Aaron. Yes. However do you have suggestions of mac software built this way?

Equal Tempered ear-training is essentially flawed - sonicraft

While I agree that most intervals will sound out of tune to varying degrees, I disagree that this will prevent anyone from hearing the intervals.

8's are perfect. P4's & P5's will be VERY close to in-tune (with slow beats). Yes, the rest will be off compared to simple pitch ratios. BUT we do live in a culture that MOSTLY adheres to an equal tempered scale-- so it IS valuable to learn intervals this way, out of tune as most of them are.

If you are suggesting that the student who is a complete novice with intervals would have an easier time "cutting their teeth" with simple frequency ratios, perhaps this software could have a preference to sound intervals this way.
