Train your ears to recognize boosts and cuts in frequency and take your mixes, recordings and productions to the next level with Quiztones EQ ear training for audio engineers, producers and musicians. Quiztones uses tones and frequency-altered noise and musical loops (including source material from your own music library) to train your ears so you can intuitively identify frequency boosts, cuts and changes in level and develop more acute listening, EQ and frequency recognition skills. Quiztones will... • Improve your mixing, recording and EQ'ing chops • Sharpen your ears and frequency recognition skills • Help you achieve clarity in your mixes and recordings • Develop an intuition for which frequencies to boost or cut • Learn how to identify and remove problematic frequencies • Help you identify and eliminate PA system feedback for live sound • Remove the need to sweep for frequencies in a mix • Help you get cleaner mixes by learning to use EQ like a pro Quiztones cleverly uses quizzes to guide you through various training exercises, and lets you track your progress with a built-in score log. Each EQ quiz includes four trainers: • Easy frequency boost (+10 dB) • Hard frequency boost (+5 dB) • Hard frequency cut (-10 dB) • Expert frequency boost (+5 dB – 1/3 octave) Quizzes: • iTunes/Music Library • Tones • Pink Noise • Piano • Drums • Strings • Strings 2 • Orchestra • Electric Bass • Upright Bass • Female Vocals • Electric Guitar • Acoustic Guitar Each gain level comparison quiz includes two difficulty levels. — Testimonials: "Turns out, this app offers everything offered in that Berklee class of mine… in an app!" - Damian Erskine, No Treble “The Quiztones app is far and away the best app I've purchased. It's an incredible tool for all audio engineers and musicians ... My mixing has improved by leaps and bounds after just a few weeks with Quiztones.” - Austin McAllister A professional Audio Engineer of 10 years, I've come across many ear training devices, blind tests, and software. This app is TOPS! Highly recommended! The developers are serious about what they do. You will not be disappointed! - Joel Avery — Why We Created Quiztones EQ Ear Training Apps... We thought there should be an easier way to learn how to use EQ, train your ears and expedite the path to getting professional quality mixes, recordings and productions. When I was at music school ten years ago studying audio engineering and music production, my teacher turned an iMac around, pulled up an EQ in Pro Tools and started quizzing the class on which audio frequencies he was boosting or cutting in a mix. That's when it hit me — this should be an app, with various difficulty levels, a scoring system and the ability to import your own source material for quizzes that will teach you how to use EQ like a pro. Fast forward to today — 50k app downloads later — and we're still just as excited to keep evolving Quiztones to help you take your mixes, recordings and productions to the next level.

    I LOVE THIS APP!
    It's very practical and useful! It has helped me identify frequencies a lot quicker for mixing, or problematic frequencies in your mix. I got it on my phone and now also on my Mac. I LOVE it. Show more

    Missing a Learning Section
    I would give it 5 stars if there was a section to learn the frequencies because these quizzes do you no good if there isn't anything to build your knowledge with first. When will you be updating? Show more

    Please Add Practices
    I have the iPhone version as well and I find the Practice option to be invaluable. Please add it to the Mac version so I can study for the quizes.

    App is great. No practice option
    The app is great and so far has been great for training the ear but I find it pretty annoying that there is no option to practice. The phone app offers this for a 3rd of the price of the computer version. Since I know that this already exists in the cheaper app it really bugs me that I paid way more for less functionality. They need to update the app or offer the phone app for free if you purchased the ‘full’ version on the computer. Show more

    my music library does not work?
    this app is a super helpful way to keep up my listening skills without having to go back to Golden Ears-- however, not very user friendly. it took me about five quizzes to realize how the "on" button for the eq worked (I thought my headphones were damaged because I couldn't hear any shifts), and the feature to use your own music library seems to not be working and I can't figure out how to trouble shoot/where to go to get help. I do not regret purchasing because I need the practice but not worth $15. Show more

    Invaluable
    This app has proven a great resource. The hardest part of mixing for me is identifying tones I want to change by applying EQ in some way. I finally feel like I can start to hone in more easily, and undoubtedly, with some more training, I will hear what I should be hearing more quickly. That will take (and has already taken to some degree) a lot of guesswork and trial and erorr out of the process. I highly recommend this app to anyone working in audio. Show more

    Overpriced and unstable
    This app is a great idea, and it looks great. However in the first 24 hours of use, it has crashed 10 times. Also, $10 is way too much for such a simple app that barely does anything. What you see in the screenshots is the full extent of the app. I regret my purchase. Show more

    Crashes
    Version 5 of this app is very disappointing. It crashes several times a session and there are occational clicks and pops that can be distracting. I used previous versions on a daily basis for years without a single issue. Audiofile Engineering used to be very responsive to problems but now they seem like they no longer care or there’s simply no one in charge of Support. I’m guessing that the company has been abandoned and the users are left out in the cold. This is a great app when it’s working and I just wish I could revert to pre version 5 somehow. Show more

    Still a major flaw...
    The new version did not fix a major flaw that was present in the last version. When doing the EQ quizzes with your own music, due to the level of modern mastering, applying any boost to a track that is already peaking at 0 dBFS will cause clipping. There should at least be some form of internal compensation in the app, for example: if the EQ quiz you’re attempting is going to be using an 8 dB boost, reduce the track level by 8 dB to give yourself headroom to actually be able to boost some frequency by 8 dB. Otherwise, it’s just going to distort, especially at low freqeuncies. This happens regardless of the level from the computer itself. I feel that doing the EQ quizzes with your own music is most beneficial because it lets you hear EQ changes in a context in which you are already familiar. However, this is very difficult with this app because of the clipping/distortion that occurs. Show more
