Very disappointed

Without having the different voice parts, this app is useless. The tracts are very confusing, and I haven’t met anyone that can follow it. If I can help it, I hope to never use this app again after this show. RehearseScore is 100% better.

Log out button

the log out button is way more highlighted than the go to shows button, so stupid. THEN when you click the log out button on accident the stupid app doesn’t remember your account or passwords and you loose ALL your show tracks.

Outstanding Quality and Sevice

We just closed a successful production of HELLO, DOLLY! featuring tracks from the MT Pit. The rehearsal tracks and production tracks accessed through their app are well done, and the staff worked with us to address any of our needs. We will definitely use them again.

Response from developer

We are so glad to hear you had a good experience! We look forward to working with you on future productions!

New update doesn’t work

Ever since they updated four days ago the app has been unusable. You now have to make an account but once you do there is no where to put the code in to download the music. I have a cast full of people who cannot access the music now. Hopefully a new update will fix this.

Response from developer

We are sorry to hear that you have had a less-than ideal experience with our app. We have made some changes to rehearsal track access, and we would love to assist in any way to ensure your cast has access to the materials they need. Feel free to get in contact with us at our office email (mail@themtpit.com) with any questions or concerns.

Aweful

The website itself is very helpful and it works every time. The app however isn’t helping me at all. I am unable to login with my username and password that works perfectly fine on the website. It’s frustrating and it shouldn’t happen.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear the login process has not been a smooth one. The credentials emailed to you are solely for management for the website and do not work on the app. To log into the app, you will need to create a personal username by tapping “Create a Personal Account” at the bottom of the login page. If you would like further assistance, feel free to contact us at mail@themtpit.com, we would love to help ensure your production goes smoothly!

Fantastic rehearsal app and music theater resource

I've used The MT Pit app more times than I can count. I've used it as an actor, director and producer. As an actor it's been invaluable to me when learning the music for a show and preparing for rehearsals. I love that I can play it in my car or my stereo at home. The new Bluetooth feature is a great bonus. As a director and producer I love that we have this resource for our production team as well as for our actors and musicians. It's been a lifesaver in rehearsals so we don't have to rely on an accompanist, which saves money, but allows our actors to rehearse with the equivalent of the performance tracks. It also ensures my actors have a sure way to rehearse on their own. The app is really easy to use and the sound quality is fantastic. The quality of the tracks themselves are top notch and as good as it gets. The MT Pit uses some of very best musicians to record live orchestral show tracks which, sets them apart from most track rental companies whom rely heavily on midi based tracks. The MT Pit tracks are remarkably better than any competitor source out there. I use this app on every show I work on. Love it.

We are so glad to hear you have enjoyed using our tracks! We take pride in the quality of our recordings, and we love hearing how much it enhances a performance. We look forward to helping providing tracks for future shows with you!

Great App

This is a great app and an awesome way to have high quality tracks at an affordable price. As a small nonprofit we have yet to find anyone with the same level of quality and value as the MT Pit

Response from developer

We are always happy to provide affordable and high quality tracks, and we’re glad to hear you enjoy using them!

Still no BT

Extremely helpful for learning shows but this app really needs to have Bluetooth support

Response from developer

Hi, KageHD. Our newest version of the application currently supports Bluetooth capabilities. Feel free to try this feature, and let us know if you have any feedback!

Cool but doesn't work on speaker

My phone speaker won't play the sound so if my friends and I all want to hear stuff for the show I have to get a speaker with an aux (which wouldn't work for people with iPhone 7) or we all have to take turns with head phone which is kinda impractical. Also my director said we can listen to just certain parts of songs like just the alto part or whatever but I can't find that online or on the app.

Response from developer

We are sorry to hear the speaker functionality was not working as intended on your device. Our app currently includes Bluetooth and Phone Speaker compatibility, and we feel these may be helpful in solving this issue. It’s worth noting that The MT Pit app is solely for orchestrated backing tracks, and we do not provide vocal parts for any shows. The rehearsal apps are best used to practice with a track identical to the final product used for the show. If you have any questions on what materials we offer, feel free to get in contact at mail@themtpit.com

Sound won't play on internal speakers in iOS 10

TheMT pit has never supported Bluetooth playback which is a problem but now with the latest iOS 10 update it no longer plays over the internal device speaker. This badly needs a update to fix. I'll give it a higher rating when they update the app but we are now over a month and the app is incompatible with iOS 10. Also, there is no support page on their website that I can find. Needs work.

IOS 10-DOESNT WORK

Does not work with the latest update! Don't update phone if you need this app for a show!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We recommend holding off updating the application if your organization is in performance to ensure things run smoothly with your production. We have also released a se­ries of up­dates, in­clud­ing Blue­tooth func­tion­al­i­ty, that may prove for a smoother play­back ex­pe­ri­ence. Feel free to give our lat­est ver­sion a try and let us know what you think!

John marshland is awesome

It's good

Response from developer

We are so glad to hear you enjoy our app, and we look forward to helping provide tracks for any upcoming shows you may have!

DOES NOT WORK WITH iOS10!!!

Worked great until I upgraded my phone to iOS10. Now the sound will not work. Very hard to rehearse my show that opens in a few weeks when my tracks are silent.

Response from developer

Hi adleisia, we recommend waiting to update your iOS and until we have a compatible app released to support the newest operating system. We are sorry to hear the experience was less than ideal, and we would love to hear any further feedback you may have. Feel free to contact us at mail@themtpit.com.

Helpful, Needs Bluetooth

This seems to be a really helpful app for rehearsal, but it needs Bluetooth!

Response from developer

Hi Kenny, thank you for the review! We are also happy to let you know the application now supports Bluetooth functionality! We would love to hear your feedback on this feature, and all the new updates we have added!

No Bluetooth?

Download process was stable, but really no Bluetooth headphone support?

Response from developer

Hi jwmarrott, we are glad to hear the download process went well, and we’d like to let you know our app currently supports Bluetooth! We would love to hear any feedback you may have about this and all new features the next time your organization uses our tracks. Feel free to get in contact at mail@themtpit.com.

Needs some work

I got this app to run the music for our Community Theater production of Hello Dolly.
This is a nice app and simple to use, but there are two major issues that make it less than optimal.
1. Once I downloaded the tracks, I was unable to delete any. A few of the numbers are available in several keys, and once we decided which key was best for the actors, I tried to delete the ones we aren't using, but they keep coming back. Now I have to keep skipping the tracks we don't use and it causes unacceptable delays.
2. There is a 3 or 4 second delay between tracks, sometimes you have to segue from one song right to the next, and there. Is an awkward delay.

Awesome!!!

So impressed with this company and this app. The music quality is phenomenal. I would highly recommend it for anyone who can't afford/doesn't have room for an orchestra.
