Train Your Ears Edition 2

I like the idea but why should I train?The ability to connect what is in your mind with the appropriate parameters you have to dial to get that sound is not an easy task. The steps involved should be:Sometimes people get lost in the translation step and start turning knobs without confidence. The more you work, the better you understand what those knobs really do, but it is a slow process.People excel in this matter after many years, because they have learned experimenting with lots of different processes applied to lots of different sources. The purpose of this training is to open your ears to what each frequency sounds like and reduce the amount of time needed to acquire this knowledge.In 15 minutes you can guess or correct 100 random equalisations, so training every day for a few weeks is equivalent to accumulating the experience of many years. Where does this training method come from? Did you make it up?No, we didn’t! The Guess Method has been used for over 40 years.

TrainYourEars EQ Edition is an ear training software for Mac and Windows, designed to help you understand equalizers and frequencies like never before.

There were exercises on cassettes, CD’s or it was done manually by teachers. We know it works and it has proven its efficiency over the years with thousands of successful engineers.The new Correct Method comes from a suggestion (the mastering guru) made to us: I suggest presenting a piece of recorded music which needs 'help' in some frequency range and see if the student can not only identify the problem, but also correct for it in a musically satisfying way.So that is what we did: correct instead of guess. We tested it and we loved it. It turned out to be both funny and instructive. Both methods complement each other really well.Besides, we have designed the software to turn these methods into a limitless tool, way better than any cassette or CD, because you can feed it with any music or sound and configure the exercises to a level of diversity and detail which wasn’t imaginable before.We can’t place more emphasis on this way of training the ear: IT WORKS!

Cons:– Now that they have even reduced the price, I can’t find any2.0 (TYE) is a clean, simple application for Mac and Windows that can teach you to listen for EQ adjustments in sound, to help you zero in on your frequencies as you’re mixing. Train Your Ears, Please The EyeTrainYourEars is a simple one window affair, easy on the eyes, with 3 steps to training.1) Decide where the music will come from.

That first test is straightforward; the boosts and cuts are a massive 12DB, and the frequency bands are widely spaced from 125 to 8000Hz. You log your guess, and done. The second test is the same, but you have to correct the signal back to the original source, so if it’s cut at 125, for example, you need to boost to bring it back. Slightly harderAnd so on. Not only does TYE test simple frequency band boosts and cuts, it tests shelves, band pass filter, resonant filters (like on a synth), and also the way an entire 5 or 7- band graphic EQ would affect the sound. It quickly becomes apparent that TYE has the potential to upset anyone who thinks they can hear the slightest eq adjustments!

If that’s not hard enough, you can quickly find your listening weaknesses, and then design and save your own tests to improve those skills. With the test designer, you can choose what parameters are going to be altered, and can make it as simple or as difficult as you like.

At the most difficult end, you can be trying to decipher up to 10 changes from 28 different frequency bands from 20Hz to 20kHz, 12 different volume levels (+3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and the same levels in the opposite direction), 6 Q-factors, and 6 different filter types, all in the same test. I would suggest that would be nigh on impossible for anyone to get 100% right.

So there’s room for everyone to grow!! At the simplest end, you could select two bands that are adjusted either 18DB gain or cut. Once you’ve edited your exercise, you simply save, and start training yourself. TYE does the rest.Using the built-in audio player, I particularly liked the various options available within it. You can add a bunch of music at once, loop specific sections, randomise which song comes up and even play it in mono. All very useful.

Here’s a video from the makers showing you exactly how it works:TrainYourEars Review – ConclusionAs a mix engineer, it’s important to keep learning; keep improving on your skill set. EQ is one of the most important skills a mix engineer needs to dedicate time to master. And it’s extremely fast with TrainYourEars 2nd version.is simple to use, but much more flexible than other training software I’ve used, coming with different variations and complexities of ear training which is both useful for the beginner and the expert.I love the fact you can design your own exercises, so once you’ve mastered the beginning set of 13, you can devise your own test, and make it as devilishly hard as you like. I used it half an hour a day for a week solid, and I was shocked at how improved my listening skills were at the end of that week. Whether it will ruin my ability to just listen to music for enjoyment, we’ll have to see!

But as a mix engineer it’s an incredible tool.Highly recommended. If you’re not convinced by my review, take it from the dozens of prestigious universities that use it to train their students.The price has just been reduced to 49 euros, roughly $50. For more information, see.
