Mute the drummer. You're on. BB Clicker is a practice app for drummers. Add your own songs, take the drums out, and play the part yourself, with a click that follows the song beat for beat. DEMIX YOUR SONGS Separate any song into drums, bass, or vocal stem, right on your device. One tap for No drums, No vocals, Rhythm section (drums and bass), Drums only or Bass only, or set every part yourself while the song plays. A CLICK THAT FOLLOWS THE SONG Every song gets a beat map when you add it, so the click lands on the real beat, even when the band speeds up or slows down. Accent on bar one, subdivisions if you want them. Half or double tempo, move bar one, nudge the offset, or tap along to fix odd meters. DRUM CHART BB Clicker writes out the drum part as notation: kick, snare, hi-hat, toms and cymbals, bar by bar on the beat grid. It follows the song as it plays, you tap a bar to jump there, and you can save it as a PDF. Best on an iPad on your music stand. It is a first draft written from the recording; check fills and ghost notes by ear. SLOW IT DOWN, LOOP IT Play at 50 to 125 percent speed without changing the pitch. Loop a section that snaps to whole bars, and let the speed trainer raise the tempo a little every time round until you are at full speed. A SERIOUS METRONOME - Sample-accurate clicks, loud and sharp enough to cut through cymbals - Gap click: the click drops out and you land back on it, or random silent bars - Up to 16 beats, accent groupings like 2+2+3, subdivisions up to sextuplets - Polyrhythm layer (3 over 4, 5 over 4 and more) - Speed trainer, tap tempo, saved exercises - Listen: hold your phone to music on a speaker and it finds the tempo YOUR LIBRARY, ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Add songs from Files or from your own music server, or record one from your own CD player or other audio source: plug it into the USB-C port with an audio adapter, press play, and BB Clicker records it in stereo, then stem-separates it and writes the chart like any other song. Without a cable it can also record from the microphone, though the sound is muddier. With iCloud, songs you have demixed appear on your other devices with the same Apple Account: demix once on your fastest one, practice anywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Analysis and demixing run on your device. No account, no upload, no ads.
