Session Craft Practice local audio with stems, loops, and tempo control.
Session Craft turns local audio into a focused practice session: separate the mix, follow the waveform, loop hard sections, shift speed or pitch, read the chord timeline, and export a backing track when the session is ready.

Private rehearsal from real records
Stop fighting the full mix. Shape it into a session you can actually practice.
Session Craft keeps stem separation, backing track export, loop practice, tempo, pitch, BPM, chord regions, and follow playback inside one local desktop surface for musicians who need repetition with context.
The source stays yours
- Import MP3, WAV, and FLAC files and build the session around the recording you actually need to learn.
- The workflow is local by design: local files, local projects, private rehearsal material, and no upload-first practice loop.
- Guitar, bass, keys, vocals, and teachers all stay close to the original recording while changing loop, chord, pitch, speed, and mix decisions.
The mix becomes playable
- The free Community edition includes local import, stem playback, stem separation, speed and pitch control, A/B loops, and project save.
- Solo the part you need to study, lower the part you want to replace, or keep drums and bass in place for timing.
- The goal is not a laboratory remix. The goal is a practice mix that makes the next ten minutes more useful.
Repetition stays musical
- A/B loops, speed control, pitch shift, BPM detection, and chord regions live on the same timeline, so repetition does not lose musical context.
- Slow a hard phrase, transpose for the instrument, inspect chord movement, and bring tempo back only when the part is under control.
- Project save and backing-track export turn the session into reusable practice material instead of a one-off playback tweak.
Session Craft: free Community edition and optional advanced workflows
- Chord detection and backing-track export are optional licensed workflows.
- No subscription is needed for the desktop workflow, and no cloud account is required to practice a private rehearsal file.
- Use it when one saved session is worth more than juggling separate stem, slowdown, chord, loop, and export tools.

Audio import, loop regions, tempo control, stem separation, and chord context
Turn the recording into one local session for loops, slowdown, stem control, chord context, and backing-track export.
Workflow
-
When practice starts from a real recording
Load the local song, create loop regions, slow difficult bars without changing pitch, adjust stems, and keep notes attached to the session.
Reference: Slow Down Music Without Losing Pitch or Practice Context -
When vocals or drums get in the way
Mute, reduce, or isolate stems where available so the musician can rehearse a part, prepare a backing track, or focus on timing.

When tempo work needs more than a click
Keep metronome, tempo changes, loop points, chord context, and practice notes connected to the actual audio being rehearsed.

When a passage needs repeated focused work
Loop the hard bars, step the tempo back up gradually, and save the session so the next practice starts from the same setup.

When a rehearsal track must leave the app
Export a practice mix or backing track after the loop, tempo, and stem choices are ready for another device or rehearsal room.
