Alternative Measures offers powerful tools and services designed to empower musicians and studios, even if professional solutions are out of reach. Register today for your free membership and gain immediate access to a wealth of resources and support.

With a free membership, you can:

• Utilize our Add-ons:

  • Rehearse, perform, or experiment using backing tracks.

  • Make your own backing tracks, even if you're not comfortable with Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. This includes tools to build tracks from MIDI files, where you can easily delete unwanted instruments and change instruments, or from samples, allowing you to drag and drop loops into a complete track. You can also use our Stem Splitter to separate vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments from audio files downloaded from YouTube to create "minus one" tracks.

  • Record on the go with a simple, powerful add-on that allows you to capture high-quality audio directly from your phone with just a few taps. This tool features adjustable recording levels, a simple interface to record instantly with a single tap, and automatic saving as an MP3 file, with the option to save directly to Google Drive if using Chrome. You can play back and loop recordings, making it ideal for capturing ideas, demoing new songs, field recordings, or efficient pre-production.

  • Organize your samples and loops.

Beyond our direct add-ons, Alternative Measures also provides services and guidance to help you modernize your studio using widely available and cost-effective tools like Google Workspace and Google Cloud. We specialize in helping musicians leverage these platforms to streamline their work and enhance their online presence, allowing you to effectively use apps like Google Gemini, Google Drive and Google Docs:
