I'm not sure if the bug is with EarMaster or with the VST plugins, but sometimes the notes heard are one octave away from the solution. I found this problem with other programs using the VST plugins like Finale too (where chords are inverted and such when not supposed to be), so I think the problem ...

For the inteval exercise settings (especially for harmonic), please allow the lower limit for the root to be at least one octave lower than is currently allowed. There are a lot of low bass notes we hear in every type of music.

Can someone recommend some good choir synthesizers that I can connect to EarMaster (via loopBe1 or MIDI Yoke)? It would be very interesting to do these exercises with vocal pitches. Transcribing vocals is usually harder than instruments so it is a much needed exercise for me.

This is what I do, which has been allowing me to get at least 8 out of 10 correct: First guess what type of chord it is, and use this as a guideline (but be flexible with the next steps, in case you are wrong about which type it is). Now try to pick out just one note. Then try to pick out a second n...

Anyway we can practise this with EarMaster? In the meantime, I am creating my own exercises with one-measure random compositions lik...
