What is OUMTA?
OUMTA is a click-based orientation tool for musicians.
At its core, it delivers a reliable click track —
but that’s only the starting point.
OUMTA helps you stay oriented within a song:
- where you are
- what comes next
- and how much time is left
It combines audio cues (click track, spoken cues) with a clear visual structure, so song structures sink in naturally.
Over time, the flow settles into muscle memory — even with complex arrangements and under pressure.

What is OUMTA for?
Section titled “What is OUMTA for?”OUMTA was created from a very specific perspective:
the drummer’s.
As a drummer:
- you hold tempo and structure together
- you carry the transitions
- you’re often the first one people look at when something falls apart
- you have to stay solid, even when others don’t
OUMTA creates space to stay in the feel.
The click keeps you tight.
The playhead takes pressure off.
Structure runs reliably in the background —
as if the song already felt locked in after countless rehearsals.
When practicing, OUMTA can even act as a basic stand-in drummer:
the “Drummer” click sound gives you groove and support — ideal for solo practice without a band.
OUMTA as a songwriting sketchpad
Section titled “OUMTA as a songwriting sketchpad”OUMTA is useful long before a song is finished.
It works extremely well as a musical sketchpad for songwriting.
When ideas are still raw, incomplete, or constantly changing, OUMTA lets you:
- quickly create sections
- try different lengths and repetitions
- experiment with structure before details are fixed
- see the song grow in real time
Instead of notes like
“8 bars verse → short break → half chorus → something else”
you build the structure visually and directly, and adjust it at any time.
Nothing needs to be perfect.
Blocks can be renamed, resized, duplicated, or discarded.
This makes OUMTA valuable long before rehearsals or live performances.
Typical use cases
Section titled “Typical use cases”OUMTA is commonly used for:
- songwriting and structural sketching
- rehearsals
- live performances
- complex songs with many sections
- bands that rely on a shared click
- drummers who want more than “just tempo”
In all cases, the goal is the same:
offload structure,
reduce mental load,
stay oriented.
Why not just use a metronome?
Section titled “Why not just use a metronome?”A metronome answers one question:
How fast is the song?
OUMTA answers different ones:
- Which part of the song am I in right now?
- How many bars are left?
- Is this the last chorus?
- Is something about to change?
- How did we agree to play this last time?
You focus on playing.
OUMTA handles orientation.
Who is OUMTA for?
Section titled “Who is OUMTA for?”OUMTA is for musicians who:
- play with a click track — or know that without it things will eventually get tight
- have limited rehearsal time and want it to count
- work with large, flexible, or frequently changing setlists
- need to stay on top of complex song structures
- want structure to stay present — even without whiteboards or notes
You don’t need to be technical.
You don’t need to think in DAW terms.
You just need to understand your song.
Thinking ahead, together
Section titled “Thinking ahead, together”OUMTA is built from real-world use and has proven itself.
What you make of it is up to you.

We really do listen.
