Turn your backing tracks into interactive practice experiences
YouTube is where people discover your backing track. Tonecreek is where they practise with it - chords running in sync, the matching scale laid out on the fretboard, and a link back to your channel on every page.
During the launch phase the first tracks are set up free of charge. No fixed cost, no exclusivity, and you keep publishing on YouTube exactly as you do now.
What your track becomes
An interactive practice page
Your audio, with the chord chart running along it: the current chord, where it sits in the progression, the bar count and the tempo. Nothing is typed in twice - you enter tempo, meter and the chart once, and every timing is computed from it.
Chords, key, tempo and the fretboard, together
The matching scales are derived from the key and the chord chart and drawn on a full fretboard up to fret 22, with the root notes highlighted. Your viewers stop pausing the video to look up which scale fits.
A promotion kit you do not have to design
A 1920×1080 background for the video itself, a 1280×720 thumbnail, a 1080×1920 vertical for Shorts and Reels, a QR code, a ready-made video description, a pinned comment and the full metadata - all generated from the track you saved, all editable before you export.
Your own creator page
Every track links to your YouTube channel and your other links. Your page collects your tracks, your lessons and your presets in one place, and viewers can follow you.
A share of what you send our way
Your existing referral link works on every backing-track page. Purchases attributed to it earn you the partner commission of 5% on products that are not your own - on top of your own sales.
Try it - this is a real practice page
The same player your viewers get. Press play: the chord display follows the audio, the improviser under it follows the chord.

The promotion kit, generated from the same track
Drawn from the stored chord chart and key - not from a template you have to fill in, and not by an image model. Colours, layout, typography and which facts appear are yours to change before you export.
How to start
- Create your creator profile and add your YouTube channel link.
- Upload a track you have already published: audio, tempo, meter, and the chord chart.
- Open the Growth Kit, adjust the graphic and copy the description and the pinned comment into your video.
Questions
Do I have to stop publishing on YouTube?
No. The video stays where it is and keeps its views. The practice page is what the description link leads to, and it links back to your channel.
Is there any exclusivity?
No. You can publish the same track anywhere else, at any time.
What does it cost?
Nothing to set up. During the launch phase the first tracks are set up free of charge. There is no fixed cost and no subscription for creators - Tonecreek takes its share only when something is sold.
Do I have to sell the tracks?
No. A track can be free. A free track still gets the practice page, the promotion kit, the creator page and your referral link.
Do you use AI to generate my artwork?
No. The graphics are drawn from your track's stored data - the chord chart, the key, the tempo and the fretboard positions that follow from them. No image model is involved.
What do I have to enter?
The audio file, the tempo, the time signature, where the first full bar starts, and the chord chart. Everything with a timestamp is computed from those.
