DaCapo Studio
Read full descriptionHide full description
DaCapo Studio is an integrated music practice environment for musicians who learn by listening and playing. Start with a song, break it down, understand what you hear, isolate the part you want to learn, and practise it at your own pace. Search Apple Music, import your own tracks, or use Shazam® to identify music around you. DaCapo Studio turns your music into practice projects where sections, loops, analysis, notes, recordings and practice tools stay together. Organise projects into groups for setlists, lessons, workshops or your own music collections. Separate instruments and build your own practice mix. Isolate a part to hear it clearly, reduce or mute it to play the part yourself, then combine your mix with looping, pitch-stable slowdown, metronome and Practice Assistant. Focus on the difficult parts. Create named song sections and practise them with A-B repeat, slowdown, loop playback and fast navigation. Practice Assistant can guide you through sequences with changing tempo, loops, metronome settings, layouts and instrument mixes. Built for playing, not just tapping. Performance Mode provides larger controls and quick actions for easy access while you play. On iPhone, a dedicated landscape Performance View offers an even more focused, customisable control surface. See what’s happening in the music. Analyse tempo, key, chords, beats and musical structure. Melody / Beat Track visualises melodic and polyphonic information, chords, beats and drum events. Separated instrument tracks can also be analysed individually. Practice tools within reach. Use synced lyrics and notes, multiple metronome modes, tuner, SPL meter and recorder. Review recorded practice sessions and keep projects and recordings available across devices with iCloud. Designed for teachers too. Share individual projects or complete project groups with students, receive recorded practice sessions through AirDrop®, iMessage, email or NFC touch, and return ratings, remarks and notes that appear during project playback. Imported projects can be merged with existing work, making it easy to exchange exercises and practice recordings. And when you just want to listen, JukeBox creates Dynamic Playlists for a personalised, ad-free listening experience. Optional hourly news streams can keep you informed without interrupting the music. Whether you’re learning a riff, studying a drum groove, preparing a setlist, removing your own instrument to play along, teaching a student or working through a complete song… DaCapo Studio keeps listening, analysis and practice together in one place. Listen. See. Practice. Play. DaCapo Studio offers optional in-app purchases to unlock Premium features.

SLOW-MO TEMPO Drag the playback rate from 0.25x to 2x. That impossible solo? Suddenly very possible. LIVE CHORDS, KEY & BPM The app listens along and shows you the current chord, the song's key, and the tempo while it plays. No tabbing through forums. BRING YOUR OWN MUSIC MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, AIFF, ALAC - pull files straight from iCloud Drive or your device. Your playlist syncs across iPhone and iPad.

A NOTE ON ACCURACY The key, chord, and BPM readouts are smart estimates to help you start - your phone's best guess, not gospel. They're occasionally off, especially on busy or unusual recordings. Trust your own ears too. So grab your instrument, find a track you've been chasing, and play along.
