![]() ![]() After all, there are many more than those which have been mentioned here, and I have engaged in similar dialogue with the devs of those apps, but they are not going to listen to one punter, however good their ideas may be. Perhaps some of you have personal contact with some of these devs? But it won’t happen by itself, and the devs won’t even be aware of these issues unless someone brings them to their attention.īut despite the sound quality of the samples used within SessionBand, I really wonder if their’s is the best approach to form a basis for this type of software. Stranger things have been known to happen, and it would be a win win situation for both sides. There must be a workable alternative, and perhaps all it would take would be a group of dedicated users like those on this forum and a dev willing to listen and try out the ideas which came out of such a think tank. I think that is probably at the root of certain UI decisions that both TH-U and the SessionBand apps reflect. I think that it is the iOS/iPadOS platform itself which creates limitations in these apps due to the limited screen size. I agree however that it might be a very good idea to use a totally separate app to input the actual song data, then save it in the required format. How are you going to do that in the present version of the SessionBand UI? For example it’s often necessary to have a chord appear slightly anticipated or late on the last beat of the bar. This is what is incredibly difficult, fiddly and time consuming using SessionBand. Although the HTML formatting may be simple, from my experience with iReal Pro albeit not on iOS it was one of being limited in terms of writing in timing syncopation, particularly across the bar. Respectfully, I don’t think that is such a good idea as it may seem. There are obviously some differences in the way ireal pro and SessionBand work, but it would not be a hard task for a programmer to code a feature that imports ireal pro format html songs into SessionBand, just ignoring parts that are for ireal pro specific features only. That is, you don't need ireal pro to write these ireal pro songs, you just write in html in any text editor and import to ireal pro. It's a simple format, written in html code, allowing users to quickly create and/or edit songs in any text editor, no need for any proprietary app. This is the format ireal pro uses to allow users to import entire libraries from user forums. There are hundreds, probably thousands, freely available. Much better, imo, would be for them to just add a feature to import songs that are written in ireal pro html format. But that won’t happen unless the devs start to really listen to feedback from their users and watch threads like this one.Įven if it had better editing facilities, it's ridiculous to require all song creation and editing to be done within the SessionBand app itself. These releases would be so good if only they were to revamp the UI and make the process of inputting chord changes and the drum patterns less tedious.
