If you’re a solo musician like me, you’ll know that split-second panic when the next verse is coming and your mind just goes blank.
That’s exactly why I built AudioCue.
AudioCue isn’t about reading lyrics off a screen. It’s about that quick, reassuring glance that tells you what’s coming next, giving you the confidence to know your gig running just how you want it.
You set your songs up once with lyrics, chords and timestamps, and from then on your lyrics stay perfectly in time with your backing tracks.
You can also build playlists and see exactly how long your set will run, so you can plan your whole night with confidence and without worrying about what’s next.

In this tutorial I show how to set up AudioCue for acoustic use, including using the built-in drum sequencer.
00:00 Intro
00:15 Add your first track
01:02 Add lyrics to a song
02:22 Create a playlist
02:54 Add songs to a playlist
03:36 Play songs and playlists
04:20 Add drums using the sequencer
This is aimed at musicians who play acoustic, do open mics, or practice at home and want solid timing without full backing tracks. I walk through setting up songs, adding lyrics, configuring the drum sequencer, and using it live and for practice.
If you already use audioCue for backing tracks, this will feel familiar — the workflow is intentionally simple so you can focus on playing, not fiddling with software.
audioCue is designed for real musicians who want something reliable for practice and live use.
