Description

hearEQ builds your EQ skills to professional levels using custom ear training exercises, created just for you from your favourite songs. Simple, powerful, and fast, hearEQ is perfect for ear training on the go. Named one of "The best iPhone and iPad apps for musicians" (www.apppicker.com), here's what the experts have to say about hearEQ:
"When I found hearEQ, I knew this was a game-changer. From the ease of use and the ability to use your own music selections, hearEQ is perfectly designed to be the go-to choice for developing your ear. My students have shown tremendous improvements in mixing and productions, and I completely attribute this to hearEQ. Thanks Ten Kettles! Keep up the great work. You are making a difference!" -Chandler Bridges, Ph.D., Professor (The Los Angeles Film School); Audio engineer (Will Smith, Aaliyah, Johnny Mathis, P-Diddy, J-Lo, Bette Midler, LeAnn Rimes, and more) with two Grammy-winning albums.
“After half an hour with the app I had a noticeable improvement to my score, but I was also thinking in much clearer terms too!” -Tim Webb, www.discchord.com
“This handy app is one of the greatest tools I've seen for helping you hear exactly how EQ adjustments affect your sound. Wish I would have had this when I was first learning how to mix live sound.” -James Wasem, www.greatchurchsound.com
"hearEQ…makes the experience of ear training enjoyable enough to seem like fun. [It's] a great educational tool." -Tom Flint, Sound on Sound: The World's Best Recording Technology Magazine
“The principle behind hearEQ is beautifully straightforward…even with a little repetition, things do start to improve and I suspect if you were to build some hearEQ into your daily musical routine, you would soon reap some positive benefits.” -John Walden, www.musicappblog.com
----------------------------------
Every frequency range has a colour, a quality, a character. For sound engineers, musicians, and other enthusiasts, knowing how to apply this to an equalizer (EQ) can make a transformational change to your sound—whether you're mixing a live concert, a recording, or even playing music through iTunes. (VIDEO @ www.hearEQ.com)
It's a simple app with a powerful promise: if you learn the qualities of each frequency band—for example, cutting 4kHz puts sound in the background—then you can make equalization work for you, and truly transform your sound into something professional and beautiful.
hearEQ uses your favourite songs on your device to create custom ear training exercises that a) teach you all about frequency bands, and b) help you really hone your EQ skills. A standard 10-band or 30-band* equalizer is used, just like you'd find in iTunes and on many professional sound mixers. Your song will be played back with a simple equalization applied—and you guess what it was!
> Was it really clear, maybe a bit hollow? Could be a 1000 Hz cut.
> Was it muddy? Maybe that's a 500 Hz boost.
> Was it really present, almost too in-your-face? Sounds like a 4kHz boost.
Ten questions, ten frequencies, and then you get a score. Want to focus on just a few frequency bands to start? You can do that too. Keep at it, and you'll be an EQ master in no time.
Want to learn more? Check out our site and the hearEQ video at www.hearEQ.com.

*The 30-band equalizer is part of the "Advanced EQ" module, available as an in-app purchase within hearEQ.
NOTE: hearEQ works with any track on your device, with the exception of tracks that prevent our EQ processing, such as DRM-protected tracks and cloud tracks (e.g., Apple Music). That said, hearEQ ships with several built-in practice tracks, so you'll be able to start EQing right away!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Search up “Technical Ear Trainer” there’s a free site that does everything this does but better and with more features. No purchases no crap. The only downside is that it only works on laptop, but it’s soooo much better.

Guess the EQ

WAP47399 on

This test checks to see if you can spot the change in EQ. I started off scoring 2 out 10 questions correctly. I stayed with for about 15 minutes and soon I was scoring 5 out of 10 questions correctly. This does work and what’s more it focuses on my inability to correctly answer low EQ questions correctly. Most questions that were high-frequency based I could spot fast, but low-frequency based questions I still struggle with so that’s important feedback for me. Tells me which area of the frequency spectrum where I need to pay attention. Great product!

Inccurate & you have to pay even more for the full version

AllyssaR on

Canada

The cue width at which the cuts and boosts of the EQ are set to is far too wide. As an audio engineer and someone who has used other ear training apps, I don’t find this app accurate or helpful. Not to mention it’s $8.50 and you still have to pay to get the full version. What a ripoff!

Love the update!

By far the best new feature is being able to see the correct answer if I've guessed wrong! Can't learn without feedback!

Misleading

Applify666 on

Canada

Bought a burger and had to pay extra for the patty and even more to have condiments. I bought this app thinking it would be usable right away but you have to pay an additional $2.79 for pink noise generation and another $2.79 to enable all frequency bands. If anything the developers should have made the pink noise standard and charged the additional fee to use your own music as the former is standard in any ear training product and not everyone loads mp3's on their phones. App does what it says but the way it is marketed leaves a sour taste. Obviously not relying on repeat customers.

fun way to learn how to eq

app is smooth, fun, intuitive. makes learning a tedious and precise task easier! great refresher even if you've been doing it for years!

Absolutely an Essential app for training your Ears

Roach King on

Canada

As a musician ear training is perhaps one of the most overlooked steps on the learning curve. To really achieve a professional sound, having sharp ears is crucial. The problem is it's usually not fun, and can get pain-stakingly boring. I'm grateful for coming across this app as it makes ear training fun, simple and very effective. Build this into your daily routine, and you will reap the results in no time. PS. Would really like to see an add-on feature for 1/3 octaves for complete mastery of the frequency spectrum!

Nice learning touch

Good program to learn by ear the frequency changes on an equalizer

A very useful and fun/easy to use app!

AudioConductor on

Canada

As a pianist and student of auditory science, I found hearEQ to be a one-of-a-kind app that helped me learn more about music, train my musical ear, and even blow off steam a lot more productively and uniquely than many other apps out there! I strongly recommend hearEQ to anyone with any interest in music or sound.
