Turn your music into a live remix. BeatRemixer lets you rearrange and perform your tracks on iPhone and iPad. Load a song, explore its eight-beat phrases, and build a new arrangement by moving, repeating, and combining your favorite sections. Keep the original track alongside your remix, jump between phrases during playback, or queue them to play in sequence. Similar phrases are grouped and labeled, making it easy to find variations and try different combinations. Add your own touch with hands-on performance controls. Loop a section, jump between beats, change tempo and pitch, and trigger effects and samples as the music plays. Features include: • Automatic BPM detection with manual tempo and beat-grid adjustments. • Drag-and-drop phrase arrangements with repeats and looping groups. • Live phrase switching and playback queues. • Beat jump pads, loop controls, pitch adjustments, effects, and samples. • Optional colored waveforms showing low, mid, and high frequencies. • Batch BPM analysis to prepare your downloaded music library. • Undo and redo, with arrangements saved automatically for each track. • Layouts designed for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. • Supports new iPhone Duo, opened and closed, in both portrait and landscape. • Record live remixes and manage recordings. Import audio from Files or choose compatible downloaded songs from your Music library. DRM-protected tracks, including Apple Music subscription downloads, are not supported.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beat Remixer at none against ChordBaker's 5. ChordBaker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
