How It Works
Built by Audio Plugin Guy, this tool is designed as practical ear training you can use while writing melodies, tuning layers, hearing interval colour, and making faster EQ decisions in a mix. Audio is generated in the browser for quick practice sessions.
Training Modes
Note Recognition plays a single browser-generated tone and asks you to identify the note name, or the note plus octave. Interval Recognition plays two notes in sequence (ascending, descending, or both) and asks you to name the interval between them, from unison up to an octave. Frequency Range Recognition plays a pink-noise burst shaped around a specific frequency area and asks you to identify it using producer-friendly labels like "Low Mid" or "Presence".
Mode Setup
Each mode has its own setup panel. For Note Recognition you can restrict the note pool and toggle octave identification on or off. For Interval Recognition you can restrict the interval set and set the direction. For Frequency Range Recognition you can adjust the difficulty level to narrow or widen the frequency bands.
How To Use It
- Play - hear the audio cue.
- Select your answer from the grid - the app shows whether you were correct and explains the note or interval.
- Play again - repeat the same round.
- Next round - move on to a new challenge.
Session Tracking
Score, streak, accuracy, and best streak are tracked locally per mode for the current session. Switching modes preserves each mode's stats independently. Press Reset mode stats to clear just the active mode's counters.
Tips for Faster Progress
Start with a small note or interval pool and widen it only when accuracy is consistently above 80%. Use Interval Recognition in ascending-only direction first, then add descending. For frequency training, start at a lower difficulty and work up because the difference between adjacent bands is subtle at higher levels.

Listen For
Pitch centre and note colour
Start by hearing the centre of the tone before worrying about names. This is the same skill that helps when tuning bass layers, melodies, and one-shot samples.
Feedback
Enable audio, then hit play.
After the first interaction, the tool can auto-play new rounds so practice stays fast.
