Backing Track Editor: from audio file to chord video
Choose your track, Tonecreek detects tempo, key and the chords bar by bar, you correct what needs correcting in the timeline - and render a video with the chords running in sync. Create professional backing-track videos in minutes.
7 days free, then the subscription starts automatically at €14.99 / month. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Cancel monthly after that.
Try it without an account → Analysis and the video preview work without signing up.
How it works
1. Choose your track
MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or OGG. The chord analysis runs in your browser - the audio file is not uploaded for it.
2. Chords, tempo and key are detected
You get a bar-by-bar chord chart, the tempo and the key in seconds, with uncertain bars marked.
3. Correct it in the timeline
Rename a chord, change its length, insert, split or merge - in the timeline editor, with undo, instead of a video editor.
4. Render and export
A video with the chords in sync, in 1080p and without Tonecreek branding with Creator Pro - plus MIDI, SRT, CSV and JSON for your other tools.
Stop placing chord markers by hand.
Listen through the track → Work out every chord → Find every chord-change timestamp → Write down the progression → Open a video editor → Drop a marker on each change → Build a chord text layer → Nudge each one into sync → Check every transition → Render
With the editor: Upload → Analyze → Check → Export

To the Creator Studio →Frequently asked questions
- How does the 7-day trial work?
- You start Creator Pro with all features for 7 days at no cost. Stripe asks for a payment method at the start; it is only charged when the trial ends. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
- What happens after the trial?
- The subscription starts automatically at €14.99 / month and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel at any time and keep Creator Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
- How do I cancel?
- In your account under Settings → Subscription → Manage subscription (Stripe's customer portal). Cancelling during the trial means nothing is charged.
- Is there a free trial for everyone?
- One trial per account. If you had Creator Pro before, the subscription starts without a trial.
- Do I need an account?
- Not to try it: analysis, the chord chart and the video preview work without one. Exporting a video needs a free account, Creator Pro needs an account with the subscription.
- What happens to my projects if I cancel?
- Nothing is deleted. Saved projects and presets stay in your account; you keep the free features and pick up where you left off if you subscribe again.
