SessionBand Blues 1

Does exactly what I need and portable. Being able to customize patterns and looping is practice heaven. Cheers people.

Would like to give 5 Stars but just can't. First disappointment, many "styles" have no ability to use organ track. It's not even included. Open the mixer only to find 2 guitars, no organ at all. (Keyboards play on shuffles and funk too Sessionband, just to let you know.) Also, several styles that DO include organ have it playing at least an octave too high with no ability to transpose it back down an octave (or even two) making the organ part pretty much useless for that style. Also disappointing, sorry to say but keyboard chord voicings are absolutely awful on too many styles, (even if in proper octave range). Again makes kbd track pretty much useless. Sad :-( But hey, if you don't care for keys, maybe the app will be to your liking!

The description makes this tool sound much more fully featured than it is. It only has one audio loop per chord, with no way of modulating each loop to a different key. Apple refuses to refund. Very disappointed. What a waste of $$.

I like this app ... a lot ... but it kills your battery big time even when you close it. And then it doesn't give you the option to close background processes upon closing like other apps offer.

I was looking for a collection of playalong tracks (I'm learning blues piano) and I came across this app. This is the SUPER JACKED version of what I was looking for - I can enter in a basic 12-bar blues or really anything I have a box chart/lead sheet/fake book for, then play it in pretty much my groove of choice and mute the tracks I don't like. If I want to get really involved I can input the whole roadmap and remix the levels, but that's more than I need. If I have a reservation, it's that the UI takes a bit of getting used to and it's a bit fiddly, but it may be a little friendly with something bigger than my iphone 5s. Definitely recommend to blues musicians and singers as a songwriting and practice tool.

This is so easy to use and sounds amazing! I use this program as a 'back-up' band when I am playing solo guitar or keyboard, and I always get rave reviews from listeners. 5 stars only because I can't give more!

This is a must-have app for learners or experienced blues musicians. It features a great selection of styles and loops, plus easy-to-use controls. There is some advanced stuff in the app as well if you take your music creation seriously. Amazing app!

I was really wiped out over the sound quality. Wasn't expecting that. Very good. Extremely cool app. A lot easier to try and use GarageBand to get a jam track going. This is no diss to GB by any means. This is easier to use in my opinion. All the instruments can be muted or adjusted, and the same for GB, but man more options included here for rhythm guitar alone. Change key by semitone. Adjust speed. Change drum fill or the better part of the track. Loop. All needed tools. You can record your finished track. After you have produced it and then export to several other apps, including GB. Watch your bpm after you import to GB. Once you sync it up there, it'll play like you had originally wanted here in SessionBand. Haven't figured out how to export single tracks to GB yet, but will get it going. I have two ticks that certainly didn't warrant a star removed. No plain Jane Major chords. Not all Blues has just, altered Dominates. And no Diminished chords. m7b5 yep, no problem, but no Diminished. Other than those two, this is a home run music making app for the price of a couple cocktails. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I just use this to create jam tracks that I play along with using the app. It’s nice to be able to control the tempo change keys and so on and off the stock tracks. This is mostly what I do. I haven’t had much luck exporting tracks to garage band etc. As a matter fact I would say the app is horrible for this. But there’s an easy way to access jam tracks that can be tweakedTo change keys and what not, this app is good

Can’t change tracks without completely leaving the app. Not good at all. Everything else is amazing really really is, but the problem above makes me not wanna use the app every time I do.
