Get started

Open the practice app and allow microphone access when your browser asks. Play a few clear notes so you can check that the app is picking up your bass. If you use an audio interface, check that your system has selected its input.

Tune your bass

Start the tuner and choose A, D or G. Play one string at a time and adjust towards the centre. To tune the E string, fret it at the fifth fret and tune that note using the A target. You can change targets while the tuner is running.

Play an exercise

Choose an exercise and set a comfortable tempo. The count-in gives you time to get ready. Follow the written notes and rests, and listen for the beat. Start slowly enough to play the whole phrase comfortably.

Read your results

Pitch

How close your notes were to the intended notes.

Timing

How close the start of each note was to its intended place in the beat.

Note length

How long you held the note compared with the exercise.

Pick one thing to work on in the next take. If your notes land late, try the same phrase at a slower tempo and listen to how each note starts against the click.

Look back in Log

Use Log to revisit saved practice. Look for the exercise and tempo you used so you can put the result in context.

Follow progress in Trends

Start with a musical practice group, then look at how your measurements change across sessions. Pay attention to tempo and exercise difficulty when comparing results. A lower result on a harder session can still be useful practice.

Compare two takes

Use Compare to see what changed between takes. For a clearer comparison, choose takes with similar settings and focus on one measurement at a time.

Back up your practice history

Your history is stored in this browser. Export a backup before clearing browser data or moving to a different browser or device. Keep the export somewhere you can find it, then use the app’s history import to restore it when needed.

Troubleshoot

The app can’t hear my bass

Check the site’s microphone permission and the input selected in your system settings. If you use an interface, check its gain and cable connection, then play a single clear note.

My history looks empty

Check that you’re using the browser profile and site address where you saved your practice. If you moved to a new device or profile, import your history backup.
