  • 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!

    Thanks for the feedback here, Brian! Glad to hear you love the app and the sales and support experience!
  • 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.

    Thank you for the feedback! We will bring this to our team for future product consideration.
  • 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!

    Hey there, Joe! Sorry to hear of the trouble you were running into here. We certainly support a large amount of Bluetooth MIDI devices that can be used to wirelessly control the Playback app. We can see the concerns around not having advanced MIDI input configuration settings, and definitely appreciate the feedback there! I also see that you've since been able to contact our support team around this and get some additional answers as well. If there's anything else we can help with we're available and respond daily at the email support@MultiTracks.com.
