FAQ
What happens when my trial ends?
Your account stays, and everything you saved (playlists, keys, practice history) is kept exactly as you left it. Becoming a member picks it all right back up. And if the trial slipped by before you got to play, tell us: we’d rather extend it than have you pay for something you never tried.
Do I need a card to start the trial?
No. Creating an account starts your 14 days. There’s nothing to cancel and no surprise charge, because we never had your card in the first place.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, in one click from your account page, no email required. You keep access through the period you paid for, and your library is waiting if you ever come back.
What about recordings I add for Real Band?
They’re your copies of music you own. We process them so you can practice with them, and they stay tied to your account. We don’t host or serve music to anyone else.
What stays free without an account?
Every vocal song’s lyrics with chords as written, every instrumental’s chord chart, the history and personnel, plus the tuner and metronome. That part is our contribution to the music.
