Watch the video on YouTube - https://youtu.be/MdHU21slq9c "PLAYBACK With Metronome" is the brand new and the most convenient way to launch STEREO backing tracks during your live performances! A backing track is an audio recording that musicians play along with during live performances and practice sessions. Frequently, it is something that many live bands lack for recapturing the atmosphere of their tracks and sounding complete. Especially, if they use elements of electronic music, percussion, backing vocals, etc. This app will also come in handy if a band member cannot attend a performance or a practice session (or if there is no such musician at all), and you don’t want to lose your original sound. "PLAYBACK With Metronome" is an iOS app that will definitely save you time and money. You won’t have to carry those bulky laptops, audio interfaces and tons of cables with you anymore. From now on you will only need your iOS device which is always at your fingertips. The app is suitable for both practice sessions/rehearsals and live performances of any scale. Main functions: - Playback at performances with the metronome output in the headphones (so as not to stray from the rhythm) and all this without additional expensive devices; - Multitracking; - Equalizer; - Markers; - Looper; - Unlimited number of playlists; - Download files from cloud storage; - Built-in metronome application, presets are saved; - Ability to use tracks with a variable tempo and size; - Added support for sound cards (see the last screenshot); - Ability to playback instruments on individual channels; - MIDI; - Video; - Working together with app "METRONOME Connect". PS: Improve your performance, amaze your audience!
