Ear Training For Audio Engineers - Quiz Apps

This was a legacy assignment carried over from a few years ago when PureMix had a functional Ear Training Frequency App embedded in one of their webpages. Sadly, we noticed this page on PureMix no longer works.

We took this as an opportunity to address the bigger picture of ear training for audio producers. And a great place to start is here:

• How to-Listen - The Basics

We also created this introduction suggesting how to use your DAW to explore training your ears, interactively in real-time:

• Ear Training For Audio Engineers - Oscillator Exercises
  • Note: this is not an official assignment. Just good stuff to do!
  • It's also arguable that it would be good (best?) to do some of these DAW exercises before playing around with the online ear training quiz apps discussed in the Discussion prompts below
