Appmuse

I wish this app had a way to track progress. I would have given it 5-stars if it had a way to track progress.

I love the fact that I can stream this app to my car stereo and study various eq choices to improve my mixes. I make final decisions in the car for my mixes. This app helps me better understand what those decisions will sound like. Definitely worth it! Show more

This app helped me become MUCH faster with EQ, and helped me know with greater precision what I'm hearing all around .

What a cool app,Great training

I use this everyday in the morning, and it's improving both my speed and accuracy in my studio. Great stuff!

This has helped me be able to identify frequencies much quicker which saves me time and money!

I've owned this app for a few years now. Always loved it. It has helped immensely with my frequency range identification for both instruments in mixing, as well as finding feedback frequencies while mixing for live sound. Phenomenal app, highly recommend it. I own the iOS and desktop version. Totally worth it. Show more

This is a cool concept, and hopefully just a starting point, for what could be a great learning tool. The app is split into 3 quiz sections: tones, EQ, and gain. It's straight forward, and you get a score at the end of each quiz. The only suggestion I have about improving the tone section would be the addition of progress tracking; as the scores don't show a comparison to your prior performance. The other two types of quizzes (EQ and gain) are a little more complicated to work with. The concept is interesting, but it still needs a little work. You can play a song from your library, or choose from stock instrument recording (guitar, drums, bass) and the app will boost certain frequencies, or the gain by a certain amount. Your supposed to identify which frequency is being boosted, or how much gain is added, but there is no "clean"comparison track to reference. This makes it feel less like a controlled experiment and more like a guessing game. I'm sure some individuals with well trained ears could easily point out what mine can't, but then they would have no use for this app. If this is meant to guide untrained ears; a reference track is essential. To add to this feeling of playing the quizzes blind, the app has very limited and vague instructions, no tutorial, FAQ, or contact info. As for support; I found no way to get in touch with them on their website while navigating it on my phone. I could have checked out their full version on my laptop, but figured since this was an iOS app, I should stick to my phone. I hope the updates improve upon this, otherwise this is definitely not a $5 app yet. Show more

At first I didn't like this app, but then I dove into all the training games and changed my rating. The sine wave frequency training isn't the best, but what I found very useful is the eq section: three different levels for various instruments and a section for your own music! There's free stuff online out there, so the $7.99 is a bit much. Show more

Very limited features and quizzes...

You pay $5 for this then when you open it up and want to do basically anything you need to upgrade to the pro version.... trash

Great app for learning to differentiate between various pitches. The basic version is a good start, but most people would want the "pro" add-on for the extra $$. With that, I like that they give you an example track of a female vocalist, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, etc. and you are expected to tell what frequencies have been adjusted with those tracks. It's easy to get tired of hearing the same example track over and over, but I guess you could load some samples into itunes and use those for identifying various frequencies (instead of just using songs by your favorite artists). The grading system is very simple to understand and the layout looks great and is easy to use. Very happy customer here - Thanks (also, works great on iOs 8.3 - iPhone 6). Show more

I mean, the whole buy then buy again is pretty darn Lame so off two stars, but the fact that it doesn't keep track of your performance is stupid (off two more stars). How would you see what you need to improve.... What are the points for??!! And instead of a Sine Wave Test Tone, you guys should get real life examples of feedback. I don't know, maybe just One same recording with a 32 band provoked over a mic and speaker to simulate. That would be 32 samples, multiplied by however many intensities you want, let's say 3- easy, Hard, and expert. This is a great tool, but let's improve it for the sake of this awesome app. It would be a shame for this potential to stay the same. Great App for beginners thou :) (1 star) ? Show more

Has no learning / training mode

I am currently enrolled in MTSU's Audio Production program and this app is recommended as a tool to help outside of a class called "Critical Listening". The app is pretty similar to the training we do in class with the Golden Ears disc set. I love the option to choose a song from your phone's library to use. It's very important to have a collection of songs you know really well to use as a solid reference. If you pick a song that you really enjoy and just know how it sounds, it makes it easier for you to pinpoint where the problem is when the boost/cut is turned on (too bright, muddy bass, telephone effect, midrange honk, etc.) I think it would be nice to have a review option maybe after each question or after you complete the set of 10. Maybe the boost/cut is at 2K but you choose 1K, if you could revisit the question and had the option to compare the 2K boost to the 1K boost it would help you distinguish between them. Also I read another review that suggested a kind of tutorial/introduction for the newcomers. I think this would also be a good addition seeing as how it would help someone who is just starting out develop the associations of the change characteristics to the name of the frequency band. (Brightness = 8K/16K, Telephone effect = 1K/2K, etc.) All-in-all it's not bad, especially alongside any similar ear training courses or lessons. Show more

What a joke. I bought this because the far superior DDT Feedback app does not work anymore. I spent 5 bucks just wanting a feedback identification trainer. Well, the 1 octave version is great for beginners, but way too easy for me. Apparently I have to buy the pro version to unlock the 1/3rd octave function. Cool. I bought this app for $4.99, now I have to spend god knows how much to make it useful. I'd at least like to know how much it costs before to upgrade to pro. But apparently that needs to be kept secret as well. Great job. Show more

Five dollars and then you have to pay more money to get the pro version? Ridiculous!I should have read the reviews prior to purchasing.

I like the interface of this app, but it needs to be redesigned using a spaced repetition method. The app right now currently just jumps you into the frequency test, without teaching what each frequency sounds like. If spaced repetition was utilized, the frequencies can be more easily remembered. Show more

I feel like the developers are trying desperately to trick people because they are poor and cannot get gigs themselves.

Certainly not a bad way to learn frequencies, but they try and get you to buy the "pro" version after you buy the app. Come on dude, I took a chance on you, don't shaft me... Show more
