Riffstation Guitar Practice Software

Learning to play your favorite songs on guitar can be fun and extremely rewarding, however trying to figure out the chord tabs on your own can take a lot of time, patience and sometimes be very frustrating. Riffstation takes the frustration out of finding guitar chord tabs of your favorite records and makes it as simple as choosing a song your own music collection. Riffstation even shows you how and when to play each guitar chord in sync with the music; it™s like Guitar Hero for real musicians. The chord recognition technology in Riffstation will automatically calculate the chord accompaniment for any song in your music collection. It can detect Major, Minor and 7th chords with a high degree of accuracy. The accuracy is approximately 85% for basic rock and pop.

Change Key and Practice at Your Own Speed
Have you ever tried to learn or practice a song only to find it's in a key you don't know? Perhaps you like to sing too and you'd prefer to learn the song in a different key than the original recording. Wouldn't it be great to listen and learn a song from your music collection in a key that suits you? You can! With the pitch tool you can transpose by up to 12 semi-tones up or down in semi-tone increments.

Have you ever tried to learn a guitar solo or a riff that was just too fast to hear? Or maybe you want to build your speed or improve your technique and you'd like to practice scales and exercises at different speeds? Wouldn't it be great to have an app that lets you slow down your MP3s? Riffstation™s amazing slow down tool lets you slow down or speed up any song in your music collection without affecting the pitch. You can slow down as much as half speed, or speed up to double speed and everywhere in between. Our high quality time stretching algorithm ensures that the pitch and quality of the sound remain unaffected. Now you can learn and practice at your own speed.

Isolate Guitar Tracks and Learn from the Masters
Have you ever listened to a cool riff or solo and thought, I wish I could hear the guitar on it's own? With the Isolate tool in Riffstation, now you can! This awesome tool lets you find the guitar in the mix, and extract it right out so you can hear it in isolation.

If you want to be the guitar hero, you can mute the guitar in the mix and take the spotlight. Riffstation™s patented guitar isolation technology makes it possible on a lot of popular songs and when it does it's awesome.

Easily Transcribe Guitar Parts
It™s pretty easy to see how useful it can be to isolate and slow down guitar solos for learning and practice but it™s also very useful software for transcribing guitar parts and other instruments too. Maybe you need to transcribe a guitar part for your own band? Perhaps you'e a guitar teacher preparing transcriptions for lessons? Riffstation speeds up the transcription process... by slowing it down.

Loop Riffs with Perfect Timing
The tools above are all really useful for any guitar player and you'll probably use them regularly but one of the most useful tools in Riffstation is the loop tool. Almost all audio software has a loop tool but not like this. Riffstation uses automatic beat tracking to ensure that you can select any number of beats and the loop will lock perfectly and seamlessly to these beats. There's also a metronome tool that is especially useful if you are slowing down music but it doesn't end here.

Build New Riffs or Make Practice Loops
This tool gives you the power to create brand new riffs from the original audio from your favorite songs for you to jam with. Any track you load is automatically indexed into individual beats. You can place any beat from the song into any beat of your new jam sequence in any order, allowing you to make brand new riffs with exactly the same sound as the track you loaded. Riffstation will seamlessly and automatically blend the various beats together to create your new riff in real-time. You can change the pitch of any beat to create completely different melodies and riffs. Now you can have your favorite bands playing riffs of your own creation.
