Practice tools for YouTube
Loop a section, slow it down, zoom in for precision.
Playback
that suits your practice style — made for musicians learning by ear.
Free. No account. No tracking.
Create loop regions right on the YouTube timeline and play them on repeat — or one pass at a time. Drive it all from keyboard shortcuts designed to optimise your practice.
Expand your loop region into a magnified timeline and place the start and end exactly where they belong — down to the split second.
Shift-click the zoomed loop to drop practice marks. Click one and the loop plays from that mark while you drill it — click it off and you're back to the whole passage.
Move the whole loop region around at once — same length, no re-dragging both ends. Nudge it along with the keyboard, or just drag it wherever you need.
0.25× to 3× playback in fine steps. Take a difficult passage at a tempo you can actually play, then bring it back up.
Transpose the song up or down by up to 12 semitones without slowing it — play along in your range or match another instrument. Hold Shift to fine-tune in cents.
A metronome counts you in before the loop starts, so you come in on time. Set the tempo, time signature and how many bars.
Name and save loops per video — a save captures the loop, zoom, marks and count-in. Rename one or replace it with your current loop; it comes back next visit.
Your named loops ride your browser's own sync — save one on your laptop, find it on your desktop. No Étude account to make.
Three keys handle playback. Pick one and try it — right here on this page.
Étude collects no data. None of your activity is tracked, and nothing is sent anywhere by the extension.
