Cant keep or delete worked on files

Sure wish we could save or delete files within the app. Bummer! This app could easily become my favorite music app, and I love The ability to import videos from screen recording it’s very helpful, however the app has crashed frequently , I’ve deleted and installed the app several times, but even more annoying is the Inability to save songs, delete songs or even rename within the app to me that would be the biggest improvement.. and yet I still give this app a four-star I like it that much compared to the other music slow down apps. Keep up the good work.

Un mixing to stems is amazing!

The app’s ability to split a track into separate Drums, Bass, Vocals and ‘Everything else’ is perfect for my drum practice! Can I actually play a song without the support of the recoded drummer? (Unfortunately usually not... or at best not as well! ). It’s so much fun!

I would like to be able to save the stems in-app and return to them later but it seems it only stores one set of stems at a time. You then have to reprocess older tracks over again or export the stems to import and play in another DAW. Seems redundant.

Add that and it’s 5 stars from me!

Says song DRM after purchase

Every time I open the app it says that the song that I have already purchased is protected, then if I go in and open the song again it then says it’s not downloaded, which it is. I reinstalled the app and now I can select the song but nothing comes up it’s just remains blank.

Bpm Display

Maybe I just don’t know about it yet, but it would be very helpful to explicitly showcase the bpm of a track whenever the speed is changed. I use garageband on ios to produce and this app had been very generous in letting me change the pitch of loops without affecting the tempo. I would love if I could see the bpm because it would really help alot of people in mixing different tempo tracks/loops together. I’m grateful for what this app is doing for me and I’m sure there will be more available soon!
Please consider my request.

Can’t love without this

Has been an essential part of learning guitar.. whether playing over library tracks or making my own backing tracks and then improvising over.. Super reliable.. love it. Would be good to ha e a count in..(yes well I know I don’t use it so much for actual transcribing!)

Response from developer

Count in is a cool idea. Beat detection is on our roadmap for sure.

Decent but needs some basic changes

Once a song is loaded the app is very useful and easy to use but the following are some issues which make this app not so easy to use - recent change results in all Recents being deleted so I have to keep loading songs again and again. I am loading songs from outside my iTunes library. There should be a way to add songs to a library within the app, which is always loaded OR there should be a way to decide which recents can be removed and which cannot.
This constant having to load the same songs again and again is making me want to find another app for transcribing.

Great ideas....maybe we can implement something like a 'favorites' or 'playlist' feature that could achieve most of what you are looking for....

Isolation features bugged on iPhone 6

This app is amazing for musicians learning by ear.

However
The playback is totally broken on my iPhone 6. The tracks have been successfully isolated and split into stems and sound very good however it sounds terrible when I play it in real time on my phone.

When I export the tracks and send them to myself they sound fine

I have sent an email with footage of the bug

Still worth 5 stars because this is helping me learn to play songs so much quicker.

Looking into this issue. Thanks for reporting it. Best,, Joe

Exceptional

With the latest update, this app is now one of the most powerful tools for transcribing music on the App Store. You can change the speed and pitch of a track, view its waveform, and even isolate specific instruments from a track. The app also lets you import from a variety of sources, works with audio and video and includes an equalizer. Everything works as intended and the UI is very smooth as well. Hats off to the developer of this app, the only feature I would have to request is the ability to save multiple projects and be able to navigate between them like with a file management system. Overall amazing app and well worth a download.

Almost perfect! Updated!

Updated: Very well done app, minor quibbles that I hope will be addressed as the developer seems very engaged and the second quibble below is already implemented since my last feedback!

1. Export markers and loop A and B markers as a separate file from the audio, so that both can be saved and loaded from a cloud drive like Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, etc at a later time. Currently I am afraid to remove any audio files in case I lose all my markers but will have to as I run out of space.

2. Jump to next left or right marker from current play head via a button as it is hard to hit the markers easily on the waveform directly and dragging the waveform to the exact spot of the next marker while playing an instrument is too fiddly. -- Done! (though I would have preferred a 2 finger double-tap to move as a single-tap is too easy to do accidentally when scrolling)

But otherwise this is working really well, and the colors are nicely chosen to not distract.

Thanks for the updated feedback! Still looking for an elegant way to save flags and loops independently. It’s doable I think and it’s on our future roadmap. Before then though we have some other interesting features planned....stay tuned!

I wasn't too keen on this app a few hours ago I find the more I delve into it so awesome this app becomes just a matter of missing around with it as a blind person that's what I seem to be doing cheers in so far I'm really starting to enjoy this app

Response from developer

That's great. What improvements can we make to make this a 5 star app for you?
