"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 Ive 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. [Its] a great educational tool." -Tom Flint, Sound on Sound: The Worlds 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 color, 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 youre mixing a live concert, a recording, or even playing music through iTunes. (VIDEO @ www.hearEQ.com)

Its 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 favorite 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 youd 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 thats 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 youll be an EQ master in no time.

*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 youll be able to start EQing right away!

Pros and cons of hearEQ: Ear training for EQ app for iPhone and iPad

hearEQ: Ear training for EQ app good for

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.
Good program to learn by ear the frequency changes on an equalizer
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 its usually not fun, and can get pain-stakingly boring. Im 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!
app is smooth, fun, intuitive. makes learning a tedious and precise task easier! great refresher even if youve been doing it for years!

Some bad moments

Great sound training for audio engineers. Would be good to add a feature for drills using pink noise.
I go to school for audio engineering and I find this a helpful and entertaining, if not a tiny bit simple, app for ear training.
I really like this tool for learning each frequency. If I could add one thing it would be "finding the feedback frequency". Would love to see it added to this app.
Great app for those who struggle with learning and identifying frequencies. It is extremely helpful for learning how to identify frequency problems, and is pretty fun at the same time.
Learning to identify frequencies is essential for anyone interested in audio engineering and this app does a good job with improving your skills. I would like to see some refinements in the user interface, but overall I would definitely recommend this app.
It does what it says. So far its fun and I feel that I am learning to recognize EQ levels very easily. Great app and worth the price.
