## What is Song Buddy?

Song Buddy separates any song into its individual parts — vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and more — so you can learn, practice, and play along like never before.

Powered by a native on-device AI engine, Song Buddy splits any audio file into up to 6 stems in minutes. No internet connection required. Your audio never leaves your device.

LEARN BY EAR
- Isolate any instrument to hear exactly what's being played
- See the bass line as a piano-roll — notes are detected automatically and scroll in time with the song
- Mute vocals and sing along, or mute the bass and play it yourself
- Slow down playback without changing pitch
- Shift pitch up or down to match your instrument or voice

PRACTICE SMARTER
- Loop any section of a song to drill the tricky parts
- Beat-detected metronome that follows the song's own tempo
- Built-in chromatic tuner — get in tune before you start
- Per-track volume, mute, and solo controls
- Waveform view with zoom for precise navigation

PLUG IN AND PLAY ALONG
- Connect your instrument or mic and hear yourself in the mix
- Built-in amp simulation with 3-band EQ and cabinet modelling
- Compressor and reverb for a studio-quality feel

BUILT FOR YOU
- All processing runs locally — no subscriptions, no cloud, no account
- Supports any audio format your device can read
- Saves your work as a portable files — open it on any of your devices

Whether you're transcribing a guitar solo, learning a bass line, drilling a drum fill, or just jamming along with a backing track — Song Buddy is your dedicated practice companion.

- Import from video — Bring in a video and Song Buddy extracts the audio, ready to split into stems or add as a track.
- Share & open from anywhere — Send audio or video straight from Photos, the share sheet, or "Open in" from other apps — Song Buddy takes it from there.
- iCloud sync — Your projects now live in an iCloud "Song Buddy" folder and follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Loops & regions, reworked — Create named regions, loop them cleanly with the non-looping area dimmed for focus, snap selections to the beat, and jump between regions faster.
- Bass notes — Detect the bass line and see it laid out as a piano-roll while you play along.
