“When I was getting prepared for the audition, I was using the Moises App. I was slowing down some songs to make the learning process easier and more accurate and was truly prepared to play with them.”
Make your practice sessions much more efficient, precise, and interesting. Upload any song to the Moises app and choose your separation style. Mute the drums and play along with the other instruments—or listen to the isolated drum track to hear all the details and nuances you might miss otherwise.
According to Eloy Casagrande, “the slower you play, the faster you’ll master your inner tempo.” Slow down any song to improve your learning process, or speed up as much as you want and challenge yourself.
Moises’ AI-driven metronome instantly syncs its clicks to any track—even if you change the speed. Practicing with this tool ensures your playing remains consistent and coordinated with the other instruments.
Stuck on a tricky drum fill or pattern? For targeted practice, Moises AI quickly identifies the song parts that you need to loop as many times as necessary.
