Beat Scribe vs NoteTrace

A metronome you can compose. A metronome gives you a click. Beat Scribe gives you the whole rhythm — written on a staff, looping back, in real note values you can actually read. Hear a rhythm in your head? Tap it in and hear it back in seconds — quarters, eighths, sixteenths, triplets, dotted notes and rests, not abstract grid squares. That link between the symbol and the sound is the point: practise reading what you play, or sketch a groove without picking up the instrument. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Tap a rhythm live on the pads, or place notes on the staff for exact notation • Drop in beamed rhythm cells — two eighths, four sixteenths, dotted figures and more • Hit play and loop it back instantly • Layer parts across tracks — ride, snare, hi-hat, bass drum, toms and cymbals • Shape the feel of each track — swing or shuffle (8th- or 16th-note), or nudge a part ahead of or behind the beat for a human push and pull • Work in any meter — 4/4, 3/4, 5/4 and beyond • Keep time with the built-in metronome • Share any groove as a playable link — free, and it plays in any browser • New here? A short guided tour walks you through it, replayable any time • Made for iPhone and iPad MADE FOR Drummers, musicians, students and teachers — reading practice, building a groove, or catching an idea before it disappears. FREE & PRO The free version gives you snare and hi-hat across two tracks, plus sharing — enough to build and play a real rhythm. Beat Scribe Pro (one-time purchase) unlocks the full kit, more tracks, save / load, and importing your own sounds.

Every note you play flows across the staff. The app listens through your microphone and shows the note you're playing on a musical staff. The staff scrolls to the right, so your playing leaves a visible trail behind it. ■ What it does ・Shows the note you're playing on the staff, with its name ・Displays how far off the pitch is, in cents ・Colors the trail: green when in tune, orange when sharp, blue when flat ・Switches between treble, bass, and alto clefs ・Adjusts the reference pitch (415–443 Hz) ・Adjusts scroll speed and direction ■ For any instrument Strings, winds, keyboards, or voice. If it produces a single pitch, it works. The range covers low C (around 65 Hz) up through the high register. ■ Who it's for ・Anyone practicing intonation ・Anyone connecting the sound they make to its place on the staff ・Anyone checking the stability of long tones or vibrato ・Anyone who wants more than a number on a tuner ■ How to use it Open the app and it starts listening. There are no buttons to press. Allow microphone access and play. ■ Notes ・Designed for single notes. Chords and double stops are not supported. ・Audio is analyzed on your device. Nothing is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. ・Quieter rooms give more accurate results. If it isn't picking up your sound, adjust Sensitivity in Settings.
