I created this app on my Ocarina learning journey as I became aware how different breath pressure has to be for Low and high notes. I'm using it to try and perfect my notes, feel free to use it for your training too.

“I want to repeat just this one phrase.” “It’s way too fast to keep up.” — PractLoop solves the everyday frustrations of practicing an instrument. PractLoop is a music player built for musicians who practice. Import a reference track or your favorite song, and it instantly becomes your own personal practice material. That tricky solo, that lightning-fast riff — start by slowing it down and following along by ear. As you get comfortable, gradually bring the tempo back up. Loop just the few bars that trip you up. PractLoop puts the right way to practice one tap away. Perfect for - Beginners who can read the notes but can’t keep up with the real tempo - Anyone learning by ear or covering songs who needs to study the original closely - Players who want to lock in steady timing with a metronome - Guitar, bass, piano, drums, wind instruments, vocals — every instrument, every player Key Features - Speed Control (Pitch Preserved) Change the playback speed freely without altering the pitch. Slow it down to learn, then speed it up once you’ve got it — the key never changes, so it’s perfect for learning by ear. - A-B Loop Set a start and end point to repeat just the hard part, over and over — until your fingers remember it. - Step-Up Every time the loop repeats a set number of times, the playback speed rises automatically. “Start slow, speed up little by little” — PractLoop does it for you, all the way to your target tempo. - Preset Management Save the speed and loop section for each song. Open it next time and pick up right where you left off. - Metronome & Tap Tempo Keep your timing rock-solid. Don’t know the song’s tempo? Just tap the screen and PractLoop measures the BPM for you. - Practice Log Your playback time is recorded automatically. See today’s practice time, your streak, a monthly chart, and a by-track ranking — watch your practice add up. --- Turn today’s “I can’t play it” into tomorrow’s “I’ve got it.” Level up your practice with PractLoop. Supported formats: mp3/m4a/wav/aiff/flac/caf
