Apart from music recording, which software and/or apps do you use?

Music recording aside, which other software and/or apps do you use as a bass-player?

I use Transcribe! and Musescore.

Moisses for many things but track separation and bass mute is a big thing for me.

Guitar Pro 8 is a convenient notation app.

I have Soundcorset (metronome, tuner, recorder in one), perfect ear and Moises on my phone.

On my laptop I have Rocksmith.

Don’t have anything yet that properly records the bass.

Ultimate Guitar.

Yamaha ChordTracker (scans any song and maps the chord changes)
Metronomics (varies the subdivisions played based on probability sliders. Good for practicing to a drum line that isn’t consistent)
Drum Beats + (easy starter set of drum sounds and rhythm libraries)
Pro Metronome by EUM (Easy general use metronome)
Audipo
EarMaster
iReal Pro

Metronome for… ya know… metronome.

iStroboSoft + the 1/4" to lighting adapter to intonate and do really fine tuning. i have a pedal tuner but i find this is super accurate, easier, and 1/5th the price of a physical peterson strobe pedal.

This depends on if you count virtual instruments and amp sims as part of recording or not. They are in the DAW but I use them for more than just recording. So,

  • Kilohearts Phase Plant, plus Multipass and SnapHeap and all their snapin effects
  • Arturia V collection (~30 synths)
  • Arturia Pigments
  • Quite a few effects from Melda Production; mostly MChorusMB, MCharmVerb, and MDoubleTracker. Sometimes MTuner.
  • A few other synths from time to time
  • Melodyne 5 (surprisingly useful for analysis as well as correction)
  • A bunch of amp/cab sims, mostly from Kuassa or Brainworx
  • Yamaha ChordTracker and Peterson iStroboSoft on my phone. Oh and the Ikebe Gakki app :rofl:

That’s probably most of it. There’s a lot more I use while recording, mixing and mastering. And online I use Songsterr a lot.

Some time ago, I got an app for iPhone, “Complete Music Reading Trainer,” by Binary Guilt Software. It’s like a video game, you progress though levels, has bass, treble clefs and more. I don’t use it enough, but have done most of two chapters of Level One, at least. I no doubt heard of this app somewhere in the B2B forums.

Binary Guilt also makes two other apps, Complete Ear Trainer, and Complete Rhythm Trainer.

Take it easy. I had the 'rona and the fatigue is what kicked my ass hard. I still have no sense of smell.

Also Spark app. It’s a great practicing app the only thing is you have to own a spark.

that seems like a fairly significant impediment :sweat_smile:

I just discovered the app MetroDrum.

Instead of the tick of the traditional metronome there’s a variety of drum tracks to choose from (rock, metal, dance, jazz and so on), count in with the high hat, kick or snare drum or no count in at all and a BPM setting from 30 to 300 and has the traditional metronome option as well.
