How it works
One move.
The kit goes quiet.

Questions
Short answers.
Can I keep a quiet guide of the original drums?
Yes. Lower the drum lane's gain instead of muting it.
Can I take the drumless track with me?
Yes. Export the vocals and the instrumental, at your tempo, as files of their own.
Are the tempo, key and chords exact?
They are estimates, and the app labels them so. They are good enough to loop by bars and play along.
Which songs can I open?
Any audio file you already have that the system decodes: MP3, M4A and AAC, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, CAF and more, up to ten minutes. Norah Studio cannot open songs from streaming services: their files are locked to their own apps.
