Loopdrill is a music practice player for anyone who learns songs by ear. Bring in a track from Files or Apple Music, slow it down without changing the key, mark the passage you are working on, and loop it until it sits under your fingers. Core playback tools are free. There are no ads and no subscription. SLOW DOWN WITHOUT CHANGING THE KEY Play anywhere from 25% to 200% speed while the pitch stays exactly where it was. Slow a solo down to hear every note, then bring it back up step by step. LOOP THE PART YOU ARE PRACTISING Set A and B on the waveform and the section repeats until you stop it. Drag either handle to adjust the range. Long-press a handle or the playhead to move it at one-tenth speed with a magnified view, so a loop can start exactly on the downbeat. SEE THE SONG The full waveform shows the shape of the track. Tap to jump, drag to scrub, and use bookmarks to mark verse, chorus, bridge and solo so you can get back to them instantly. TRANSPOSE IMPORTED FILES Shift the pitch from -12 to +12 semitones to match your tuning, a capo position or a more comfortable vocal range. A 10-band equalizer with presets such as Bass Boost and Vocal helps you bring the part you are copying to the front. APPLE MUSIC AND YOUR OWN FILES Play songs from your Apple Music library, or import MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF and M4A files from the Files app. Speed control, loops and bookmarks work with both. Pitch shifting and EQ apply to imported files; Apple Music playback does not allow these two controls. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC On iPad the library and player sit side by side. On Mac you get keyboard shortcuts for play, seek, loop and lyrics, and file import from Finder. One download covers all three, and the Apple Watch companion controls playback from your wrist. LYRICS PRACTICE PRO (OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Follow timed lyrics, hold to select consecutive lines and loop a passage, and edit timestamps or the sync offset. Import multiple audio files or folders with matching LRC files. Try all Pro tools for 7 days using your own audio and LRC files that you have permission to use. Start the trial explicitly; there is no subscription or automatic payment. Your audio, lyrics and edits remain after expiry. Continue with an optional one-time Pro purchase at the displayed local price, or restore an existing purchase with the same Apple Account. Restoring does not restart the trial. Pro and trial availability depend on your App Store region. Pro includes practice tools, not a lyrics catalog or AI transcription. Who Loopdrill is for - Guitarists, bassists, pianists and drummers copying parts by ear - Singers working on phrasing and timing - Students preparing pieces for lessons and exams - Transcribers who need to hear every detail - Language learners who repeat audio in short sections Privacy: your audio, lyrics and bookmarks stay on your device. Usage statistics are shared only if you opt in.

About

BEAN VOICE

Features
Read full description

BEAN VOICE shows you what your voice is actually doing. Open a recording and it draws the pitch line over time, so you can see where you went flat, where you wobbled, and where the note settled. It marks which register you were in rather than guessing from loudness alone. It also reads how open your mouth was, how much air was in the tone, and where the energy sat in the sound. The Range view shows how long and how loud you held each semitone, and Tension by pitch shows whether your throat tightens as you go higher. None of that is a score out of ten. It is a picture of the take, so you can compare today with last week. Works with anything you have recorded, including the sound from a video. Live analysis draws the pitch of what you are singing right now; when you stop, play back what you just sang while the graph follows, and save it or send it to the full analysis view. The sound stays on this device and is never sent anywhere. Register, Formants and Spectrogram views are available in live analysis too. The Spectrogram draws louder sound brighter on a dark background, and you can change its colours and contrast. The same sound looks the same at any recording level. In the Spectrogram view you can also split the sound by harmonic number and listen to just those. Tap a number below the graph, or a harmonic line on the graph. It works on recordings you open and on what you just sang in live analysis. Ear Training sharpens your ear: intervals, chords, melody dictation, scales and modes, and rhythm dictation, plus sight-singing where you sing from a score and each note is scored for pitch and timing. Your practice records stay on this device. About the license The app works without a license: opening a recording, all six views, the measured values, playback, and live analysis with the Pitch view and playback of what you just sang are all free. A license removes the ad shown when you open the app, and turns on the AI analysis, the Register, Formants and Spectrogram views in live analysis, hearing harmonics in the Spectrogram, and Ear Training. BEAN VOICE 1 month license — KRW 12,000 per month, auto-renewing It renews at the same price unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can turn it off any time in Settings > your Apple Account > Subscriptions.
