Can you spot a 3dB boost at 2kHz? Can you tell plate reverb from hall? Can you match a compressor by ear? MUEDear trains the one skill every producer needs — listening. Not quizzes: every game runs real DSP, so you hear actual EQ curves, actual compression, actual reverb impulse responses — the same audio your plugins produce. STUDIO — 11 ear-training games • MuFreQ — Identify the boosted frequency • MuComp — Spot the compressed audio • MuRush — 60-second frequency challenge • MuVerb — Identify the reverb type • MuPan — Locate the pan position • MuHorse — Match the compressor settings (1176, SSL, Fairchild, LA-2A) • MuDyn — Judge how much gain reduction • MuSter — Judge the stereo width • MuPhase — Identify the phase processing • MuSat — Judge the saturation level • MuLoud — Judge how much louder B is PLAY (beta) • MuTuner — a real-time chromatic tuner. More Play tools are coming soon. Hoo the Owl picks your first game from your background — producer, engineer, musician, or just curious. Play 5 games a day free (watch an optional ad for more). No paywall. Your ears will thank you.
