I've been jamming with a bassist for a little while now, and I really think we could use some sort of metronome or click track to help us keep in time. I have a simple mixer/amp setup to mic vocals, and I was thinking I could just plug my laptop into one of the channels and have it play something. Do you guys have any recommendations for a decent/simple audio program to do this? It doesn't have to be too fancy or sound like a real drumset or anything, but it would have to be able to be set to different tempos and hopefully sound a little more exciting than a metronome.

Plug the Korg MA-30 into the tape-in on the mixer using a mono 1/8"-to-RCA and you're golden.

I was hoping to do this in software (for free). There has got to be some freeware drum machine that isn't completely lovely. I used to use something called hammerhead (or close to that) that worked fine, but I figured in the 3 or 4 year interim something else better has to have come out.

Edit: Ended up downloading Hammerhead Rhythm Machine or whatever, and it's still acceptable.

I'm sorry as I suspect this is asked all the time, but I couldn't find anything in the last few pages. Does anyone have any recommendations for a simple application to load up an audio track and play sections on repeat or slow them down? I want to work on ear training and having something straightforward so I can hear the same part over and over again while noodling would be pretty useful. I can find lots of hits on google, but I'm looking for some recommendations. This is a pretty simple app, why shell out for something like audiosnail when I only need 10% of its features?
