An Amazing App

Homecrate is an amazing app for managing your music collection in one place. It is so much more than that! It features a great DAW that hosts AUV’s, it is a NAM A2 loader, it includes a stem splitter that puts your stems into tracks in the DAW where you can slow them down and record yourself using them as a backing track, amp sim and effects, a drum machine, metronome, tuner, looper an internal camera/video recorder and a host of other features I haven’t even explored yet. It really has so many features and the price is ridiculously low for everything included. Lastly the developer is very responsive. I was having some learning curve issues, emailed him and he got back to me with a detailed explanation of what I needed to know and also did an update with some features I requested. Really a great app!

Response from developer

You rock! Thanks so much for your feedback. That last release had your suggestions all over it and I greatly appreciated it. I was stoked to hear you use the music listening features. I think that’s one of the most sleeper places it shines. I was able to cut Spotify out of my listening habits because of the library. Please do use the support form again if you have any other ideas or suggestions. That form goes straight into my feature backlog. And don’t ever feel like you’re spamming it. Looking forward to hearing from you again, cheers!
