COUNT IT TO YOUR MUSIC • Import your routine mix from Files (MP3, M4A, WAV or AIFF) • Tap along to set the tempo, then tap on count 1 to mark the one • Every 8-count lines up with the track, and a waveform ribbon shows where you are • Fit the routine length to the song in one tap BLOCK SECTIONS, CUE COUNTS • Tape each section across 8-counts: opening, standing tumbling, stunts, pyramid, dance • Put moves, hits and sound effects, voice-overs and notes on exact counts, including "and" counts • The downbeat of every 8-count is marked so the 1 is easy to find • No music yet? Plan the count sheet at any tempo first REHEARSE ON THE FLOOR • Start from any 8-count with a spoken 5-6-7-8 count-in • A giant live count and beat bar you can read from across the gym • See the cue happening now and the one coming next • Routines without music play a click track • Keep rehearsing with the screen locked • Apple Watch remote: see the live count on your wrist and play, pause, or jump one 8-count HAND IT OFF • Share a printable count sheet PDF that grows each row to fit your notes, so nothing overlaps • Includes a producer hit list with the track time of every hit and voice-over PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking.
