RiffLoop Studio (riffloopstudio.com) is a free YouTube bar looper and practice tool by NRB Ltd. It is not affiliated with riffloop.app.
Loop any YouTube song by the bar. Slow it down, fine-tune in milliseconds, and practice with a synced click. Free for guitar, drums, piano, and more.
Paste any YouTube video link into the search bar. Once the video loads, choose your Start Bar (A) and End Bar (B) using the bar controls or by clicking on the Bar Grid timeline. Ensure Loop Enabled is toggled on, and the player will continuously repeat your chosen section.
The Synchronized Click is a Web Audio API metronome track that calculates the song's beat locations and plays crisp auditory clicks (woodblock, electronic beep, percussion, or rimshot) in perfect sync with the video. You can toggle the click on or off, adjust volume, change click sound, and mute individual beats.
Beat muting lets you silence specific beats within each measure (for example, muting beat 2 and 4 or muting beat 1). This eliminates reliance on an auditory guide for every beat and forces your brain and muscle memory to internalize tempo, developing the rock-solid internal clock required for live performance.
When you activate Count-In, RiffLoop Studio plays a 1-measure audio click countdown before the YouTube video begins playing. This gives guitarists, drummers, and keyboardists time to pick up their instrument, get into playing position, and lock into the groove before the first beat hits.
Yes! Click Save Loop to store your loop (including song title, artist, BPM, start bar, end bar, and millisecond adjustments) in your personal library. You can also click Share Loop to generate a unique shareable URL that loads your exact loop settings for any musician or student immediately.
Musical timing demands sub-second precision. Adjusting start and end boundaries in ±1ms and ±10ms increments eliminates unwanted clipping, ensures guitar pick attacks are heard cleanly, and produces seamless loop repeats that feel natural and musical.
Simply click the 'Tap Beat' button or press any key on your keyboard in rhythm with the music. The app calculates the average interval between your taps using the formula BPM = 60,000 / Average Interval (ms) and immediately sets the tempo in BPM.
