Jamzone - Sing & Play Along

The good: tracks are pretty high quality, and some have different styled versions, which is good. Also, you only have to pay for tracks you want, and you can preview portions first. The bad: jazz coverage is weak. A few classics, like “All Of Me” we’re represented multiple times but a lot of the standards were missing. Also browsing for just the Jazz items was difficult, there is a Big Band playlist, but that had a lot of rock stuff in it. And Big Band is not the whole of Jazz by any means. Other than searching by name I couldn’t see any other way to find stuff, as the Jazz tunes seem to be buried, what’s there anyway, making it needle in a haystack time. But it has a few gems, “In The Mood” Andrews Sisters style allows you to mute each of the three vocalists individually, and most of the instrumentals are pretty nice sounding, seems a cut above the Midi-player style of backing. For me it’s probably useful for a couple of tunes, and that’s about it for now. Maybe they’ll add more later.

When using inner app there’s a latency problem. Some songs such as Lay Down Sally I’ll isolate or mute a guitar track and my sound will disappear. That did not happen on the Blues jam in C. I guess the best way to use this app is on its own and use my own amp/ mixer. Plus it’s tough to toggle to get the app you’re using to change tones. Every thing else is cool. Getting my chops back. Wow I need to practice! Thanks for all the hard work every one is doing. Tough way to make a living man. Michael. Jam Man Mike. Trying to respond to your response. I’m using Alesis IO Dock ll with an iPad Pro 12”. Using amplitude,Bias fx & AmpKit. Other interfaces are Apogee 1, I Rig pro,Peavey AmpKit HD & Griffin Studio Connect. I can’t get to your email to respond. I also have all apps on their latency that works from 128ml to low to ultra low per app. Thanks,Michael

I have been looking on iTunes for an app like this, many failed attempts though, But this app is the real deal! It has the chord progressions which you can change, remove any instrument or vocal to your liking. Then you can save it to a playlist for performing live. I can’t wait to try this in a live setting, I don’t have to deal with the drama of a band. Although I might hire a singer. And have more venues to play too. My only gripe with this app is the sample tracks should be longer, maybe 30 seconds or a minute? The app is free and you can try it out, you only pay for the tracks you want to buy. Play one gig with this and you already have all your money back...Start Jamming!!

This is an awesome app!! I use it whenever I practice and with the band when we are learning a new song! I like how we can connect to our gear and you can play along with the song. The only draw backs are the lack of songs which is understandable since this is a newer app, we will be looking forward to the upcoming new music. The other is the down load time. You don’t want to be in a hurry while downloading it take quite awhile even with a high speed internet. Hopefully that can be fixed as this app grows. Other than that this is an awesome app and well worth the time to get and use. It’s a very good tool for a musician or a band! Thanks guys!

I’ve been looking some an app like this for some time. I’m an old guy who is into classic rock, county and blues. This app just seemed to have a lot of the songs that I was looking to learn to play. Great features and I ran into a snafu where I purchased some credits but they weren’t showing up on the app. Customer service contacted me right away and corrected the problem along with a nice customer service gesture for the inconvenience. I definitely recommend this app - seems like they are getting better content all the time!
