Volume sound on first beat

[Guest]

Hi

In the rhythm reading and rhythm imitation exercises, when you listen to the question, you notice that the sound played on the first beat is slightly louder than the rest, however, while you playing your answer, all sound the same.

Could be possible to raise the volume of the sound on the first beat when you play it?

It is not so easy for EarMaster to know what the first beat is, when it looks at a rhythm clapped by the user. Is the clap for the first beat a little late, it could also be the second beat that was hit to early.
I agree that it would be great if EarMaster made the same accents in the rhythm clapped by the user as it does on the rhythms made for the questions. We will consider to include that feature in a future version of EarMaster.

Best regards,

Accenting the first beat can make rhythm exercises easier to follow, especially when practicing timing and keeping a steady tempo. Clear differences in volume help train the ear to recognize patterns more naturally. The same principle applies when working with different audio effects and sound buttons at https://soundboardbuttons.com/.
