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.
United StatesMissing 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?
United StatesPlease 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.
United StatesApp 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.
United Statesmy 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.
United StatesInvaluable
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.
United StatesOverpriced 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.
