abcTrain

Four audio plugins: one ear trainer and three effects that teach you what their controls do while processing real audio. In your host they appear as ABC Ear Trainer, ABC Learner EQ, ABC Learner Comp and ABC Learner Verb, by soundkorb - all under ABC so the four sort together instead of scattering across the alphabet. Free, open source, macOS / Windows / Linux, as VST3, AU and Standalone.

Быстрый старт (RU)

Скачайте установщик для вашей системы. Он не подписан, поэтому система предупредит: на macOS — правый клик по .pkg → «Открыть», на Windows — «Подробнее» → «Выполнить в любом случае». Это говорит «издатель не проверен», а не «файл плохой» — подробнее.

Откройте ABC Ear Trainer (standalone или как плагин в DAW). На первом запуске предложат тридцатисекундную экскурсию — она показывает пальцем, что на что отвечает. Дальше выберите упражнение, слушайте, переключайте A/B пробелом и отвечайте шкалой.

Интерфейс есть на 12 языках, включая русский: он определяется по системе, а сменить можно в нижней панели.

What it is not

  • Not a curriculum. There is no lesson plan and no certificate.
  • Not a mixing tutor. It trains hearing; what you do with it is yours.
  • Not signed. See Installation.
  • Not connected to anything. No account, no server, no telemetry. Your progress is a file on your own machine.
