Mimu: Sax Practice & Record

Play along with the backing CD from your method book or with Apple Music songs, record yourself, and listen back right away. No computer or audio interface needed: a sax practice app that does it all on your iPhone. Why I made it Recording along with a backing track on an iPhone never gave me a good balance between the track and my sax, but setting up a computer and audio interface for every practice was a hassle. So I built Mimu to make recording and listening back quick and easy. How to use 1. Choose a backing track (imported CD audio, your Music library, Apple Music songs, or the metronome) 2. Record while listening to the backing through earphones (Bluetooth or wired) 3. Listen back with the backing track. Volume balance and timing are adjusted automatically, and you can fine-tune them by hand Key Features - Record along with a backing track Import MP3 files, songs from your Music library, or audio-only MP4 files as a backing track, and record your performance right alongside it. * Apple Music streaming-only tracks and DRM-protected files can't be imported as files. Use "Practice and record with Apple Music songs" below instead. - Practice and record with Apple Music songs Tap "+" in the backing library and choose "Find on Apple Music" to find and add songs, then practice and record along with your favorites. Change the playback speed, practice an A-B range, and when recording play the range once or on repeat. Only your own playing is saved — never the song itself. * An Apple Music subscription is required to play songs as a backing track (searching, adding and 30-second previews work without one). Transposition, EQ and reverb don't apply to the Apple Music song itself. - Listen back with the original Apple Music song Recordings made over Apple Music songs play back together with the original in the recording list, mini player and review screen. Switch to "your sound only" anytime, and use reverb and EQ on your own sound. Exporting and sharing include your playing only. - Keep your backing library tidy Filter by "All / Files / Music Library / Apple Music" and sort by date added or title to find songs faster. - Practice with a metronome Record your practice with a metronome even without a backing track. Fine-tune the BPM in increments of 1. - Tuner with transposition Open the tuner from the "Tuner" button on the recording screen to tune up before you practice. Set a transposition (for tenor sax, alto sax and more) to see note names as written in your sheet music. - Sound and timing adjustments in preview Add natural reverb when reviewing your recording. If the timing is off, you can manually correct it right from the review screen. - Automatic gain correction Acoustic instruments often record too quietly — Mimu automatically adjusts the volume to a comfortable listening level. - Practice mode & loop playback Loop just the phrase you're working on and repeat it as many times as you need. Move the A-B range with the thick bar and handles, and Mimu remembers the range for each song. - Favorites & rename Name and organize your recordings, and star your favorites so you can find them anytime. - Mimu Pro (in-app purchase) Unlock unlimited saved recordings and a 3-band EQ to fine-tune the low, mid, and high frequencies. Recordings made over Apple Music songs count toward the free recording limit. Mimu is a practice partner for anyone who loves playing an instrument and wants to get better.
