Vital to My Live Performances
This app has changed the nature of my live performances as a solo artist. I am able to play drum beat tracks in a set list and send midi clock to my looper pedal to sync my loops with the beat tracks. I do three hour sets like this for several years and it has worked flawlessly. My one ask is to make the stop/pause button bigger. I sometimes miss it when I’m playing live. I need to be able to stop the track on a dime, but the button is a little small. I’m using an iPad mini.

Very good in a lot of ways
This is the third backing tracks app I have used and it is by far the best. It is easy to import a wide range of audio file types from anywhere you can access them, locally and in the cloud. Creating “sets” of tracks is straightforward, and manipulating playback is just as easy. The screen layouts are simple and very well organized and the fonts are easy to read, which is essential for my eyes in their advanced age. Highly recommended.
