Actually, I kind of prefer this version of SessionBand over the other versions. I like the fact that I can lay down one chord progression and then try it in a variety of styles quickly. No there is not Audiobus support, but it is not too hard to export a session to a track and then import into some other app. My biggest wish for all of these apps is a more usable way to edit chord progressions. But it is certainly good enough to use. Show more

Great app for anyone who writes their own music or especially for people like myself who don't know music theory or play an instrument. I am a songwriter and producer and the way I get my ideas out is to hire musicians and hum the idea out or play a basic melody on a keyboard for them to understand where I want to go with the song. This Amazing app lets you arrange & write out that the idea you have in your head without knowing the correct chords or key to the song. All I had to do is pick the key I want the song to be in,scroll thru different chords and arrange them and that idea I had in my head came to LIFE. I pray you guys will come out with a new update which offers more chords to choose from and have an option to add drum loops to your song and maybe some different instruments like strings and either guitar or piano as well. Until then I will wait patiently for more Blessings to come my way. GOD Bless... Show more

This gives me the rapid songwriter fun of my old Yamaha PSR500 auto arranger keyboard! More Pop and Dance Styles please!

This app rocks! I have all the collections they offer and they are radio ready sounds. This is my new go to app for creating tracks on the fly and they sound great. The studio players that are on the loops are top's. This is a dream come true please keep making updates and adding new collections. I would love to know how much studio time went into cutting the loops they just sound excellent. I love the work flow of the app. I created 5 tracks in the past week and they sound better than most tracks I have produced over the past 25 years lol. Keep up the good work.. Hats off to the players they are tone daddy's. Show more

Still a nice app, but 4 stars until they implement AudioBus.

Absolutely worst, un-intuitive, User Interface! Like HOLD loop until it turns green (not blue, or red with the "X") just green... THAT Means copy - I think.. Then tap 20 times at the next measure until it says, not with double arrows >>-<< PASTE HERE ! Oh NOW you are using Text Prompts? Or try something simple like moving the play head to the 8th bar .. huh? No sorry, this always plays from the beginning. Ok?.maybe a good user manual, something more than a 7 frame kid's slide show that, you guessed it, must be played from the beginning every time. Save your money and memory (750 MB) come back a few versions later... Show more

I like the app. It has its limitations, true, but overall a fun app to play with and a handy jam-along/improv/practice tool. HOWEVER: For all of you hoping for Audiobus support- good luck. I'd love to see it as well, but way back when I first got the app (before the genre specific ones), I emailed the dev, asking if they would/could make a universal version. You see, I bought the entire IAP bundle for my iPad and didn't want to have to buy it again for my iPhone. The answer I received indicated that there was a universal app in the works. It failed to mention that the universal app would be an entirely different app altogether. I still don't have the IAP's on my phone, which is irritating, because the two apps (iPad and iPhone) are identical in content. If you want to work on the same project on both devices and are using an IAP, be prepared to pay for the same thing twice. Given that experience and the fact that they have the newer, AB compatible versions, I'd be surprised (but happy) to see that AB support arrive for this particular incarnation, regardless of the devs promises. Other than that, I do enjoy throwing a progression together and just noodling over it with guitar or synth. Show more

I love this app, great tool for songwriter and musicians This is like a band in a box User friendly is right up my alley Looking forward to new releases You guys are my hero Thank you so much for the work you do for us Show more

When I write songs, I usually just put some chords down and figure out a melody from there or vice versa. For this writing style, this app (and the other sessionband apps) is awesome! Put the chords down and you can loop it over and over as you figure out the melody. Switch styles with a few taps to get a different feel. Show more

I use this app mostly to expand my improvisational skills. Best app out there for this purpose!

Good app. Fun to play with, but only 7 chord variations? Seriously? Not very usable in the real world. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew about that limitation. Show more

Ill give it an A for cool sounds and innovation. Ill give it a C for cooperating with the user. Many glitches. Such as: When you export to audioclip, it sends the whole mix even if you mute certain channels. Like I turned down and muted the drums. It exports them anyway. Also, when you set the looping arrows and listen to part of the arrangement, it starts playing the last place you stopped even though you hit the rewind arrow. Then it begins playing from your loop arrow and the GUI does not match the sound. Also, when you type in words on the text bar. When your done the scroll feature freezes and you have to hit play to break it loose. It also need a scroll marker on the scroll bar to show your relative position in the project. Also need pinch zoom function ala garage band. Very hard to see where you are in the song. Show more

Great app, one of my favorites. Nice playing from all the musicians and flawless loops . Song building is nice. Fills very good. Could use more chords though. Overall, now hat I was told that AUDIO BUS will be added in the next update, that makes me very happy. Thank you SESSION BAND PEOPLE. Shalom always to you all. Nebben Show more

Great app, hours of fun. Add a couple of new features such as melody line, new chords, with tempo and style change during song and five star all the way

a great app for the common man! The common man who wants to use GREAT pieces of music to create music almost effortlessly !!!!!

This app would get 5 stars if it had audiobus support.

Very high quality backing track jam along song creator. Please add some more rock backings. Highly recomended.

Having so much fun with it. That's what a practicing musician could ever ask for.

Best music creation app for iOS ever for us mere mortals with no music education.

This app has the potential to be a truly great app. With the addition of audiobuss, midi export and a few other minor tweaks as indicated in other reviews this should become the foot app for many songwriters and backing track composers. Show more
