Practise singing: hear a phrase, then sing with the backing track
Start with a phrase where your entry, breath or ending feels uncertain. Listen for where the singer comes in, takes a breath and releases the last word. Leave a beat before the entrance and a little room after the ending when you set the loop; a single isolated word will not give you the shape of the phrase.
Listen slowly, then sing at the original tempo
Hear the line once at its usual speed. Then slow it down to find where the words land on the beat, where the singer pauses and where the next line begins. Slower playback helps you unpack the rhythm and word openings, but may change how the voice sounds. Return to the original tempo when you sing and check whether your entry, breath and ending hold together as a phrase.
An embeddable YouTube performance can be looped and slowed through YouTube's player. Some videos cannot be embedded, and its available speeds depend on YouTube. The app does not download YouTube audio.
Hear the vocal alone, then sing with the accompaniment
The YouTube example above only loops and slows playback; it cannot remove the vocal from a YouTube video. If you have a recording you are allowed to upload and process, Pro can separate its tracks. Choose Vocals Solo to hear the singer's entry, breath and release; then choose Vocals Play along to mute that part and sing with the remaining mix. The first accompaniment mix can take a moment to prepare, and some vocal sound may remain. See how track separation works.
Work on a short phrase before widening the loop to a verse or chorus. If you keep coming in late, include the preceding beat; if words bunch together, speak their rhythm before adding the melody. Vocals Solo lets you study the original; Vocals Play along lets you try carrying the phrase over the backing track. The app does not display synchronised lyrics.
What carries into tomorrow
Practice Mode remembers the video's last loop and speed in this browser. You can also name separate loops for a verse entrance and a chorus ending. The practice record counts elapsed playback time and the speeds you used, not your pitch or singing quality.
FAQ
Will removing vocals be perfect?
Not always. Dense arrangements and backing vocals may leave audible residue. Listen to the result before relying on it for rehearsal.
Do I need Pro just to loop and slow a song?
No. Looping and slowing an embeddable YouTube video are free without signup. Uploading your own file is free with a free account; splitting that file needs Pro.
Pick one line to loop and slow for free, then return to its original tempo. Singing with the vocal removed requires a file you may process and Pro.
