Appmuse

Great Pro recordings, need more!

Cool app, could be cooler with AUDIOBUS, Four stars for now I will give it five when Audiobus is compatible.

I like this app more every time I use it. I have 5-6 core apps for composition and this is one of them. Not quite as flexible as Garage Band, but its not meant to be Garage Band. I consider it a kind of advanced scratch pad for exploring ideas and hearing them with some arrangement ideas that I hadnt considered yet. I then go from here to Garage Band, then to Auria. I find it, as the title says, very useful. Show more

For an instrumentalist, this is great. I guess it could be a scratch pad for songwriting, but it's really nice to jam with. It's nice to put in a nice 1-4-5 bluegrass loop and practice licks or improv. It's worth it to me for that alone. I teach guitar and this will come in handy for playing over chords. It could use some more jazz variations though. Show more

Sessionband has great potential, but until there is an update that adds variations to the styles, it is pretty much useless in completing a song. Fills are not enough. It would be nice also to have hybrid styles. To mix and match styles would greatly improve this product. I like this app, just not complete. Hopefully future updates will address these issues.

First of all if you write songs, think you might want to, dreaming about it, fixin' to, etc...You NEED this app. It is not perfect, but it is the most useful app I have for making quick demos for my songs that are easily transformed into many different musical styles. It has been a tool that has modernized many of my old songs and given my ideas for new ones. Whether professional, amateur, or just starting...this is easy...useful...and you won't regret buying in my opinion. Show more

---I tend to see the forest fire instead of the trees so when I first got this I got it with the idea that it was going to be lacking just about everything I want or need and so after finally getting it to install (the iPad had to be rebooted, not the app's fault) I tried it out and was struck by the quality of the sounds. Our band doesn't have a guitar player (we play classic rock and some low level progressive rock) so I was really interested to see how this would help us with a few songs that really needed guitar, it rocked the Casbah!!! Okay, too much distortion but still.... About the people behind this program, I have seen nothing but professionalism and overwhelming courtesy from them and my numerous whines and moans have been met with kindness. I feel this needs midi, so I can use it live as a arrangement type soundsource and it needs a few bugs worked out but this is still in its infancy so a little patience is called for by me, I think there are great things ahead for this! About some of the styles (I bought the bundle at $11.99 argh!!! ) and can't see ever using a lot of them, some of them seem stylistically voiced wrong but the future is bright. Why 5 stars when it's not perfect? Because like me we're a work in progress and I react better to constructive criticism than insults or put downs...We'll do better, give us time. Show more

This is too basic for songwriter outside of "beat"....the chord choices lack enough polyphony choices...I do contemporary jazz....improv over Latin, pop, R&B and so on...I was looking for something to create complex chords/pads for songwriting...this just too elementary to be helpful....disappointed so far...if updates and packs have more choices and complex chords...then maybe?...I won't hold my breath...not a pro tool so far...
