Excellent software
Such a fantastic app. I appreciate reading the release notes and getting actual changelog for each version. Well worth the money!
Lots of features, but it’s still not optimal
Lots of folks have talked this app up and I know there’s not much out there that can beat it, but frankly I’m kinda disappointed with it. It has a lot of stuff in it which to me looks like solutions without problems such as the mixer. Setting regions is real tricky to do since it looks as though they didn’t really think it all the way through. No simple play/stop. I’m constantly trying to figure things out when if they had simply followed standard ui conventions would have been simple.

Awesome product, outstanding value for money
This is a great product for organising music and performances. After using this for a couple of years i would happily pay 5 times the current price to purchase each new version, as it is so good and doesn’t require subscription.
Even better
ST3 was great. This is even better
The solution!!!
I’ve been using this app since the first ones came out, sometimes as a soloist, duo, three or full band, still learning it, can’t figure out how to have my tracks and not on my iPad to free up space but still the best app I’ve used!!
Cannot re order playlists
Can’t find any way of getting in touch without setting up an account which I do not want to do. I have several issues. On one device I can reorder the tracks but on my older iPad it won’t do the drag and drop. So I can’t have a set list in the order I want it. On the newer iPad on doing a gig having tested everything it cut all the clicks off the beginning of the tracks meaning we were literally all over the place. I gather this may be to do with the fact that I had to use a USBC adapter. Either way it’s not really fit for the purpose I need it for. I can either have no start of the track or I can not have the set in order. I would have liked to have sought help rather than leaving a review but unless I set up an account on their site you can’t start a discussion and there seems to be nowhere to email or message them.

Response from developer
Enable "Batch Edit" mode in the playlist and drag the songs to the position you like. This works on all generation iPads where ST4 runs on. The cutoff sound is a known issue with cheap USB-C audio adapters that often have a noise gate to mask their poor signal quality and this gate often opens too slow for a click to get through. You will need to use another adapter. And to get in touch with me you don't need an account. Just open settings and tap on "Create support email".
Made my Life Easier
Thank you Peter for creating this app It made my life so much easier. Love using my iPad as well as my Laptop to control the stems and scrolling Lyrics.
Thoughts on StageTraxx4
I had been using StageTraxx3 for quite some time and I found it to be a fantastic application. I didn’t think that much could be done to improve on it. Wrong again! StageTraxx4 adds many features that have completely changed the way I use the application. It’s so much easier to manipulate the files and the improvements to midi control are excellent. I find the program to be reliable during live performance and this is a priority to anyone who plays live.

Won’t Sync from 3 to 4
Won’t work right
A True 5 out of 5
There has been so much thought put into the design and creation of this app. I just needed something to organise and play backing tracks with the ability to control EQ. This app gave me this and so much more. It’s feature rich and robust; it’s pretty much impossible to accidentally interrupt playback with a clumsy swipe on a touch screen for example. It integrates with external controllers with no fuss and, once you invest a little time in learning how to load and organise tracks, it’s easy to use and super reliable. A high quality app indeed.

Best Performance App
If you’re a Pro musician using backing tracks, you’re already running Stage Traxx. I’ve used this app from the first edition and I can say that the developer, Peter, is dedicated to the music community, encouraging user feedback and providing regular updates to accommodate our 'wish lists' and keep pace with technology.
I highly recommend this app.

Love it
Really helpful a lot with our playback shows
Amazing!
If you are getting into tracks, this is the exact thing you need to keep your songs organized!
The standard..
Excellent app for use on stage. Play your backing tracks, timestamp lyrics.. does everything I need
Can’t upgrade
I opened Stage Traxx 3 and looked for an upgrade button or something and there was nothing. So I downloaded Stage Traxx 4 and the upgrade option wasn’t available either and it won’t sign into my App Store account. I figured I’ll just use the old version because the only thing I really need is to be able to change the key of the song but now most of my songs aren’t there. I looked in my files and they’re still listed under Stage Traxx 3 but I have no way to open them in the app, I just give up, I’ve wasted enough time with this.

Response from developer
ST3 and ST4 are separate apps so that you can keep using ST3 if you like and are not forced to upgrade to version 4 if you prefer the old user interface. So there is no upgrade from ST3 to ST4. You can run both versions in parallel until you feel comfortable with ST4. That said, the migration to ST4 is straight forward: Create a full backup in ST3 and restore that file in ST4.
Endstufe
Was soll ich sagen, es ist genau das, was ich für meine Band gebraucht habe. Es ist das Multitool der Werkzeuge mit dem Vorteil, dass es keine Nachteile gibt.
Ein paar mehr Erklärungsvideos auf Youtube würde ich mir wünschen. Ich ha nämlich das Problem mit Songtexten die eigentlich unterschiedlich schnell laufen müssten in einem Song. Ich bin mir sicher, dass funktioniert auch irgendwie nur weis ich eben nicht wie. Im übrigen würde ich mich über Deutsch als Sprache freuen. Im Übrigen, die Steuerung haben wir über ein realisiert.

A must have app
I have been performing live for over 40 years and I can honestly say that ST4 is a game changer. We are currently performing as a duo with backing tracks and it has been flawless. I have also automated our DMX lighting by sending midi commands at certain points in the song which makes the stage performance much more dynamic. Don’t even hesitate to purchase ST4!

Frustrating
I’ve gone back to using ST3. Absolutely couldn’t cope with it doing its own thing when I’m creating a queue. It was adding things I didn’t want and removing this I had already added. Not good in the middle of a gig
Response from developer
Looks like you have used the "Advanced Queue Mode" in ST3. This mode is now available by disabling "Automatic Queue Handling": https://stagetraxx.com/docs/v4/settings/audio/playback-settings/#automatic-queue-handling. With that option disabled, ST4 behaves identical to ST3 with advanced queue mode on.
So great
It’s such an amazing piece of art. Well thought out. It works so well for me. I never would have found it if I hadn’t seen it on Scott Uhl’s YouTube channel. He’s a big believer and so am I. Thank you Peter!

Peter has created the nearly perfect backing track solution for live musicians. My respects Peter for your dedication.
