You can side-scroll with your cursor in the main window, of click-and-drag in this smaller, full-song view below. There are also semi-transparent A and B sliders which you can use to define the section of the song you want to work on, and/or loop. Between these controls and the main view is a bar which shows the playhead’s position in the song, and on the left is displayed the time position of the playhead, and on the right, the time remaining. Any value you set here is remembered next time you open AnyTune with that song.Īt top right there are three view buttons with choices Wave (which shows a zoomed-in section of the song), EQ and Lyrics.Īlong the bottom, there are controls for marks you set to help you navigate, volume, transport controls and a cluster for controlling looping. The value it lands on is displayed in the centre of this little panel, and you can Control- or right-click on this to choose a value yourself, or select Set Tempo and type in the value you want this functionality works the same for Pitch. The one on the left is for speed faster and slower, and the one on the right is for pitch, which means you can adjust a song to suit your tuning, the key you sing in or whatever. They open in Preview so you can print them out, which is a thoughtful touch.Ībove the central transport controls at the bottom there are two little panels with plus and minus signs either side of them (above). These are listed in the Help Menu, luckily. Interface - AnyTune is for serious users, and the developers recommend you learn some of the keyboard shortcuts to help you learn songs more easily. Anytune picks up the Beats Per Minute (BPM) value that’s recorded with iTunes – if no value is recorded there, Anytune works it out. Load up a few songs to learn, and then you can work on them as a playlist, one after another. A square button at top right (it has a musical note in it) lets you hide or reveal this waveform view – hiding it shows the iTunes lists and playlists again. There’s a Play button at bottom centre (the Spacebar start/stop from iTunes, GarageBand, QuickTime etc also works to do this) and the song starts to play. If it is already clicked, you need to turn it off and on again, launch Anytune and a confirmation will check that you want to give Anytune permission to open these files.ĭouble-click a song from the iTunes media (or, if you’ve drag-and-dropped a track from elsewhere, this will display the same) and a wave form view appears in Anytune’s main window. Click the Advanced tab, and turn on the option to Share iTunes Library XML with other applications. To do this, you need to quit Anytune, open iTunes, open iTunes’ Preferences. Get a track in - You can import a music file by dragging and dropping it onto Anytune in the Dock, or let Anytune access iTunes to access your iTunes library and playlists directly. Now the Mac version is here (some of you may be familiar with Anytune Pro Plus for iPad) and it’s a little like the longstanding – and much simpler – Amazing Slow Downer updated for 2016 with many improvements. Visually Anytune is something like the music playing part of of Tunes but it has extra features to help you learn existing songs.
New software for Mac helps you learn tunes like nothing ever helped you before. (You can click on these pictures for a zoomed-in closer view)
