Es fehlen Akkordtypen

Leider fehlen oft die notwendigen Akkordtypen wie sauberes Moll oder sus und dim. Will man Songs sauber begleiten, sind die gängigen Akkordtypen unverzichtbar!

Sound quality ok but otherwise limited.

Contrary to SessionBand’s claim theirs is not the "world’s first chord-based loop app". There is another on the market, Chordbot, which is way more versatile, but let down by poor sound quality and some of the riffs and rhythms in the loops. I find Sessionband to be useful sometimes but uninspiring; for actual experimentation and composing I would use the the original ‘chord-based loop app.

Love them all..at least the ones I have purchased

I started with the Original, then I got the Guitar 1 & 2, ukulele, rock, country, EdM, Drums, Jazz 1&2… these are so awesome. It would be even better if we could import the individual loops easily into like garage band or FL Studio mobile. I tried exporting a recording and using the same chords and same bpm from for example the guitar and piano apps, but when I tried putting them together into GarageBand… there were some definite synchronization issues. It’s not SessionBands fault.. they are great, I’m just a noob, and probably just not doing something correctly. I know it states that these are royalty free, but if I create the chord structure of a popular song, and sing a cover, or a parody, am I safe, copyright wise, for at least the music part? I mean can the creator of an original song come after me just because I used the same/similar chord structure and sound similar to the original? You can’t copyright chord structures, and SessionBand obviously didn’t copy anything from another artist, so if I put my loops together and it sounds familiar/similar to another song.. would there be any repercussions? I just want to cmoa (cover my own assets)

Music is in session

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

Läuft nicht mit Audiobus 3 und lässt sich nicht in Cubasis einbinden

Die Stil- und Beispielkollektion sind toll. Leider kann man diese nicht mit in Audiobus3 unter iOS 15 anderen geöffneten Apps nutzen. Ein Einbinden in Cubasis ist auch nicht möglich.
Zum erkennen von Bluesstilen ist die App aber hilfreich.

Pas d’accord mineur ni majeur naturel !

Manque les accords les plus importants, l’appli est inutilisable pour moi

Klingt gut, Bedienung auch

Im Ggs. zu manch anderer Kritik hier finde ich die Bedienung recht gelungen, nach 1-2 Stunden geht es gut von der Hand.
Anfang hatte ich Probleme mit den Endings und den Loops, aber nach erneutem Lesen der Onlinehilfe hatte ich meine Fehler schnell erkannt, daher gibt es jetzt auch die volle Punktzahl.

Poor edit page

Good loops but the whole app is not well designed.
No pause/play button in the edit screen.
This basic feature has been requested for years but developers don’t listen.
The app needs updates based on users’ feedback.

Some disaapointments

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!

Really surprised by the sound quality

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.

Doesn’t work back ground.

I use sample tank and play with it.
But doesn’t work back ground . Too bad..

One star

Have bought four of these apps and every single one has glitchy audio. If it wasn’t for this I would probably give them a five but as they are they are useless.
Other audio/music apps on my device are fine. I did try to send and email to support but it won’t send. So can you help with this please thanks.

Good for jamming but not for advanced uses

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

Major bug

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.

Simply amazing

I can not believe it took me this long to stumble on this app and that there are so few favorable reviews. Just amazing for building fantastic backing tracks to play with. And the interface is incredible. What a bargain too. I’ve tried many many other backing track solutions and this is clearly the best.

I used this app and my song went to #1

I used the bass and drums on this app and added my lead guitar and vocal. Put the chords into a cool rock blues sequence, mixed it all on pro tools, and next minute my song went to number in the blues charts on iTunes! Now there’s a story for you sessionband team! You should do an interview with me to speak highly of your app!!! Cheers. Peter

My favourite music app

Spot on! So quick to create backing tracks or jam to. The band love it too to try out different ideas. Some great styles included, Funky Blues and Texas Shuffle particularly useful. When is volume 2 coming out!?

Favourite play along app

One of my favourite of these apps. Really authentic blues loops. Could do with more chord variations but very easy to create awesome and hi quality blues tracks for instrumentalists to play over. The instant transpose feature works very well and latest audiobus upgrade is welcome. Smooth jazz please???

Good app, but...

I use a quite a few of your Session band apps, I have all of the jazz series, and the blues app. I find them easy to use for practice. I mostly make my own rhythm tracks (bass and drums) to work on practice patterns for jazz, and I hope to use the blues app in the same way for working some heavy blues rock riffs against on guitar. Harmony is not a big deal at this point since I work against a rhythm section (bass and drums), but it would be nice in the blues app to have some straight triad chord possibilities, 5 chords for example to add a rhythm guitar. Do not need the extended chords so much in the blues app. Just my humble opinion. Overall I use the SessionBand app daily and think it is best for a shallow learning curve to just get woodshedding.
