Version française : Sonodrill en français.

Sonodrill is an app to practice with audio, on iPhone and iPad. Import a song, a backing track or a recorded lesson, place marks where the sections start, then loop, skip and slow down exactly the parts you are working on.

The track library The player: waveform, marks, loop and skip zone Sound settings: speed, pitch, channels Practice options: count-in, pause, repetitions, progressive speed

What it does

  • Marks: placed while playing, named (Verse, Chorus, Solo…), adjusted by dragging.
  • Loops: between two marks, over a whole section or over the entire track.
  • Skip zones: jump over the parts you don't need, even inside a loop.
  • Speed from 0.5× to 2× without changing the pitch, and transposition by semitones without changing the speed.
  • Channels: left or right only, lowered center of the mix (often the voice), bass cut.
  • Practice: delay before playing, metronome count-in, pause between passes, number of repetitions, and progressive speed that goes up at each pass.
  • Sharing: marks export to a .sonodrill file to send to a teacher or a bandmate; they also sync between your devices through iCloud.
  • Open audio from other apps (Files, Voice Memos, Mail…), background playback and lock screen controls.
