Quiztones alternatives
Short answer: Quiztones is the pick for frequency and gain quizzes on an iPhone or a Mac. If you’re on Android or Windows, or want to go past naming frequencies, look at these.
- Past naming frequencies, in any browser: Mix Chops: find the problem, cut it, set the faders.
- A phone app on Android too: MixSense.
- Pay once, train on your own music on a PC: TrainYourEars EQ Edition.

Where they differ
- Where it runs. Quiztones is an Apple app. Mix Chops runs in any browser, Android and Windows included.
- How you answer. Quiztones asks you to name the frequency or gain change. Mix Chops starts there, then has you set it: sweep and cut a resonance, fix the instrument that’s muddying a full mix.
- What’s trained. Quiztones is frequency and gain. Mix Chops adds compression, level balance and space.
- The music. Mix Chops’ songs are split into stems, so a problem can sit on one instrument and you find which.
