Rather not be on camera?Sometimes you want to share your playing, not your face. The Visualizer turns a take into a video of your sound, drawn as it plays. Add the song’s title and your name, pick portrait or landscape, and post it.
Trim. Balance. Share.Trim your take, balance your playing against the music, and share it as a video, a Visualizer, or just the sound. The sound can be your part alone.
Find your tone. Bring it into every take.
Afinar is integrated with TONE3000, the home of Neural Amp Modeler captures. Browse its library inside Afinar, download a tone, and play the song through it.
Guitar, bass, voice, keys, and strings each get eight sounds, each with one Amount knob. Or build your own in Custom, from gate and compressor to amp, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb. Add one of Afinar’s amp models, or bring the NAM files already on your computer, A2 captures included.
Record. Listen. Improve.
Every take is a chance to hear more. Listen for the rushed chorus, the missed note, and the part you finally nailed. Keep your takes to hear your progress, or send one to your teacher for feedback.
Keep your tab or lesson open in your browser, and record yourself playing along.

A few things
before you start.
All the help you need What do I need to get started?
A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later, or a PC with Windows 11, plus wired headphones. Use a microphone for your voice or an acoustic instrument, or connect an audio interface for an electric instrument. Afinar guides you through the audio permissions the first time you open it.
Read the setup guideDoes Afinar use AI?
Not to make music. Afinar never writes, changes or fixes a note, so everything you hear is the original recording or you. Muting a part as the song plays and shaping your tone both happen on your computer. Afinar never uploads your songs, your playing or your takes, and nothing is trained on them.
How Afinar handles your dataDo I need to record video?
No. Record audio on its own, or switch on your camera for video. Choose portrait or landscape before the take. An iPhone used as your Mac’s camera or a 4K webcam gives a sharper portrait crop. With no camera, the Visualizer still gives you a video to post.
How do I share a recording?
Open your take, trim it if you like, and choose Share. Pick Video for a take you filmed, Visualizer for a video of your sound, or Audio for just the sound, with or without the song. Then upload the file to your social app or send it to your teacher. Include music only when you have permission to share it.
