Not a Machine. A Performance.
RiyazStudio doesn't use mechanical tabla machines or synthesized loops. Every tanpura, tabla, pakhawaj and lehra sound is replayed from real recorded performances, so it breathes and grooves like a live accompanist.
Real Recorded Performances
No mechanical loops — every tabla, pakhawaj and lehra phrase is recorded from real musicians for a natural, breathing feel.
Fine-Tune to Your Pitch
A single tuning control adjusts tanpura, drone and tabla together — matched exactly to your voice or instrument.
Live Tempo Control
Tap the B key to set tempo on the fly, mid-practice — no need to stop and adjust settings.
More Than Just Accompaniment
Every RiyazStudio version includes these additional tools to sharpen your rhythm and timing.
Bell on Sum
An audible cue marks your position in the taal — useful if your sound system is light on bass.
Metronome
Add emphasis to the beat, split a slow tempo into sub-beats, or support cross-rhythm practice.
Tambourine
Emphasize the strong beats of the taal for extra rhythmic clarity.
Tihai Tool
Create and edit your own tihais and chakradas, then practice until you've mastered the cross-rhythm.

Frequently Asked Questions
The continuous drone is there to add "body" to the tanpura sound — to root you even more firmly in the tonality into which you place your notes. If you sometimes find the strokes of the tanpura distracting, you might even use the drone on its own.
You don't have to buy anything beyond your initial two-computer registration key to keep RiyazStudio running on two computers.
If you reformat or reinstall a computer, and you've been using a recent version of RiyazStudio (August 2008 onwards), the system will recognize your computer when you register again — you won't have "used up" an extra license.
RiyazStudio works only on Windows — or emulations of it. A basic way of running Windows on a Mac is through BootCamp, or via a virtual machine like Parallels Desktop.
RiyazStudio runs on Windows 98 through Windows 11. It doesn't need a new computer — a fairly old and slow PC works fine, as long as you have a few GB of hard disk space and a decent sound system.
No. RiyazStudio is designed specifically for Windows PC and there are no plans to convert it for mobile platforms.
No — a single tuning control adjusts all three together. Fine-tuning the tabla separately is possible, but you're unlikely to ever need it.
Minor upgrades are free, delivered as a simple download. Major upgrades or add-ons won't cost more than the price difference between versions.
Try them all — RiyazStudio remembers your choice between sessions. Whatever pitch you sing or play at, do try the E tabla samples; they tend to sound good across most sound systems.
No. RiyazStudio is a practice companion, not a substitute. It's important to also have regular sessions with a real teacher or tabla player — RiyazStudio won't interact with you or respond to your playing.
Each computer needs to connect to the internet briefly, just once, to complete licensing. After that, no connection is required. If your computer has no internet access at all, message our team on WhatsApp for offline registration help.
