Backing Buddy

AI Backing Tracks for Practice

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your backing band just got real: a rebuilt audio engine, tighter grooves, and every style now plays a full arrangement — intro, build, and an ending that lands. Your own band, ready to play whatever you're working on. Backing Band turns a chord chart into a real-sounding rhythm section — drums, bass, piano and guitar that actually groove — so you always have something musical to practice over. Lay out the changes to any tune, pick a feel, press play, and start soloing. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build any progression — enter the chords, arrange your sections (intro, verse, chorus, solo, turnaround…), and the band plays them back. • Pick a style — swing, bebop, shuffle blues, slow blues, classic & hard rock, funk, neo-soul, bossa nova, samba, reggae and more, each with its own groove, feel and arrangement. • Make it yours — set the key, tempo and feel; reshape the groove section by section; balance or mute instruments in the mixer. • Play and practice — loop the form, build your solos, lock in your time, and train your ears over a band that breathes. BUILT FOR PRACTICE, NOT A STIFF LOOP Real intros and endings, fills between sections, and a rhythm section that lifts behind your solo instead of looping the same bar. Whether you're shedding ii-V-I changes, grinding the 12-bar blues, or running a pop tune, the backing actually feels like players in a room. GENRES Jazz · Blues · Pop · Rock · Funk · Soul · Latin · Reggae — with a growing library of ready-to-play demo songs to start from or remix. FOR EVERY PLAYER Guitarists, pianists, horn and reed players, bassists, singers, students and teachers — anyone who learns faster with a band behind them. Download Backing Band and never practice to silence again.

This is our biggest sound update yet. We rebuilt the audio engine from the ground up and gave every style a real arrangement — so your backing band feels less like a loop and more like players in the room. A band that sounds real • Rebuilt audio engine — tighter timing, cleaner mix, and lower latency so the band responds the moment you hit play. • Smarter feel — grooves sit in the pocket, velocities breathe, and endings actually land on the ONE instead of drifting off. • Better voicings and comping across jazz, blues, funk, and Latin — closer to how a real player would lay it down. Every style got a real arrangement • Intros that set it up, choruses that build, and outros that finish the song — not just a chord loop on repeat. • New and reworked styles including smooth blues, boogie-rock, neo-soul, bossa nova, samba, and Latin jazz. • Fresh demo songs to explore each style, from "Neon Sunday" to "Copacabana Dusk" and "Havana Highball." Play and follow along • A segmented per-beat playhead so you can see exactly where you are, beat by beat. • The Library remembers your genre filter between visits. • Cleaner song info on the lock screen and now-playing controls. Plus a round of fixes to chart editing and playback. Thanks for playing — we can't wait to hear what you make.
