About this app

Made by musicians, for musicians.

Riff Studio lets you build a setlist of the songs you want to practice, set their pitch and speed independently and before hand, so you can focus on playing your instrument or singing along!

You can also adjust the song parameters at any time and in real-time: either set the pitch without affecting the speed, change the speed without affecting the pitch, or adjusting both together. The pitch will be set in semitones, and the speed as a percentage of the original speed.

It also provides bookmarking and A-B looping functionality to go through those difficult parts until you get them right. You can also use the quick-jump feature to jump back to the last point you started playing from in a song, seamlessly.

Besides from the in-app experience, Riff Studio also lets you save or export the adjusted songs to your device in MP3 format.

Riff Studio is great for musicians practicing songs that require alternative tunings, or that are too fast to play along initially, and will help them get all the way to 250%.

The user interface is clean and touch targets are large, which enables an easy interaction that doesn't require fine motor skills, so you can focus your dexterity on the instrument you are playing instead of on operating the app itself.

Riff Studio is in continuous development, eager for to user feedback and feature suggestions. Please shoot me a line at brazzilabs@gmail.com with your ideas!

Features:
- Pitch shifting - change music pitch up or down in semi-tones
- Time stretching or BPM changing - change audio speed within an ample range of the original speed
- Provides high quality time stretching and pitch shifting, back-ported to support older Android versions
- A-B looper - mark a section of the song to loop indefinitely and practice the hard parts
- Save or export your adjusted songs as MP3 format
- Free with no restrictions on this music speed controller
- No need to wait for your local audio to decode, being able to play it instantly with real-time audio speed and pitch adjustment. Slow down audio speed or change music pitch instantly for several audio format types.

Please note that the songs you add need to be in your device.

Everyone should be using a metronome to practice. It is one of the most effective methods. but let's be honest. Most people never get themselves to use it. This is the next best thing. I use it all the time and encourage my students to use it if they're not using the metronome. Isolate the hardest sections in the music and loop them at a slow speed. Play the passage perfectly five time in a row, then speed it up 5% and repeat. It's a simple but almost bulletproof method for progress.

My MP3 players stopped working over 4 years ago. I was using the app even when they were working though. It's like having an MP3 player on your phone if you don't have that feature! Happy to have found this like listening to music while working out and at work so the ads on YouTube are very annoying. This is a great solution :)

Love this app. That being said, there are a few things I'd like to address about this app. I find it very difficult when it been away from it for a while to remember how to switch from marking mode to a /b mode. There should be clear instructions on their website. The simple operations of using the app are primarily shown on the YouTube video that flies by at such a clip that I'm not able to absorb. It could be a simple page on the site that points to all the different parameters. Works great!
