### 2/5 — Lohnt sich nicht...

*2022-11-06*

Da habe ich schon deutlich besseres gehört. Die Stücke sind atmosphärisch nicht sehr dicht und teilweise einfach nur schrill - oder langweilig.

### 5/5 — iTunes purchase restore

*2021-04-02*

Having problems restoring my iTunes purchases.

**Developer response:** Hello. The "Restore Purchases" button is on the "About the App" page. If you already tried this, perhaps try deleting and re-installing the app in case something got corrupted? Please feel free to contact me at: jeff (at) jeffperrinmusic.com if you need more help. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Useless

*2020-12-28, version 1.0*

An App which Nobody really needs...

### 4/5 — Great Surround Mixes

*2020-01-08*

Is it possible to add a play all and/or shuffle option?  Perhaps there is a way that I'm not seeing...?  Otherwise, nice work!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback! There is currently no play all/shuffle option, but it is certainly on the list for a future update!  Cheers! -Jeff

### 5/5 — Good looking, should get Atmos compatibility

*2019-11-08*

Decent app. Looks nice. Well built. Easy to use. Good SQ, don’t know if it’s lossless or not. Really needs to get Atmos. Seems a little behind the times. Excellent start though. Hopefully with good ratings Jeff can make more.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! And yes, Atmos support is coming! (I just finished a major studio update for compatibility with Atmos production.) -Jeff

### 5/5 — James Bond theme is the best thing

*2019-10-06*

Not only is this app a great tool to test out a surroundsound system but it has great music in it especially a version of the James Bond theme with 64 separate guitar tracks.

I also like to play TV and movie themes with guitar-only, i’d like to talk to the developer about what I can do with my dinosaur ProTools 6.4 (Digi 001) System. I’ve got a surroundsound plug-in that I have tried to use for mixing but the software is so old that it doesn’t work properly.

I got my system in 2003 for 800 bucks which included a Mac G4 tower and ProTools 5.1, I was able to upgrade to 6.4 through Digidesign. But since then AVID bought everything, and now there’s no support for any legacy products like there are used to be, in fact they pulled production of all consumer recording products except for ProTools itself, so if you were lucky enough to buy a Digi 003, keep it! because you’ll never find another one, people are hanging onto them.

I’ve spent many years behind a recording console especially in the old days when it was a 24 in/8 sub/4 sub/2 sub Tascam Board, but digital recording is a totally different dog.

Whenever I think my surroundsound is not properly set up this app is what I use to ring the system out.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the "James Bond Theme" - it was quite an endeavor to put together for surround sound!

Best thing you can do with your old G4 tower is keep or restore that legacy software on there, rather than trying to upgrade to newer versions. Keep the machine "frozen in time", so-to-speak, as it existed in 2003. Feel free shoot me an email if you want to talk shop! jeff@jeffperrinmusic.com
