The Ear Test: which one is processed?
Six blind A/B choices from existing published recordings. Switch between A and B, choose, then reveal the original labels. Five effects appear here; Wild Thing has two different examples. Synth recordings have no invented dry side.
We record play and correct/incorrect totals through the site's existing event system. There is no score profile, email sign-up or audio upload. Separate browser players are time-aligned, not sample-accurate.

One phrase. Three choices.
Make three short treatments of a phrase you own: a restrained version, a more obvious change, and the one you would keep in the arrangement. Explain one setting that changed your decision. You can use the original MIDI exercises from our first-session guide, or your own material.
An ongoing practical invitation, with no entry fee, prize or promised feature. Sending an example does not require joining a mailing list. We review the material and your reuse choice before any public feature.
Have a recording question?
Share one short example you have permission to send and describe one decision you are trying to make. Our team can review the question through the existing support queue. Private feedback is the default; public reuse is a separate choice.
Please do not send confidential client recordings, patient material, passwords or a whole session. This is a production question, with no promised turnaround or guaranteed repair.
