Loopdrill is the ultimate music practice companion for musicians, students, and anyone learning songs by ear. Import your favorite tracks, slow them down, adjust the pitch, and loop difficult passages until you nail them. Speed Control -- Keep the Pitch Adjust playback speed from 25% to 200% while keeping the original pitch intact. Slow down blazing solos note by note, or speed up a ballad to challenge yourself. The pitch stays locked so every note sounds exactly as it should. Pitch Adjustment for Imported Files Shift the pitch up or down in semitone steps, from -12 to +12. Transpose a song to match your instrument's tuning, practice in a different key, or match a capo position -- all without re-recording anything. Section Looping Drag loop handles directly on the waveform to mark the section you want to repeat. Whether it's a tricky chord progression, a fast riff, or a subtle vocal run, loop it as many times as you need until it clicks. Lyrics Practice Pro · Optional one-time purchase Import LRC files or paste lyrics you have permission to use. Follow timed lines, select consecutive lines to loop, and edit timestamps or the sync offset. Lyrics without timestamps remain readable text until you add timing. Try the original sample before buying and restore purchases with the same Apple account. Pro unlocks practice tools; it does not include a lyrics catalog or AI transcription. Lyric availability and accuracy vary by song. Playback, speed controls, time A–B loops, waveform and bookmarks remain free. Pitch and EQ for imported files are also free. Lyrics Practice Pro is a separate, optional non-consumable in-app purchase with no subscription. The price for your region is shown before purchase. Bookmarks Drop bookmarks on key moments in a track -- verse, chorus, bridge, solo. Jump between sections instantly so your practice sessions stay focused and efficient. 10-Band Equalizer for Imported Files Shape the sound with a full 10-band EQ. Choose from presets like Flat, Bass Boost, Vocal, and Treble Boost to emphasize frequency ranges, highlight bass lines, or bring vocals to the front. Waveform Visualization See the entire song laid out as a waveform. Tap anywhere to jump to that point, and always know exactly where you are in the track. Flexible Audio Sources - Import audio files from the Files app - Access your Apple Music library Pitch adjustment and EQ are available for imported audio files. Apple Music playback does not support these two controls. Apple Music's in-app lyrics are not always available to Loopdrill; online lookup and lyric import provide additional options. Who Loopdrill is for: - Musicians learning songs by ear - Instrument students practicing difficult passages - Language learners using audio repetition - Transcribers capturing every detail - Anyone who wants to hear music at their own pace Stop rewinding. Start practicing. Loopdrill turns any song into a practice track.

Blue counts the practice you do alone. Most of the time you spend with an instrument, you are on your own. Even with a teacher, the rest of the week is you and the room, and nobody knows how much you put in. BluePick counts that time and shows it stacking up. ■ Just leave the metronome running while you practice and today's session logs itself. One second is enough to count. Nothing to write down. The tuner and timer are free too. ■ Run it from your wrist with Apple Watch Leave your phone on the music stand or in your pocket and control the metronome from your Apple Watch. Turn the Digital Crown to set the tempo, and pick the time signature and rhythm right on your wrist. The sound stays on your phone while the watch works as the remote. Turn on beat vibration to feel the pulse through your wrist even with earbuds in, and when you stop, the watch tells you how long you practiced today. ■ Add sound and photos to a log Tap a date on the calendar to record right there, or upload a recording you already have. Add a photo and a note. Play it back later and that day is still there. ■ My practice universe Every day you practiced becomes a star. See the days and hours you have built up at a glance. It is a picture only someone who showed up alone can have. ■ Blue's recording feedback Record your playing and Blue listens and talks it through with you. What worked, and the next single step, across rhythm, tone, and expression. ■ Ask Blue anything Practice tips, lyrics, chord progressions, composing, music theory. Any genre, thought through together. ■ Finish one whole song Blue guides you step by step until a song is complete, showing how far you have come each time. ■ Alone, then together Watch people who play your instrument, share your own songs, and ask what you have been wondering. Find bands by instrument, area, and genre, book lessons, and discover rehearsal rooms and nearby shows on the map. ■ Train your ear while having fun Sharpen your ear with ear-training games and dungeon quests, and keep your streak going while collecting titles. Playing alone, without being alone. Keep making music today with BluePick. 이용약관(EULA): https://bluepick.app/policy?tab=terms 개인정보처리방침: https://bluepick.app/policy?tab=privacy
