GigShed: Stems, Chords & Key

GigShed turns any recording you already own into a complete practice studio. Split a song into drums, bass, vocals, and "other," then mute or solo any part, slow it down, change the key, loop sections and build a chords-and-lyrics chart to learn it — all offline on your device.

WHY GIGSHED
Most tools that do this rent themselves to you by the month and ship your music off to a server. Or they have only one or two of these practice tools. GigShed does the whole practice loop in one app, on your iPhone or iPad, for a single price — no upload limits, no server lag, nothing to sign up for. It works on a plane or at your Grandpaw's with bad Wi-Fi.

SEPARATE & MIX
• One tap (and a couple minutes of waiting) splits any song into four stems: drums, bass, vocals, and everything else.
• Mute, solo, and set the volume of each part.
• Kill the vocals to sing it yourself, solo the bass to lock in a line, or drop the drums to play along.
• Finally hear the guitar part the vocal was masking.

CHANGE KEY & SPEED
• Move the key up or down in semitones to fit your voice.
• Raise the key on a song recorded in Eb so you don't have to de-tune your guitar
• Slow a tricky passage to a crawl — or speed it up — with no "chipmunk" or "underwater" artifacts.
• Key and speed are independent and change in real time.

LOOP & DRILL
• Loop any section with A/B markers that snap to bars and beats.
• "Loop 8 bars" in one tap, add a beat-locked metronome and a count-in, and drill it until it's muscle memory.

CHORD & LYRIC CHARTS
• GigShed listens to the song and builds a chords-over-lyrics chart in standard ChordPro.
• Paste the real lyrics for the most accurate result, or let it transcribe automatically (but really, just paste the official lyrics - the transcription is trained on speech so it kind of sucks for sung vocals but is sometimes better than typing from scratch).
• Fix chords the smart way: tap a chord to loop and solo its exact moment, check it by ear, and correct it on the spot.

TAKE IT ANYWHERE
• Export your processed mix to an audio file, with your key, speed, and mix baked in.
• Export the chart as ChordPro text or a print-ready PDF for your music stand.
• Send it straight to GigScroll, the companion teleprompter app, for the stage.
