the stereo field, from five zones to fine positions inside a mix.
Compression: detect compression, then name the ratio, attack and gain reduction.
Reverb: judge decay time, pre-delay and amount.
Saturation: detect harmonic distortion and tell soft clipping from hard clipping.
Delay: identify delay time, repeats, stereo width and tone.
HOW IT WORKS
Difficulty adapts to your skill rating. Feedback comes after every answer, with a chance to hear the difference again. Learn mode lets you explore each effect by ear before you are tested.
Progress shows your rating per drill, your streak, and a heat map of the frequency bands you miss most.
Sessions sync between your devices through iCloud.

WHO IT IS FOR
Producers, mixing engineers, home-studio musicians and audio students who want a faster path to hearing EQ, balance, space and dynamics decisions clearly.
REQUIREMENTS
Headphones are recommended; the Panning drill needs stereo playback. The app uses audio playback only and never accesses the microphone. Requires iOS 18, iPadOS 18 or macOS 15.
