Practice Smarter with Audio Cues

Thu Sep 18 2025

At Subdivide, our goal has always been simple: help musicians make the most of their practice time. With our latest update, we’re introducing Audio Cues—a new way to rehearse that keeps you locked in on the music, not stuck scrubbing around.

What are Audio Cues?

Audio Cues let you import any audio file you use to practice—show recordings, backing tracks, or reference performances—and drop markers throughout the track. From there, you can:

  • Jump straight to the section you need without endless scrolling.
  • Set start and end points to isolate tough passages.
  • Loop problem spots until they’re clean.
  • Count off into sections so entrances are always together.

Whether you’re preparing a solo, teaching an ensemble, or running reps with your group, Audio Cues save time and keep the focus where it belongs: on the music.

Why Audio Cues matter

Every musician knows the struggle: rewind, guess the measure, miss the entrance, try again. Audio Cues fix that. They turn any recording into a practice-ready tool—precise, repeatable, and instantly accessible.

  • For educators: Less wasted rehearsal time.
  • For students: Faster progress.
  • For advanced players: The ability to drill details without losing momentum.

Built for real rehearsals

Like everything in Subdivide, Audio Cues were designed with the realities of practice and performance in mind:

  • Quick setup: Drop markers as you listen—no complicated editing required.
  • Instant recall: Cues are saved with the track, ready the next time you open it.
  • Flexible control: Combine Audio Cues with Subdivide’s click tracks, tempo changes, and subdivisions for complete rehearsal control.
