Mastering The Mix has announced a powerful, gamified ear training tool that’s completely free for music producers. EQ Academy helps users train their ears so they can EQ with confidence.
With 100 levels spread across 10 sections (EQ Explorer, Frequency Finder, Sound Sculptor, etc). You’ll progress from the fundamentals to mastering advanced EQ techniques.
Each section introduces new challenges, from EQ gain adjustments to frequency positioning, Q bandwidth control, and mid/side processing. Every level pushes you further, unlocking the next stage when you meet the required score.
EQ Academy features
- Play through 100 interactive levels that sharpen your EQ instincts — from gain and frequency to Q and mid/side.
- This is hands-on practice, not just another plugin or passive tutorial. You’re actively training your ears in real time — and that’s how real progress happens.
- Track your improvement with real-time stats and global rankings.
- Compete in Battles to test your skills against other producers.
- Unlock the Challenge Builder to target your weak spots, and import your favorite tracks to train with the music you love.
EQ Academy is 100% free for subscribers to the Mastering The Mix mailing list.
