It is not what I expect

• ★★☆☆☆   P&K Productions 8 years ago ( v 2.1 )

I am very much desapointed with this App. It´s probably good for begginers, but not for professionals. So little good rhytms, few options, and the Rhythm&Timing is ridiculous. Just buy this if you are a begginer. Also it does not work when you “drag” the wave to Pro Tools. Pro Tools do not reconize this file. I am frustrated… I lost 15U$.

Simplicity is Divine

• ★★★★★   drbulbulia 8 years ago ( v 2.1 )

I like the 5bpm intervals and the intuitive-works-out-of-the-box approach. I like that this app doesn’t crash. I don’t agree with those who want further bells and whistles. All I need is here. As a bassist, I enjoy practicing to this over a metronome because I get a feel of playing with a drummer, which is what I do when I’m playing in jam sessions/live.

Great alternative to a metranome!

Just got it but love it :)

simple and very useful

very easy and useful app in practicing grooves

Maintenant j’ai un batteur à la maison

• ★★★★★   lucp 10 years ago ( v 2.0 )

Exactement ce que je cherchais pour bosser. Pas mal de groove différent et ca sonne très bien.

Un bon debut !

• ★★★★☆   chodom 9 years ago ( v 2.1 )

Pour le son 4/5, il manque un decompte visuelle ainsi que la possibilite de demarrer avec une pedale ex: Airturn. A suivre...

Pratique mais cher pour le contenu.

• ★★★☆☆   Back-Burner 9 years ago ( v 2.1 )

Vraiment sympa pour apprendre à jouer en rythme et composer. Malheuresement, le contenu est très pauvre notamment la section « Heavy Metal ». 3 étoiles car il n’y a pas de loops de type Death, Thrash et Hardcore . L’idéal serait aussi de pouvoir préparer des « morceaux » en permettant l’enchainement des loops comme on peut le faire sur garage band. Reste très pratique et utile pour progresser.
