Add One More Thing

KrizztianXO

I want to be able to hear recordings when my iPad screen is black/sleep.

Make it more responsive please

It’s a great step up from voice memos in that it focuses on musical memos, but it’s slow load speeds and touch responses make it difficult with which to work. Please make the animations faster or add more ram to what the app uses or something to make it faster so I can get my ideas down in a great app!

Drums sync to original acoustic guitar songs accurately

YouCrazyPug

I was surprised by how great this app worked to match a drum beat to my songs. For me it’s very accurate but probably not perfect to more trained ears. If you can keep time while strumming then the drums will follow and even anticipate when to accent or play fills. For me the whole reason I downloaded the app was for the drum backing, and after 10 years of playing acoustic guitar while constantly struggling to get them right using other music recording software, Music Memos works well. Maybe I’m the only one who found it difficult to match drums to an original acoustic song but this app solved that for me. It has been very cool to here some of my original songs with drums and a bass backing them. Bugs: While it’s true like many of the other reviewers have pointed out, there are some bugs that remain in the app. However from an honest point of view as somebody who has used the app extensively, I would say the ratio of the bugs and there affects on my recordings in a negative way is negligible. Keep in mind that there are many factors that cause bugs and many are not found within the app itself. Some people may be using older generation devices, or they may have devices that are low on memory which can cause glitches, or perhaps they may be over using the app. Let me explain.... this App in my opinion is designed to record a song to give you an idea of what it will sound like, not to fully produce and fine tune. Maybe adding some drums and bass to it with minor adjustments that app allows will give a good sense of the sound your looking for. But your overall goal should be to export to a dedicated music recording app or software. That’s one of the best features of music memos is that you can easily export it to GarageBand. This works great as it creates a new project and puts everything in waveform in separate tracks including your acoustic song, the drums, and the bass. Now your ready to mix. Interface: The app is very user friendly. All you do is hit record and play a song with your guitar using the built in mic or an audio interface. When your done just tap the drum icon, and boom your song just became a bit more real. Tap the bass icon and listen back. Need to make adjusts in timing, then change from 4/4 to 3/4, to 6/6 with ease. Trim, adjust bass notes, and Walla. Your very own song, look at you! Bass: To be fair I have found the bass is consistently inaccurate on matching the chords. In a way I don't mind the bass notes not matching b/c the app allows you to change each individual bass note and correct the inaccuracies note for note. This perceived flaw has actually opened up a new level of song creation. By having me fix notes almost every time it has allowed me to experiment with different variations of chords I have played getting a better overall sound. Maybe the Am7 sounds better then the Am? Well it’s easy to change and then just listen back to hear the difference. I have just worked it into my routine knowing I will have to go through and fix the bass notes, but considering I’m using an ai for a bass player who still does runs, I can live with that. With all that you have a well designed app for shaping fuller sounding songs, having drums and a bass to bring your song to life.

Please fix the bugs.

This app is a great idea. Especially since it’s an apple app. But I’m used to the quality standard of what Apple Inc. has to bring to the table. This app is not living up to its full potential. Please update it. Please fix the bugs. Please make it so it’s not sooooo laggy. Please make it so that you can play your idea while multitasking on another app. Please just give it some lovin. Make it faster. Maybe a little better interface with a metronome. Thank you for your time. Please make it happen.

It’s a great idea. However the execution leaves little to be desired.

Updating....

FSU guru

Since iOS 11 or this newest update, my recordings have been “updating” and I cannot listen to them. Please fix this so that I can hear those encouraging recordings!

This is good but many times after recording I have to get out of the app and then bring it back a minute later to record something else. It often will replay something I’ve deleted, if that’s the case I get out of the app and bring it back then it plays my latest record. Please update/upgrade this app.

Glitchy Apple Piece of Sheht

Prisonmike20

Music Memos is a good idea but a glitchy piece of garbage. Apple has over $250B cash in the bank and their products and software are becoming unusable glitchy CRAP. Eff you Apple and your overpriced glitchy garbage. Fix your sheht Tim Effwad and Jony Effhead. Steve J would hate you.

Thank you for making this App

This App is fantastic. I am not a sound engineer so the ease to record is great. And the other features are great as well. We laid down a song idea and our Bassplayer did not show up. No problem I pushed the Bass button and it did a great job. Then the sending of it to our Emails and Garage Band and Txt was so easy. We used to try to use a Tascam to record it never worked and was difficult to use. Thank you so much for making this App for Musicians like us. Rod Socull

Great even with bugs.

Lzyprson

This is by far the most useful music app, even with the bugs. I wish the auto record function was a little smarter and I wish there was a way to use a metronome with it picking up on the recording. FYI Much of the bugs revolve around the files constantly updating to other devices in iCloud. I really do hope Apple addresses this, but in the interim I’ll continue to use the app and look forward to new features. Ps. Restarting the app clears all bugs.
