Hi KVR,
I’m building Reverie Mix, a browser-based ear training app for producers and audio engineers: https://reveriemix.com (https://reveriemix.com)
It’s a web app, not a plugin. There’s a free tier, and an optional paid pro tier.
The focus is mix ear training, not musical ear training. So not intervals, chords, sight singing, etc. It’s about hearing things like EQ, compression, stereo width, phase, high-pass filtering, loudness, etc.
I built it because a lot of mixing advice comes down to “use your ears,” which is true but not very useful by itself. If someone can’t hear what a compressor attack setting is doing yet, telling them to use their ears doesn’t give them a way to practice.
Current exercises:
1. EQ boost frequency identification
2. Compression attack
3. Compression release
4. Stereo width
5. Phase / comb filtering
6. High-pass cutoff matching
7. Loudness matching
The thing I’m trying to get right is controlled practice: short rounds, clear A/B comparisons, level matching where it matters, and feedback after each answer.
I’m mainly interested in whether this kind of controlled practice feels useful to people here, and which exercises feel artificial or badly calibrated.
I’m the developer, so feel free to be blunt. I’d rather hear “this exercise is pointless” now than spend months polishing the wrong thing.

I suggest to replace loudness matching with (de-) masking tests because there's more research available on the latter and user devices have less influence on such a test as well. Research on loudness is very patchy, most mechanisms are still unknown.

Oen thing I found interesting in Izotope Ozone was the guide to where mastering most often land in regarding to amount in each frequency range.
- whether vinyl or cd or else

I enclose a pic

Overall I wonder how many have good enough listening on computer towards internet?
- any calibration for user to device he uses "make these two frequencies appear same level" kind of thing
- but not tested your service

I was testing different phones on a place years ago regarding this, search hear test online or similar. Maybe something to make better results.

Here is one that is useful
