New (2011) Feature: Player

[thesoundsmith]

Amazing, completely unexpected, and completely awesome! The drummer reminds me a bit too much of some overly-busy dudes I've worked with in the past, but I just want the bass line, with a bit of drum background, and you just added several hundred songs to my piano single-with-iPod-backing-tracks repertoire.

As more styles are added, please consider some faster way to select a style than click-for-next. Some of us like to change up ways of playing standards - a hip-hop Green Dolphin Hood, or fast samba Miss Jones, and a fast selector would facilitate that.

Also, perhaps a last-four or last-8 option for intro (and same for tag ending?) I'm NOT complaining, just looking to what could add value without too much work. Congratulations on a great update!

thanks for the feedback. Have fun!

Different styles of the jazz pack have different amounts of sparseness or intensity, so you could find one that is best comping out of all the choices and use tempo to move it to the appropriate speed you need to practice with.

Yes we will be revising things as more styles get added.
You might find it useful to make a copy of the song and store a different style with that song, then make a practice Playlist with them all in.

It would have taken more time to develop an intro play as you suggest and we wanted to get this out as soon as we could so you could have fun with it. For now, you can make a copy of the song (see above) and add in your intros and endings as you need to just for practice.

Great, I am very happy with the player, great job guys.

One question, Is there a way to save the tempo to each song (I might be doing something wrong) or I have to change the tempo every time I change the song from 100 to desired.

Thanks and keep the good work.

No tempo store at the moment, other than changing to a different similar style which has a nearer tempo. We may implement this in the future though (requires integrating with the editors etc.)

Thanks for feedback.

Great New Feature!

Just a little nitpick: I do notice that the red measure indicator as the song plays is a bit behind the beat. On fast tunes, it's a full beat behind. Maybe this is something to do with the slower processor on my 3G, or maybe this could be adjusted in a future version?

Thanks!

yes we are finding older devices are slower to respond. Will see what we can do. Thanks for your observation.
