Slow without the shift.
25% to 300% speed, pitch locked. Every ghost note stays in tune.
There was never a shortcut, and there still isn’t. Bird, Trane, Wes, Jaco — they sat with the record and ran it back until the notes stopped hiding. Whether it’s a bebop head or a Hendrix solo, the language gets passed down the same way: not from a book, but from your ear to your hands. PhraseLooper doesn’t do the work for you. It just clears everything out of the way of it.
Slow it down. Loop it. Lift the line.
- 01
Find the phrase.
Drag across the waveform to grab the bars you're chasing — a lick, a turnaround, a whole chorus.
- 02
Slow it down.
Drop to a quarter speed with the pitch locked dead-on, so you hear the inner voices and the articulation — not a chipmunk.
- 03
Loop till you hear it.
The phrase repeats, seamless, as many times as it takes. Your ear does the rest.
- 04
Make it yours.
Mark it, write the fingering right on the timeline, save the loop. Tomorrow you pick up where you left off.
Built for the woodshed.
Loop any segment.
Drag out a phrase on the waveform; it loops clean. Save as many as you want per tune.
Tune to the track.
Nudge the pitch to match your horn, or transpose to a friendlier key.
Find the part.
Pull the EQ to spotlight a register — boost the lows to chase the bassline, cut them to hear the comping.
Map the tune.
Drop section, bar, and beat markers. Jump straight to the bridge or the shout chorus.
Write where you hear it.
Pin notes and chord symbols on the timeline — “watch the triplet,” “Db7alt here.”
Everywhere you practice.
iPhone in the practice room, iPad on the stand, Mac at the desk. Your library and your loops sync across all three.
