Train Your Ears has announced the release of TrainYourEars EQ Edition, the first of a series of software programs dedicated to training the ears of sound engineers.
The training system works by generating a random processed version from an original signal. After listening to both the original and the processed audio the user must guess which parameters were used to create the processed one.
“Through repetitions the user will learn the real effect of each parameter (or combination of parameters), associating it with sounds and feelings more than with theory explanations, ” the company says.
TrainYourEars EQ Edition is the equalization trainer. In the future, Train Your Ears say they will develop other similar programs, to train the ear to “hear” more types of processors like compressors, reverbs and delays, distortion or synthesizers.
Main features:
- An audio player to reproduce Wav, Aiff and Mp3 files.
- Pink and white noise generators.
- Hardware (iPod, radio, instruments…) or software (iTunes, streaming…) routing capabilities.
- Range selection to train different frequencies, gains, Q factors, filter types or a combination of them.
- Up to 10 bands, each one with its own parameters.
- Several options to hear between the original and processed signals, like silence or decorrelation sounds.
- A “Random Player” function which jumps to a new song/audio each time the user starts a new riddle.
- Possibility of saving and loading exercises.
- It works in Windows as well as in Mac with any kind of driver and routing and doesn’t need any additional software.
Minimum requirements: OSX 10.5/10.6 or Windows XP/Vista/7.
Pricing & Availability
TrainYourEars EQ Edition is available now at the introductory price of 19.90€.
