I'm wondering if there's another program or app out there that does the dichotic listening but switches it up so we could run it at the same time we do the stick and throttle simulator. I'm finding that my music degree is finally actually useful for once in this process! In college we would have to listen to like 8 bars of music being played on the piano, and then write down exactly what was played on a piece of staff paper. All we would get was the root note of the key the piece starts in and then the professor would start playing. Up to like 4 different voices being tracked that may or may not be in rhythm and you have to identify the pitch (not just odds or evens). Add on top of that time spent learning to mix music and being aware of the spatial-ness of stereo sound and identifying what to put where in the mix. For once... I feel like my education actually prepped me for something on this darn test because this is so much easier than aural dictation of music! Now if only I minored in engineering....I also would like to know about the question you asked about being conditioned for odds and evens in a specific ear. From what I gather, it's random and the listening portion in the sim isn't like the real astb. Unfortunate.
