One small tap for man, one giant beat drop for mankind
Okay, I've got to rave about this app for a moment! Seriously, in an industry of super complicated tools, this one is a breath of fresh air. So easy to use and just... smooth. The intuitive design coupled with the seamless functionality makes music production a breeze, even for beginners. I've had many years playing with many different softwares and interfaces. The Multitracks community, and Playback specifically, take the win for me. And can we talk about Jonny Barahona from customer service? Absolute legend. He didn't just make my welcome experience smooth – it felt like catching up with an old friend. It's not often you find an app that's great AND backed by such genuine customer care. Big thumbs up from me!
Can hear guide in the church speakers
We have a problem we haven’t been able to solve. We always have the click and the guide turned all the way up in our in-ears. However, we frequently hear from our congregation that they hear the “voice” in the speakers at the beginning of the song. Don’t know how to fix that!
My other issue we haven’t been able to solve for is we can’t get the click and guide loud enough. In our in-ears that should be the loudest thing, but we frequently lose them when the multi track music overpowers them. Even though we always have the instruments lower than the click/guide, we still have a very hard time hearing them when the track music builds in the song.
It’s very frustrating for our musicians. If anyone knows how to solve for this, I would love to hear it.
Needs an update BAD. No Bluetooth midi support.
While the app is quite powerful in so many ways (with the pro version) the fact that it does not support the native iOS Bluetooth midi functionalities is insane.
For instance: you want to use a foot-pedal controller to on-off the pad, or trigger the next song, etc. You HAVE to be tethered to it via a USB dongle… ONLY. So imagine how bummed I was when I purchased a nifty little iRig Bluetooth pedal - to find that it pairs with EVERY other app on the iPad - but not Playback. I even tried using a midi bridging app (like mdmttr) and that will allow me to route the midi OUT from playback - but since playback has zero midi IN configuration options, it will ONLY see usb dongled- tethered option… which is quite messy on stage - esp. if you don’t want to lead worship with the ipad right next to you, and you need to clear off the stage quickly to make way for the pastor to teach. Big-old long USB cable run that can pop out of the ipad if anyone even looks at it wrong.
Anyways - massive oversight to not utilize this long-available functionality. Contacted dev support - NO answer. Definitely quick to take my cash, however.
I’ll be happy to update my review when they update the app!
Weird interface with my iPad Pro
Since my last update, I have a weird interface using my iPad Pro. I do not see the song playing anymore.
Attempted user
Would not let me open a new account. No place to register?
Won’t let me make a account
I open the app and it just wanted me to login not make a account
Can’t get into it!
This is impossible for me to even attempt to use! I have tried since I’ve downloaded it and it want allow me in. I wish I could though.
Stability and quality!
We have used a few various softwares to run tracks and the stability and ease of use of Playback is awesome! Haven’t had a single software issue since switching over. The last tracks based software we use had phase issues, dropout issues, couldn’t handle 3/4 and 6/8 songs with markers. Would studder and skip, and it has been awesome to use this an no longer have a service where we are on the edge of waiting for it to fail.
Demoed it at our main campus and have finally began the move to move playback to all of our campuses. Andrew G has been an awesome resource for use to figure stuff out. Answered all of our questions, gave us tips, and has made transitioning to Playback easy. Appreciate you and all your team has put together!
Started out great, but…
This application started out great. Recently, I have lost the click AND the background vocals. Nothing I have done has brought them back. Why would they just stop? I am subscribed to the highest version. At $11.99 a month, this should not be happening!
A serious game changer for my ministry
The app is an incredible piece of technology. Using it every week, and saving me SO much time compared to our previous software, Ableton Live. Can't thank the MultiTracks.com team enough for the work they put into these resources!
