Interface:
The interface of iRehearse is designed to mimic a hardware device, making it a more familiar environment for a musician. So you won't need to be a computer genius to find your way around.
Tempo:
Control the tempo (speed) of your track without adjusting the pitch. This means you can slow down a particular section of a song (the big solo for example) and hear each note more clearly. And as the pitch has not changed, you can still play along too!
Pitch:

Alternatively, you could just tune the song up one semi-tone using iRehearse and play in normal tuning! iRehearse allows you to change tuning by semi-tone up and down two whole octaves (12 semi-tones = one octave). It also allows fine tuning using cents (100 cents = one semi-tone).
Loop:
iRehearse allows you to mark a specific region of a track and play just that section. You can also select if you wish to play this section just once or repeat it over and over again. Ideal for practising that long drum fill or guitar solo.
