Understand Every Sound Coming Out of Your Speakers & Headphones
Developed by musician and audio engineer Rob Cavill, RJC Audio creates the SONICS software suite to build your listening intuition, overcome real-world acoustic restraints, and give you clear, actionable feedback to accelerate your audio journey.
The Founders Edition is live. Master the most fundamental skill in audio—understanding exactly what you hear before reaching for another plugin.
SONICS Ear Training
There is no point buying loads of plugins if you cannot hear what they are actually doing. SONICS Ear Training is a multi-purpose tool that develops the most fundamental and important skill in audio: truly understanding the sound coming out of your speakers or headphones.
Built for Musicians, Engineers, Producers & Anyone Working in Audio
Buying another EQ or effect plugin will not fix a mix if your ears cannot hear the subtle change. SONICS Ear Training is built for anyone keen on becoming a better musician, audio engineer, or producer—training your critical listening with real-world training formats and providing detailed, intelligent feedback on how to improve.
Frequency & Tone
Identify resonant peaks, harshness, and mud on real instruments without looking at visual analysers.
Mix Level Balancing
Train your ears to detect sub-decibel level changes across vocals, drums, bass, and guitars down to ±0.25 dB.
Stereo & Frequency Cutoff
Master Left-to-Right stereo placement and hear exact high-pass and low-pass filter cutoff frequencies.
EQ Curves & Diagnostic Feedback
Replicate EQ curves by ear and receive deep diagnostic telemetry explaining your exact listening tendencies and how to improve.
Educational Licensing & Department Deployment
Built from 23 years of delivering vocational and A-Level Music Technology courses, RJC Audio software provides department-wide critical listening rigor, classroom monitoring clarity, and objective progress tracking.
Purpose-Built for Music Technology Tutors, Students & Labs
Music Technology educators face distinct hurdles: multi-workstation computer suites, mixed student backgrounds, and syllabus requirements where mixing balance, frequency discrimination, and critical listening directly impact student grades. An RJC Audio educational license equips your institution with practical software designed from more than two decades of classroom delivery.
What Your Institution Receives:
- ✓ Multi-seat deployment across Mac computer labs and recording suites
- ✓ Complete drill modules: Peak Master, Balance Engineer, Pan Professor, Filter Doctor & EQ Correct
- ✓ Cohort diagnostic telemetry revealing frequency blind spots and level tendencies
- ✓ Classroom headphone streaming integration with SONICS Stream to bypass room acoustics
- ✓ Flexible procurement supporting institutional Purchase Orders (PO) and invoicing
Institutional Licensing Frameworks
Whether you need a dedicated computer suite setup, personal licenses for student homework, or a complete department package, RJC Audio offers three tailored licensing structures:
Direct Syllabus Alignment
Designed specifically for vocational (BTEC) and A-Level Music Technology modules—drilling the essential EQ detection, mix balancing, and acoustic discrimination required for coursework units and exam listening papers.
Classroom Acoustic Bypass
Eliminate the barrier of untreated classrooms and compromised speaker positions. Paired with SONICS Stream, broadcast full-band stereo DAW audio and talkback microphone directly into student headphones.
Actionable Student Analytics
Move beyond guesswork. Detailed diagnostic analysis shows teachers precisely which frequency ranges or level increments students struggle with, providing clear data to inform targeted lesson planning.
Educational Pricing & Tailored Department Consultation
Every educational institution operates with different cohort sizes, lab configurations, and academic cycles. Educational license pricing is customized to your institution's specific cohort size, lab workstation count, and academic requirements, and is available upon direct contact with Rob Cavill. We gladly accommodate academic Purchase Orders (PO), department invoicing, and multi-year renewals.
SONICS Stream
Designed for everyone working in audio—whether you need a high-quality one-to-one connection over the internet, or a one-to-many broadcast to overcome rooms with poor acoustics or poor monitoring.
One-to-One Remote Audio & Video
If you need a direct one-to-one connection with someone over the internet, SONICS Stream provides a high-quality audio and video connection all in one, with ultra-low latency monitoring (requires Tailscale installed on both endpoints). Perfect for remote production, mix reviews, tracking sessions, and one-to-one audio tuition.
One-to-Many Group Broadcasting
Designed for the education sector—ideal for classrooms, music technology suites, masterclasses, and project studios with poor acoustics, poor monitoring setups, or both. Broadcast full-band stereo DAW playback and a live talkback microphone simultaneously straight into everyone's headphones.
Pristine Sound Transmission for Every Audio Workflow
Whether working with a remote client across continents or teaching a group in an untreated room, SONICS Stream delivers broadcast-grade audio without requiring expensive hardware or messy virtual audio cables.
