It offers advanced features like track splitting to isolate or remove vocals and instruments, key and tempo shifting with export options, precise looping, customizable equalizer presets, and ear training exercises to perfect note recognition. The extension also provides interactive displays of guitar and piano scales and chords along with a metronome supporting various time signatures. Additionally, Backtrackit includes a rich catalog of original backing tracks spanning diverse genres like rock, jazz, blues, metal, EDM, and more. Its unique "Live Notes Mode" visually outlines chord progressions on guitar fretboards and piano keys, enhancing improvisation skills. Users benefit from interactive drum tracks fashioned after famous drumming styles and bassless/drumless track variations. While many features are free, premium upgrades unlock full backing track access, higher difficulty exercises, ad-free experience, and export capabilities, making Backtrackit an indispensable tool for musicians seeking to enhance practice and performance. ## Rankings - #35,171 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROCESSING` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.superpowered.backtrackit.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Review summary Users praise Backtrackit for library playback, chords/scale diagrams, strong editing (drum removal), easy export, and ear training. Recurrent complaints center on update-induced instability (new detectors and web lookups), limited genre options, broken track splitting, metadata mismatches, and occasional failure to find or detect songs. ### Pros - Works with your own music library and shows chords and scale diagrams. - Advanced editing: removes drum beats without sacrificing audio quality. - Free core features with minimal ads and many features accessible without payment. - Export functionality is now easier to find and use (including karaoke exports). - Ear training section is helpful for developing musical listening skills. ### Cons - Limited genre options and a bias toward heavy metal; missing genres like pop, classic rock, 80s, and some users want more variety. - Update-related reliability issues: new key/BPM detector can be unreliable and the app sometimes searches the web for detections, causing delays. - After updates, track splitting often stops working or behaves erratically. - Playlist/track metadata may show wrong album covers for some songs. - Some songs cannot be found or properly detected by the app. ## Similar extensions and apps - [BackTrack Player](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.KP_Soundworks.backtrackplayer) — 172 users - [Practice Pro - AI Music Tools](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chaosaudio.practicepro) — 512 users - [Musician's Toolbox](https://chrome-stats.com/d/se.agardh.musbx) — 411 users - [Concert Backtracks](https://chrome-stats.com/d/tech.getsolutions.concertbacktracks) — 8 users - [JeSon: Tuner, Beats & Chords](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jslin.tuner_metronome_app) — 139 users - [Vocal Remover - MusicSeparator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/karaoke.vocalremover.onetap.app) — 2,708 users, 4.50 / 5 - [Split It](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tchiklh.splitit.app) — 99 users - [QuickPlayer – Music Practice](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.quickplayer.quickplayer) — 113 users - [Backing Tracks Guitar Jam Play](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.teq.guitarjam) — 1,208,827 users, 4.72 / 5 - [Guitar Soloist: Backing Tracks](https://chrome-stats.com/d/g9.smt.guitarSoloist) — 7,756 users, 4.71 / 5 - [MusicTrans tool for musicians](https://chrome-stats.com/d/xtvapps.musictrans) — 45,865 users, 3.25 / 5 - [Coach Music](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.luis.coachmusic) — 30 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.superpowered.backtrackit)
