I have just installed this app and love the demo. But I am trying to learn more and explore. Will update my review as I learn it better

Have subscribed it within 5 mins of laying my hands on this superbly conceived and well designed app with intuitive interfaces and interactive turorials. Will provide some feedback for improvement after trying out some more. Show more

I started learning singing this year, specifically Indian classical singing. And I have to say that this app has made my learning experience SO much more effective and fun. The real time feedback on my singing has made it possible for me to correct my notes as I sing them, rather then needing to wait for my teacher to tell me if I'm sharp or flat every time. And the way it scores my performance makes practicing almost like playing a game. I absolutely love it. On top of that, the live instruments that accompany my singing sound phenomenal. They sound like real group of professional musicians who are playing with me, and responding to what I do live. Sometimes I just keep the instruments on for hours, just marinating in the raga that I've selected. I truly believe every singer should have this tool in their pocket! Show more

I started using the app for riyaz and saw a shift just within a few days. It’s a great experience and it’s like holding a mirror in front for one’s voice quality and pitch. It’s a great support and enhances your quality of learning when you have to live sessions with the actual Guru. Will post again in a few months and hope to add the 5th star. I would put this at 4.5 but that option doesn’t exit. I will rate at 4 for now since It took me a bit of stumbling around to learning how to use/ record I am upgrading my stars to 5: Here is what I love: the swarmandal and the reverb are the best features I find thus far. As for the beats , i really like the levels and style set up. I like the end for taal has a nice closure. No real negatives - other than that while I was mixing the tracks , it shorted a few times. I reset my phone and the. It worked. This bug is on track to get fixed. Sandeep cares about the app so much that he responds within minutes to any questions Highly recommended for serious practitioners Show more

As someone who has barely scratched the surface of what app can do, a few things are nevertheless strikingly apparent: 1 An immense amount of care, thought, and love are being channeled into this app’s ongoing development by a creator with immense knowledge, true artistic sense, and tremendous devotion to the ideal of accompaniment rivaling that of accomplished musicians, available anytime for one’s musical growth. To them: Thank you. 2 The sounds used, interface, gamut of harmonic and rhythmic options, and depth of Raag availability are clear, clear, and the latter provide for so much digging deep into creative possibilities I can wholeheartedly vouchsafe this app is worth every cent –and I’m not just talking about measurement of musical frequency here ? 3 If you’re looking for cutting edge accompaniment for musical improvisation over a drone this app delivers in spades. Even those marginally familiar with the ins and outs of Indian classical will find so so much for their growth here. I am amazed and sense a musical renaissance through a new generation of musicians with access to such refined accompaniment twenty-four-seven from a young age... technology like this is part of the future, and make no mistake: NaadSadhana is an outstanding pioneer technology in the service of our creativity... bringing the broadest improvisational tradition the wings of individual freedom and carrying it thereby through our times to the future. Hats off to the creator of NaadSadhana– Your labor’s well appreciated and the love behind it’s shining ? Show more

Imagine having awesome Indian musicians permanently on call in your home ready to perform with you whether for practice, performance or in the middle of the afternoon when you decide to have an unplanned session. And imagine they have a vast library of knowledge spontaneously changing what they play based on what you were chanting. Imagine you get to control everything. Timing, keys, instruments with zero egos. It’s like having a band that only cares about making you look amazing. That’s what this is. Game changer. I can’t go back to anything else. And neither will you. Show more

I often miss the real accompaniment on keys and strings .This app does this so well. Regular practice becomes way more enjoyable. Tabla accompaniment is also very adaptive with mukhadas hitting at regular intervals. Show more

As someone who casually sings western pop and recently started training in Hindustani classical music, this app has been an excellent tool in this transition. You can choose a raag/scale as a setting and sing any song to the tanpura and tabla (which are both amazing by the way, it feels like live accompaniments as it’s not loop recorded). I’ve been using this feature to make sure I’m hitting the notes correctly as I practice my scales. This aspect of the app has really made me reflect on how off my notes have been before using this tool and I’ve already seen a drastic improvement in my pitch! The real time feedback this app gives you while you sing is absolutely genius. I used to be intimidated by Hindustani music, but this app has given me the confidence that I can do this. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also really fun to practice with it as it feels like a game! For anyone who wants to be a better singer, I would highly recommend this app. Show more

I had the good fortune of using NaadSadhana App & Beta testing before its public release. Since Spring of 2018, I have been part of its evolution and witnessed a significant change in my own singing. Real time pitch feedback of this App - helped adjust my pitch accuracy faster. Whether I am slightly flat or sharp, I am able to correct my pitch looking at the real time feedback when I am doing my daily riyaaz. Using the App over several months, Correct pitch became a second nature, to the point I “feel” the correct pitch in my body when singing. It is like having my own personal music teacher for creating better music each time. A bonus comes with it - voice tonal quality improves naturally just to sustain the correct pitch. Smart Swara Mandal - this feature creates the correct ambiance with combination of the Gandhar Tuned Taanpura playing. There is a rich selection of ragas, ranging from commonly known ragas like Yaman, Bhupali, to less sang ragas like Bilaskhani Todi. Cannot speak highly enough about the rich sound and mood this App creates when singing, it is as close to the real physical instrument as it gets. There is no other App in the market that comes even close to this. Smart Tabla feature - the option to vary the tempo is similar to singing with a human tabla player. Spontaneous laykari that adapts with the content of bandish encourages more creativity when singing. The final quality, bass and treble of the tabla sound is also spot on. Sandeep has put a lot of thought behind each of these features to set the perfect “mahal” to create music, whether for daily Riyaz at home or during stage performance. This App is indispensable for an aspiring Hindustani musician. Show more

During the few minutes, I sang with the app, it made me feel like a professional. I indeed had a concert like experience where I had a swaramandal, perfectly tuned tanpura and a live tabla player playing all at the same time. My favorite is, hands down, the tabla player. Its been 24 hrs since I had this experience but the tabla is still ringing in my mind. I can’t wait to own and use it for my riyaaz on a daily basis. I am sure this is going to take my music to a whole new level. Thanks so much Sandeepji??. Show more
