I got this for busking, and I think it will work great for that … but I’m already delighted, because it lets you record video (using whatever app you want) while the audio is still playing from this app. I’ve never been able to get that to work before!
There are many apps for running backing or click tracks, but I like the ability to change tempo by a percentage and NOT change the pitch of the song. I also like having the ability to change the gain of a song when a track is quieter or louder than the other tracks. I have a newer iPad and it’s worked flawless for me in the 6+ months and 30+ gigs I’ve used it for. Hopefully they’ll update the app or add more features, not because it’s needed, I’m curious what they can add!
When I first got this app I would have given it 6 stars out of five. However, lately it is becoming more and more useless. The main feature of this app for me was to be able to change the pitch of the song because most tracks are a little too high or too low. You could change the pitch a lot without it sounding weird and garbled up. Now the slightest change in pitch makes a weird digital garbled noise in the background. I depended on this to play my concerts, and now I am going to have to find something else. It is very frustrating to say the least. I have a $16 app that is worthless.
If you could add, loop regions, and midi patch change with the clock out, this thing would be Go To! Thanks
Cannot adjust the volume of the click vs track in a typical click left and track right configuration. That’s a major flaw.
This app is very good for playing backing tracks and I like the features it provides, however, I have two gripes: 1. The in-app purchases are on the nickel-and-diming side on things. Each upgrade is worth it, and they are well listed and described, however, I was surprised by the shear amount of them. I was expecting an unlock all features option. I get it though, the developers deserve compensation, and it is necessary to keep adding updates and features. 2. Only being able to output to channel 1 and 2 of an interface is a massive disadvantage. I was expecting to be able to select whichever outputs were necessary for a more complex setup. This limitation forces you to change your workflow to match what the app wants, instead of working the other way around. That’s a real downer and I hope it is addressed in the future. Despite those two gripes, and some interface issues on modern iPhones (I’m looking at you performance mode’s close arrow), this is a pretty solid app that gets the job done.
Otherwise great for our little band but that feature would really make it work. Just the ability to pause and skip tracks in the basic music player would really be all you need.
What would be nice is a playlist feature that you add seconds between tracks and auto play. For busking this would be great; the musician does not have to choose the next song manually but setup a customized playlist flow to jam with.
I love that you can change the key. I wish I’m set mode you’d allow us to string certain songs together so there’s nonstop though. Like a real bad gig, every song shouldn’t be a sop at the end. I also wish we could trim by time as well as bar. Great app though, best I’ve seen for my needs.
I play guitar and play out in various band configurations. Sometimes full band but often with a keyboard player and solo. I use this live and for rehearsals to play backing tracks when I don't have live drums and bass or keys. I create backing tracks in BIAB. I pan drums left, bass right so I can adjust volume levels. Files import easily and quickly via Mac Finder. I previously used another app but it is no longer updated and ShowOne is easier to use. I regularly update just a few files and this app makes it easy to update the set lists. It lets me focus on playing music!
