MusicTrainerProf User Guide V1.0



1. Overview

The main use-case for “MusicTrainerProf” is to repeat specific sections of a movie or audio-file.

I (as a guitar-player in a live-band) personally need that for learning specific parts of a guitar-song.


MusicTrainerProf is currently available for:

  • iOS

  • MacCatalyst


The App is free - and is the first released App in a planned series of „Apps for musicians“.

Comments/Proposals/Reviews/Experiences with it are strongly welcome!

You can contact me with the e-mail:

Functionality of „MusicTrainerProf“:

  • Load music-files from the music-library.

  • Load video-files from the movie-Library.

  • Load music- or video-files from the file-system.

  • Show the audio-content in a wave-view.

  • Decrease the play-speed.

  • Define an area which can be played again and again (looped).



2. User-Interface of MusicTrainerProf

2.1. App-window




2.2. Load-file dialog

With that dialog, an existing video- or audio-file can be loaded from the file-system:


2.3. Load-audio dialog

With that dialog, an existing audio-file can be loaded from the music-library:


2.4. Load-video dialog


With that dialog, an existing video-file can be loaded from the video-library:


2.5. Settings- dialog

A technical restriction for apple-devices leads to the situation, that video-files from the video-library must be copied into an App-folder.

I call that “Cache-directory”. If a video-file was already copied into that cache-area, the next access is using that “Cache-directory”. With the settings-dialog, the size of this caching-area can be seen – and it can be deleted.



2.6. Help- dialog

The help-dialog shows this user-guide-document inside the App.


3. How to use MusicTrainerProf

3.1. Define a repeating-loop

To define and use a repeat-loop do the following steps:

  • Load an audio- or video-file.

  • Let the player start or set a starting-position INSIDE the wave-view (Mouse or Touch)

  • Click on “Set Start”

  • Let the player furthermore playing or set an ending position INSIDE the wave-view.

  • Click on “Set Stop”. The defined area is marked inside the wave-view.

  • Enable the loop by clicking on the loop-button:


  • Also the tempo can now be slowed down with the tempo-slider.
