Train
Your ears are the only tool you can't buy.
Five questions a day. Real audio - samples with something done to them, and you work out what. It takes about two minutes and it's the difference between guessing at a mix and hearing it.
The daily round is free, forever. No card, no trial.
What a question looks like
23 types and counting, across dynamics, spectrum, space, fidelity and mix judgement.

-

-

What key is this in?
One round a day
Everybody gets the same five questions, so the daily board is a fair race. Three hearts. Five out of five is an Ace, and it doubles what the round is worth.
Drill as much as you like
Members practise without limit, with fresh questions every time — and a drill tells you the answer when you miss, so it's practice rather than repeated guessing.
Race your own division
You're ranked against people playing the same difficulty, not against everyone. The weekly board resets every Monday, so a beginner can win it.
It gets harder
Five difficulties, each unlocked by the last. The same question gets quietly meaner — a cut you couldn't miss at Easy is a couple of dB at Veteran, and the wrong answers move closer to the right one.
Two minutes a day.
Start with today's round. It's free, and it's the same one everybody else is doing.
