Backing tracks for singers
Singing against a groove is different from singing against a piano app. Grooves force phrasing decisions: where to breathe, when to sit behind the beat, how to ride a backbeat without rushing it. That is stagecraft you can practice alone.

Song structure builder (Pro)
Fills land at the end of each section and a crash marks every new section. Loop mode ignores the structure; turn it on to play or download the full arrangement.
Use the ballad grooves for slow material and breath control, the pop backbeat for radio phrasing, and the hip hop groove for rhythmic delivery work. Tap tempo lets you match any song you are rehearsing, and the song structure builder can run a full verse chorus arrangement to rehearse dynamics against.
Songwriters can flip this around: loop a groove, improvise melodies over it, and keep what survives ten repetitions. A tempo and a feel are often all a new song needs to show up.
Questions
- How do singers practice timing?
- Pick a groove, speak the lyric in rhythm first, then sing it. If your phrase endings land with the snare instead of drifting, your timing is working.
- Can I rehearse a full song arrangement?
- Yes. The structure builder chains intro, verses and choruses with fills at the transitions, which gives you a full dynamic arc to rehearse against.
