Live Player

In the Live Player, you can route whatever you want, like an external source (iPod, radio, instrument, another computer) or an internal source (iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud).

External Source

  1. Connect the signal you want to use to the inputs of your audio interface.

  2. Click on the Open SoundCard Options button and choose your audio interface as Input Device.

  1. Finally, choose the input channels you are using to route the signal.

Internal Source

In order to route audio from other programs running inside your computer, you need an internal router. We use BlackHole in OSX and VB-CABLE in Windows. Both are free and work really well.

OSX Internal Routing with BlackHole

First, install BlackHole.

  1. Download BlackHole to your computer.

  2. Open the dmg file.

  3. Launch BlackHole.v0.2.6.pkg to install it.

  4. Agree to the License terms and install it.

  5. Restart your computer.

Now, open TrainYourEars and route the signal.

  1. Choose BlackHole (16ch) as input in TrainYourEars.

  1. Alt+click on the volume icon of the menu bar.

  1. Choose BlackHole (16ch) as output in your system.

  2. Now any signal played in your computer should be routed to TrainYourEars.

Once you have finished your training, remember to select your normal output again.

If you hear noises try switching to ad_portaudio Core Audio driver instead. In certain computers, it works better than Core Audio.

Windows Internal Routing with VB CABLE

First, install VB-CABLE.

  1. Download VB-Cable to your computer. Scroll down until you see the orange DOWNLOAD button:

  1. Unzip the zip file.

  2. Right-click on VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe and choose Run as Administrator.

If your system has only 32bits, run VBCABLE_Setup.exe instead.

  1. Click on Install Driver.

  2. Restart your system.

Now, open TrainYourEars and route the signal.

  1. Choose CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable) as input in TrainYourEars.

  1. Right-click on the volume icon and choose Playback Devices

  1. Click on Cable Input and then on Set Default.

  1. Now any signal played in your computer should be routed to TrainYourEars.

Once you have finished your training, remember to select your normal output again.
