About this exercise

Name the band by ear.

Identify is frequency ear training at its simplest. One frequency band has been boosted or cut. Flip the EQ in and out, then name the band, from 63 Hz to 16 kHz in octave steps. It starts on pink noise with three bands to choose from and ends on a full mix, where the move can be a boost or a cut.

How it works

  1. Press Start and listen. Flip between EQ In and Bypass as often as you like.
  2. Pick the band you think moved (keys 1 to 9). From level 5, sometimes nothing changed, and No change is the answer.
  3. Miss one and Help me hear it plays your answer against the real one, then tests you on the pair.

Levels

Twelve levels: the same three bands on pink noise, then drums; five bands on pink noise, then drums; seven bands on pink noise; all nine on pink noise, then drums; bass and drums; a full mix; cuts on pink noise; cuts in the mix; and Needle in the Mix, small boosts and cuts in a full mix. Before level 2 you can hear the three bands on drums first, or skip straight in. Fail a level twice and you get a short practice round on the bands you keep mixing up. Levels 1 and 2 are free. Levels 3 and up are part of Mix Chops Pro.
