These 2 softs and also EarMaster use almost inaccurate soundfonts. For training, nothing more important than that.

 

Why? Not better to use a violin bow. My head getting deformed.

Because you keep saying crap. Ear training isn't about accurate sounding instruments, it's about pitches.

 

Yes you're absolutely right. But for comparing pitches, chords, ... having close frequency shapes in notes are necessary for me as novice in ear training.

Windows "gm.dls" at "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers" is so bad and also "FluidR3 GM EarMaster.sf2" for EarMaster yield different soundings for each octave.

I have not tested well other instruments inside them but for the piano sounds, they're strange.

I don't have this problem using synths inside DAWs. I just want to focus on pitches not their characteristics or timbre at this time.

Please compare below sounds. Synth is perfect. Different interpretations would happen for me during training using windows midi.

Most people talk more about the triad chords and less the dyads (1 note dropped). Below ones (5th and 4th intervals) are my favorites forever. I don't know what magic is in them. Every time I play 5th and 4th, I am in a frenzy of joy.

u really don t know what u talk about,i m starting to think u r hopeless.Ear master is used in colleges,Auralia is used at berklee,but for u they have inaccurate soundfonts.maybe it s time that u learn what their purpose is.the tone quality is not so important there,and if u use earmaster with the piano soundfont u don t really care whether it sounds like a fazioli or a vertical piano,it does its job.But im pretty sure that,as u ve proven so far, u r attempting for the umpteenth time to show that for u most music related stuff is useless.U are lazy and don t want to learn.But the worst thing is that in your continuous efforts to find loopholes,u spend more time and energy than u d do by studying music,and i m sad to tell u that u,and i mean u in particular,can t learn anything without a serious guide,and by serious guuy i mean a physical person next to u that u pay to teach u, not the people who give u advices every now and tem on a forum

i m making an effort trying not to insult u, because u ve written something so stupid that s it s even ahrd to believe that someone might have thought it:according to your reasoning if u learned ear training on a piano u couldn t recognize intervals and melodies on a guitar or a flute or whatever.

 

You mean St Kouros? Please be careful! You're setting foot in a dangerous path!

 

no i dont mean him, he gave up trying to help u since it s a waste of time

 

Who said that? I am just trying to focus on a single instrument. Your advice is for my next step.

 

No, He is so generous and what he gives me is some kind of charity or poor rate.

 

ear training is universal,odesnt matter what instruent u use,it s not that u have to start over for every instrument

 

Who said that again? I am totally in agreement with you. But for comparing for example m2 and M2 intervals, I am comfortable with the synths sounds. If you'd notice, windows midi's sounds change abruptly almost every 8 notes that is a bit confusing for me.

Synth sounds are not jolly as real instruments but are 100% accurate. I mean by changing the notes, just their frequency is being shifted.

it doesnt change anything,the frequencies r the same

 

What do you mean by the same?

 

i give up, i told u to buy a harmony book, and someone even got mad because i suggested u that, deal with them, i won t say anything more

 

hmm ... for me there's always a choice between manual eartraining or app based eartraining .. is up to you actually
just no need to being too technical about the app itself ..

 

I use LoopBe internal midiports and send Earmaster to Kontakt for better sounding instruments..

But hey i also didnt like the sound of Auralia in my iPad (but those two program will do for training purposes best is to find a friend who you can practice with)
My guess is if they would use good sounding instruments it would be a very very big program and also most likely require a very powerful machine.
