The 9 pivot points: Ā· **50 Hz** ā Depth & Weight Ā· **100 Hz** ā Warmth & Punch Ā· **200 Hz** ā Thickness & Mud Ā· **500 Hz** ā Boxy & Gargle Ā· **1 kHz** ā Nasal & Knock Ā· **2 kHz** ā Edge & Clarity Ā· **5 kHz** ā Presence & Bite Ā· **10 kHz** ā Sizzle & Snap Ā· **20 kHz** ā Air & Plastic Each pivot mapped to perceptual adjectives ā so you don't just memorize numbers, you learn what they SOUND like. Four training modes: EQ Workbench ā Interactive 9-band parametric. Drag nodes vertically for gain, scroll wheel for Q, double-click to reset. Frequencies are locked to the pivot points (that's the whole point). Quiz ā Blind pivot trainer. The app boosts or cuts a random pivot on pink noise at Easy / Medium / Hard difficulty. A/B between processed and bypass, then pick the frequency + direction. Scoring tracks your accuracy over time. Listen ā A/B reference mode. Set gain and Q on a single pivot, toggle A/B against bypass, and read the "Boost to..." / "Cut to..." cheat sheet. Train your ear by hearing the same EQ move at multiple frequencies. Sweep ā Manual sine tone across the spectrum, plus an automatic logarithmic sweep from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with the nearest-pivot readout. Hear the spectrum, build the mental map. Sources: Ā· Pink noise (Paul Kellet generator, 4-second loopable buffer) Ā· Sine tone Ā· Log sweep Ā· Your own audio file Ā· Live microphone (with feedback warning) Hearing safety built in: Three independent ways to instantly stop audio: 1. Mute button ā instant silence, playback can resume 2. Stop button ā tears down the audio source completely 3. Always: keep your master volume LOW, use headphones at safe levels Sine tones and sweeps are internally attenuated to 15% of full scale. Why is it free?
