What is TuneUp?
A quick tour of what TuneUp does for bands, jammers, and rehearsal rooms.
Bands
Band roles: admins and members
Who can do what in a band.
Create a band
Start a band solo: name it, post open positions, invite people, pick a cover, put it on the map.
Find players: open positions and applications
Post open spots in your band, get discovered on the map, and approve the players who apply.
Invite people to your band
Invite by email, share link, or QR code: invitees accept or decline, nobody is auto-joined.
Public vs private bands
What "Open" and "Private" mean, and exactly what a public band shows the world.
The band calendar
See the band's sessions alongside everyone's availability in month, week, day, year, or agenda view.
The band page
Overview, Sessions, Songs, Assets and Activity: what each tab does.
Sessions & jams
Find a stand-in for a session
Your drummer can't make it, open a seat on the session and approve a stand-in for just that night.
Guests and session share links
Share a session link so friends can jam or sing along, no account required.
Join a jam or open session
Find open jams on the map, apply on your instrument, message the host, and track or withdraw applications.
Plan a rehearsal
Create a session, pick where, build the setlist, invite the band, and make it repeat.
Search: the map
One map for everything nearby, bands looking for players, open sessions, and rehearsal rooms.
Start a jam
Publish a one-off jam with open instrument slots and let players near you apply.
The session page
Overview, setlist, notes and assets, plus visibility, leaving a session, and what happens after it ends.
Practice & songs
Add songs to your library
Search the catalog, add a song, and TuneUp prepares the chords, lyrics, and synced video for you.
Chord versions, accuracy, and reporting problems
Where chords come from, picking a different version, and how to report a wrong chord or section.
Import playlists from Spotify
Connect Spotify and pull your playlists into TuneUp; each song gets chords automatically.
Live mode: rehearse in sync
Go live in a session and every phone shows the same song, the same line, at the same moment.
Music sources: YouTube, MIDI, and more
Choose what plays while you practice: the synced YouTube video, a MIDI backing track, or the official master on Spotify/Apple Music.
Playlists
Group songs into playlists, share them with a band, and practice through them.
Practice a song
Chords over lyrics, synced YouTube playback, transpose, autoscroll, count-in, tempo trainer, and the metronome.
Sheet music: TuneUp Score
Attach a score to a song and read it in time with the music, with annotations and stand mode.
Solo sections
Mark a solo in a band song: the music pauses while the metronome counts the soloist through their bars.
The tuner
Tune anything: strings on a headstock, piano with Stretch and Guided modes, winds and drums in Hz.
Recording
Files and band assets
Upload files to a session, share them with the whole band, and find everything in the band's Assets tab.
Record your band (beta)
Every phone records its own track at once: one tap, a synced multitrack take.
Remaster a channel
AI-enhance a channel in the studio, from a subtle polish to a full re-render: non-destructive, always A/B-able.
Separate a recording into stems
Split any take into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and other: each as its own channel.
The studio
Mix takes GarageBand-style: channels, mute/solo, minus-one practice, record new layers, and save versions.
