Where Track Tutor is right now
Three things shipped this week — a partnership with barbershoptags.com, the Android Player app on Google Play, and a two-minute demo of the multitrack mixer. Plus a live player you can poke at right now.
Three things shipped this week, and they all reinforce each other. A catch-up for the regulars, and an introduction for anyone landing here for the first time.
Easiest entry point: the player below is the same multitrack mixer Track Tutor users get inside the app. Pull a fader. Hit PRE on a part. Try solo on another. The song is "Lost", arranged by Soren Wohlers, performed by Tim Waurick, and made famous by 52eighty Chorus and Millennium.
A partnership with barbershoptags.com
Track Tutor's multitrack player is now embedded directly on barbershoptags.com — the largest barbershop tag library on the web, with close to 7,000 freely-licensed tags contributed by the community over more than a decade. Every tag page with separate-part learning tracks can now offer the same experience you just tried: pull the tenor fader up, push the bass back, hear the chord in context, work on your part without a coach standing over your shoulder.
For singers, this is what tag-singing has always wanted to be — interactive, part-by-part, no file-shuffling. For the contributors who've spent years uploading tags to the site, it is a richer surface for work they've already done. For us, it is our first major distribution partnership, and we hope the first of several.
The embed itself is publicly documented at tracktutor.com/developers. It is a small iframe, no account required by the embedding site, and the domain allowlist is staff-managed. If you run a content site for vocal ensembles and think something similar might fit, we are open to a conversation.
The Android Player app is on Google Play
Track Tutor Player — the native companion app for Android — is now live.
The web app is built for managers: uploads, playlists, invites, all the group-running work. The Player app is built for everyone else. Open it, find your group's playlist, hit play, mix your part. Same faders, same PRE button, same lyrics — with a few phone-specific additions:
- Offline cache. Download a song once, rehearse anywhere — even in a basement church hall with no Wi-Fi.
- Lock-screen and Bluetooth controls. Audio keeps playing with the screen off. The steering-wheel buttons in the car work.
- Sample-accurate sync. No drift across a long warmup, no parts wandering apart on a slow phone.
iOS is still in late testing. We'll announce it the same way when it ships.
A two-minute walkthrough
The player above is the product in your hands; for the full tour — group setup, playlists, the lyrics view, the bits that tie everything together — here's a two-minute demo.
A note of appreciation: the tag in the demo video was generously provided by Tim Waurick of timtracks.com, a long-time learning-track producer whose work has shaped how barbershop singers learn for years. The producer side of Track Tutor is built around people like Tim, and we're grateful he was willing to lend his work to the demo.
Free during early access
All of the above is free for anyone with a group to use. We will announce pricing tiers well before they take effect, and existing groups will have plenty of notice. Bring your group along; they'll thank you for it.
