the story
The brief
I use backing tracks for my two bands, but the existing players were all too much of hassle for me. So I decided to make my own.
The approach
From the first step I wanted it to use with multiple bands, but without mixing the tracks. So that's why this app starts with band selection. You are only working with the music from that band. The other functions I added are things I need for performing: multitrack audio over multiple outputs, drones between songs, click track and notes. I used Claude code to write the code for me, but it surely wasn't a one prompt project. Every step of the development meant testing, fine-tuning and improving. This workflow works the best for me, because this way the end result is exactly as I wanted.
The result
A backing track player for iOS. Available for iPhone and iPad.
