Hi
I'm trying out the product, it looks great but I can't make it work for what I want....training on bass guitar.
Maybe I have not set up the program correctly?
questions are:
1)I did select bass guitar, but when I play the answers the program doesn't seems to register my signals even though I can see that the microphone levels are picking up the tones. Always says wrong answer even though I know I'm playing right notes.
2)Question also come in treble cleft which of course I am unable to play on bass.
3)I like to tune my bass down to D G C F how do I configure this?
I think the problem is more than the fact that I'm using a bass...my wife is an advanced violinist, and setting up for that,we could not make it work either.
Note: clapping to the microphone did work in the rhythm studies.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello,
When you set up your microphone/bass in the microphone Tuning Wizard of EarMaster, don't leave the set up window before the tones you play are displayed correctly in the grey preview box. If they aren't recognized at that stage, they won't be recognized later in the exercises either.
Things to keep in mind when setting up the microphone:
* The input level should reach between half way and 2/3 of the meter.
* The sensitivity level (step 3) is very important and varies with each microphone/instrument/voice.
* Play with the different harmonics recognition algorithms (even/odd/both) at step 4 and find the one that works best with the current instrument.
* After setting up the microphone, the microphone input must still be activated in the exercise. To do that, simply toggle the microphone icon on at the bottom right of the EarMaster window.
The microphone input part of EarMaster is primarily for the voice, but it should work great with guitar and bass among other instruments.
If you don't want to train wiht the treble clef, go to the Exercise Settings menu and choose the bass clef under Clef.
To make the pitch detection easier for EarMaster, you can also activate the option Any octave in Exercise Settings>Answer Identification.
Finally, you can create your own tunings in EarMaster. Thsi is done there: Answer Input>String Tuning>Custom. Notice however that there is little chance the program will be able to detect the low D.
