EQ Practice software - recommendations ?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I'm taking a class called Psychoacoustics and Listening Skills. We have some EQ practice software by Harman. It's beta software and is very bug ridden. It's annoying to use. Several fundamental type functions like "rewind" don't work. I loaded some of my own song samples but now don't seem to be able to delete them and start over.

 

I'd be willing to pay maybe 30-50 bucks for good software in this area.

 

Anybody ?

What does "EQ practice software" do? Are you looking for a blind test where you try to determine, by listening, the EQ applied to some materal?

 

Yes. The link below has the software link. It's a good concept, just wish the software was finished. The bugs need fixing.

Well, it's a beta version that's 5 years old. I guess their hopes that people would use it and learn didn't pan out.

 

In 1987, I took a How To Record Music Good workshop set up by National Public Radio and we had ear training exercises a few times a day that were similar to what that Harman program does, but in 1987, the instructors did it the old fashioned way, by passing music through equalizers, adding hum, distortion, clipping, and reverberation and playing the recordings for the class.

It turns out there seems to be some things out there. The first one (trainyourears.com) looks promising. There is a promo video that mentions using your own sound sources (pretty much a must if one doesn't want to go nuts listening to the same pre-loaded loops over and over and over).

 

It appears to cost 49 Euros. A little more poking around shows that the cost in USD is $53.98. Looks like it may be a good option.
