What's New?

This is an early release! If you spot anything odd or have feature requests, please let us know!

Sheets are now a full-featured workspace for your musical documents. Create exercises and drills with the notation editor, transcribe solos and melodies, or build teaching materials with rich text instructions and embedded notation.

Attach a YouTube video or upload audio to practice alongside your sheet, add PDF scans for reference, tag and organize by instrument, key, and difficulty, and share publicly for other musicians to discover, comment on, and practice with.

Link a sheet to any video in your library and it appears on the video's page for quick access.

A brand new notation editor built from the ground up. Write music directly in the browser with point-and-click note entry, keyboard shortcuts, and a full toolbar for durations, accidentals, rests, ties, slurs, tuplets, and chords.

I built this as a kind of work of love which is a custom renderer and editor tailored to the needs of musicians who hate the clunkiness of traditional notation software.

Supports treble and bass clef (coming soon)/grand staff (coming soon), tablature for mandolin, guitar, bass, banjo, and violin, and professional engraving features including grace notes, dynamics, hairpins, articulations, fingerings, lyrics, tempo markings, key and time signature changes, repeat signs, volta brackets, navigation marks (D.S. al Coda, D.C. al Fine), rehearsal marks, and 8va/8vb lines.

Built-in playback lets you hear what you've written. Mobile-friendly with touch support for note entry and editing on the go. Your work saves automatically as you go.

All notation examples in courses now use the new custom renderer with higher quality engraving, playback, and tablature support. Stay tuned — this opens the door for some exciting interactive course content coming soon!

Practice Tools now has its own link in the header for quick access to courses, the metronome, and more. Look soon for more practice tools too! ;)

Courses are now available in Practice Tools. The first course, Basic Music Theory, covers notes, scales, rhythm, intervals, chords, progressions, arpeggios, and more with interactive notation and tablature. More courses are on the way — we're looking to collaborate with musicians on specialized topics. Feedback is welcome!

Three new ways to compete: Mastery rewards practicing at higher speeds, Diversity tracks how many unique videos you practice, and Helpful ranks users by likes and comments received on their shared content.

Leaderboards now show all ranked users with pagination, compact icon tabs, and remembered selections. An interactive rank history chart shows your progress over time with click-to-practice-log. Calendar days without practice are now clickable for adding notes, with corner indicators and hover tooltips for days with notes.

See how your leaderboard rank has changed over time with an interactive chart on the leaderboards page. The line color shifts based on your rank, star markers highlight when you hit #1, and you can click any point to jump to that day's practice log.

Import entire YouTube playlists by pasting a playlist URL on the playlists page. Sync anytime to pull in new videos that were added to the YouTube playlist. You can also mix in your own videos from your library — imported playlists are fully editable just like any other playlist. I also added new searching and sorting options for ease of use with large playlists.

Shared videos and playlists now show how many times they've been viewed.

Upload video files alongside audio files. Want to slow down your lesson recordings? Recorded a cool solo at a concert? Slow Down's got you covered. Videos play inline with full speed, pitch, and vocal controls. Pitch shifting and vocal reduce/enhance use a server-extracted audio track for clean processing at any speed.

Fine-tune pitch in 10-cent increments for uploaded audio and video files. Perfect for matching tracks that are slightly out of standard tuning.

YouTube Shorts URLs are now fully supported. Paste a Shorts link and it will be recognized just like any other YouTube video.

A new feature guide covers every section of the app with tips, keyboard shortcuts, and how-tos. Find it in Quick Links on your dashboard.

Check out hand-picked videos worth practicing on your dashboard, feed, or the new Featured page. Each featured video includes editorial notes and links to the original with all its markers and loops intact.

Reduce or enhance vocals in real time using a machine learning model that runs entirely in your browser. A neural network listens to the audio stream, builds a spectral profile of the vocal frequencies, and applies it on the fly — no server round-trip required. Slide toward Reduce to push vocals into the background, or toward Enhance to bring them forward. Works with both YouTube videos and uploaded audio. Requires the Slow Down browser extension v1.1.0 or later (should update automatically, or grab the latest from the Chrome Web Store).

Slow Down now detects the musical key of your videos automatically. Audio is captured by the browser extension, encoded, and analyzed server-side to determine the key. The detected key is displayed in the song info panel. Still in beta — results are generally accurate but may occasionally miss, especially with short clips or complex harmony. I'll keep refining it. Requires the Slow Down browser extension v1.1.0 or later (should update automatically, or grab the latest from the Chrome Web Store).

Automatic BPM detection for your videos. Like key detection, audio is captured by the extension and analyzed server-side. The detected BPM is displayed in the song info panel and stays synced with the speed controls — when you slow a track down to 75%, the BPM display updates to show the effective tempo so you always know exactly how fast you're practicing. Still in beta — accuracy is good for most tracks but may be off for very slow, very fast, or rhythmically complex pieces. Requires the Slow Down browser extension v1.1.0 or later (should update automatically, or grab the latest from the Chrome Web Store).

New dedicated Practice Tools area — a growing collection of tools to level up your practice sessions. Access it anytime from the dashboard. It's also available in the video player as a compact remote control.

A full-featured metronome with tap tempo, time signatures (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, and custom), subdivisions (quarter, eighth, triplet, sixteenth), multiple click sounds (classic, mechanical, woodblock, rimshot), swing control, accent/ghost/mute per beat, random mute for independence training, and a gradual tempo trainer that automatically increases BPM over time. Available standalone or as a compact remote control inside any video.
