EarQuiz Frequencies

EarQuiz Frequencies is a software for ear training on equalization. Its goal is to help musicians and other audio professionals or students learn how to hear frequency bands, and to adjust an EQ consciously.

This application is based on (and deeply inspired by) the world-renowned Golden Ears method of David Moulton, whose course is half dedicated to building this essential critical listening skill.

The overall training process involves ongoing learning and testing yourself. In the Learn mode, you listen to the pink noise or music (or other external audio) excerpts with switched off and on 1-octave or 1/3-octave graphic EQ, boosting or cutting frequency bands within certain spectral ranges. Then in the Test mode you are given a sequence of 10 similar examples, where you try to guess, which frequencies are boosted or cut, and you get scored.

Educators in the audio industry may use this software to produce superb quality training and test materials for their students almost in no time.

Features:

• Internal pink noise generator or any external audio file in WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3 format as audio source.
