Here you can modify your Audio and MIDI preferences:

Custom Levels*

Custom Levels

You can easily create your own custom levels.

To create a new level, simply click "+" in the bottom left corner of the window and choose the desired exercise. By default, the name "New Level" is used, but you can change this directly within the window. Simply double-click on a name at any time in order to change it. You can then choose which elements you want to include in your level using the list on the right hand side.

In order to delete a level, select it from the list on the left hand side and then click "-".

Synchronisation

Synchronisation

This feature allows you to keep your Macs and iOS devices in sync at all times. Currently only synchronization via Dropbox is supported. Therefore, you need an Dropbox account to use this feature.

Click on the checkbox "Dropbox sync" to connect to Dropbox and activate the function. Then your browser will open to authenticate yourself with Dropbox and to grant Better Ears access.

After successful authentication, you can select the areas you want to synchronize:

Note: The individual databases (such as statistics) are not merged, but transferred as a whole. This means that if you are working on 2 devices (eg iPhone and Mac) at the same time, conflicts can occur. In this case, Better Ears will show a dialog, which gives you the ability to solve them:

Sync-Konflikte lösen

In this dialog all areas are listed in which conflicts have occurred during the last synchronization. Select the corresponding area in the upper list and then choose from the buttons below if you prefer to use the data from your Mac or Dropbox. Once all conflicts are resolved, the dialog closes by itself.
