I was told there is a pc program out there that gives you an EQ and throws out random feedback frequencies that must be squashed with the EQ. Has anyone heard of anything like this, who could perhaps provide a link? I am a monitor engineer and am trying to perfect my ear while at home in order to get faster on the job.

Thanks

EDIT

I didn't understand your needs, sorry

I googled and found these:

Maybe not exactly what you're after but....

Hi audioroger!

Glad to hear of another monitor guy on the forum. Gee, however did you get out of Full Scale without knowing your frequencies? ;-)

Instead of using your computer maybe you could set up a rig in the shop or your basement and boost and cut them. It's important to get a feeling for how your own monitor rig reacts. For instance, the affordable EQ back in my day was a Yamaha 2031 and while it offered balanced connectors on it, the frequencies labeled on the front were "suggestions." While it may have seemed that 250 was ringing, pulling 315 on the Yamaha stabilized the box. So merely knowing what frequency was ringing was only part of the solution.

Playing with any EQ will help. Windows Media Player has an EQ. I know Wave Lab happens to have a frequency generator. Create short cuts of a certain frequency and create a playlist to play them back while you quiz yourself. I believe there maybe CDs with sweeps or seperate cuts of tones that may provide the same thing.

Good luck and enjoy learning!
