And there are more than enough music apps, even those built just for musicians, but we wanted to focus on the wild breed of musicians who like to pour their hearts out with an audience surrounding them. TL DR: it's good for practice and emergencies, but it shouldn't ever replace knowledge of tunes.Whether you’re a musician or just like to listen to music, there are plenty of apps out there that can make your experience better. Hope that this gives a little bit of insight! Keep doing what your doing and good luck, happy shedding, everyone! Now that I have the app, it's nice to practice on and use in emergency situations where I REALLY don't know the tune that was just called, but the discipline of learning and memorizing every aspect of a tune is still there and priority number one. I'm always looking to use it as little as possible.īefore I got the app, I was really against iReal pro, thinking 'Well that just seems like something people use as an excuse to not learn tunes', and I think I'm kind of justified in thinking that. Using iReal Pro is fine to practice on (I especially like the backing tracks and ability to have it transpose automatically after a chorus), but it should never become a crutch at a gig.

You SHOULD memorize standards, you SHOULD know how to transpose on the spot, you SHOULD learn melodies, which the app doesn't even provide you with. It's a great tool to use, but it's absolutely no replacement for knowing your stuff. You can imagine how helpful this app would be for me haha. Little bit of background, I'm a bass player. Here's my two cents on it, having hated the app before I tried it, and then gave it a fair shot. One thing I have been looking into is using a bicycle phone clamp on mic stand to hold the phone since i rarely get 'paper charts' on gigs anymore and it would be easier to transport to the gig.Īnything that makes you more efficient during practice is a Very Good Tool

I am a bass player so I am kinda OK with the lack of melodies but since I switched to Android I haven't found anything to replace iGigBook.hopefully someday. I still use Aberersold tracks for about 10-20% of practice time but the play along feature is just perfect to get those heads up to speed and solo on changes endlessly. I don't always agree but This is the part I use a lot for practice and study. Another thing I like about access to the forum is that a lot of people put up their re-harmonization of tunes I already (think I) know. Yeah I can transpose in my head but this makes for just one less thing to think about in a loud bar. I've been playing a jam session where a lot of singers come in (so what else is new?) and the transpose function is great (um Girl From Ipanema in D? r u sure?).

On my phone i can just log into the forum and with a quick search download the tune before it was counted off.

The reason I switched is because I was on a gig and someone called an obscure tune that was not in the Jazz playlist. i was using it on a tablet (without data) but now just use my phone and so far it seems fine visually with the smaller size. I love it for both practicing and on the gig.
