Hello!

Is there music producers who uses ToneGym?
If you're a music producer, what practical use do you get from training relative pitch?

I've been using SoundGym for a year and I see the usefulness of those exercises, however I'm on the fence of starting another starting payed plan here.
Some people say - just transcribe real music and you'll get necessary skills for music, no need for relative pitch apps and websites.

What's your thoughts on this?

Improving your ear for intervals and chords help tremendously when producing music. You ears are your eyes for sound, so improving them let you see sound better. I can almost sing because of this app alone.

Just do it, you will reap the benefits

@Cuantas Vacas according to Wikipedia relative pitch means:
Relative pitch implies some or all of the following abilities:

1) Determine the distance of a musical note from a set point of reference, e.g. three octaves above middle C
2) Identify the intervals between given tones, regardless of their relation to concert pitch (A = 440 Hz)
3) Correctly sing a melody by following musical notation, by pitching each note in the melody according to its distance from the previous note.
4) Hear a melody for the first time, then name the notes relative to a reference pitch.
This is the meaning I was referring to, I've never came across another meanings to relative pitch related to music, so I don't understand the question about why asking my definition about it.

I know music theory and can identify different intervals and can name them up to an octave, I can identify simple chords like minor and maj, dim, aug. I had piano lessons with a private tutor who taught me all this for a few months.

To sing a simple melody with some basic intervals and transcribe won't take me much time to get notes correct. However, I produce music and rarely I had need to know the exact name of the interval that is used between to notes in a melody, however writing chords with good catchy voicings was always difficult to me, even I had a bit of relative ear training prior.
Congrats @Dropkick Powermann for winning the Golden Ears Award!

Someone should send a screenshot of the comments here direct into support. Dont think they can check all the comments. I remember I did gave them a suggestion for one of the sigh reading championship and they changed but again I wonder now as that was a while back.

They might be only working on guitarGym. You cannot even @ them here.
Is there an exercise that is JUST like this? This is what I need to train my ear to hear chord progressions. The daily training gives me grief.

You know you can select what appears in your Daily Workout, right? You can basically opt out of games you don’t think have value for you and just leave the ones in there that you would like.

@Petr Hartmann There are still lots of 404s on the site so I am not surprised.😁

@Josh Zaslow I do not know if you can if you are not a beta tester...😥

It is still in the testing phase and I do not know their plan for free. (or even when it goes live) If I learn I will post here.
