PG Music Band-In-A-Box Pro 2015 This program is easily the most useful software there is for practicing. You can type in any chord progression, choose a style, press play and you've got a backing band! This is great for improvising, creating basslines, and tons more. You'll be happy you got it.
Ableton Live If you want to get into looping and creating your own music, may favorite software is Ableton Live. It can function just like normal recording programs like ProTools and Cubase, but it does a lot more. You can record and layer loops in real-time. It's great for writing, improvising and practicing.
Audacity Recording Software This is the most popular open-source audio software. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. It's FREE! This is a great option for slowing down songs without changing their pitch. Open your audio file and Save As a new file (you don't want to overwrite anything!). Then, select Effect->Change Tempo. Save the new file. (You can also use the Audio Slow Down tool on StudyBass. https://www.studybass.com/tools/audio-slow-down/)
