Shiverware introduces SpeakBeat 1.0, a new metronome app for iOS devices. The app is unique among metronome apps because it uses spoken words to mark the beat rather than clicks or ticks.

The app is widely customizable, with a variety of high-quality studio recorded voices to choose from, as well as a large high-contrast numerical display. The spoken metronome improves timing over click metronomes for music students, dancers, and cheerleaders as well as saving the voices of instructors.

SongStarter is a different approach to music production on the
desktop. Starting with a beat, you can quickly record into a live
looper using the collection of built-in instruments and build up the
basics of a song.

This workflow makes it easy to jot down an idea and
iterate quickly. And though it's simple and fast, SongStarter is a
serious tool, and that's why we made sure exporting your songs to a
DAW is as easy as possible.
