AudioStretch

This is *almost* the slow downer I’ve been looking for! Great clean interface (i really don’t know why most are so incredibly ugly) and it can read from the local library and my cloud services. The one thing that seems obvious and is missing is a “recent items” section in the file open dialog. I tend to be working on a few songs at once, so why not have the top item on the + menu be “recents >” that opens up a submenu list of the last twenty files, sortable by most recent or name, and then opens them with their last pitch/time settings, markers, and loop. Then it would be perfect! (Left the same review on the lite version and then immediately upgraded :)

One of my hobbies is that I sing 4-part barbershop music. The most conventional way to learn our music is that we get learning tracks with your part in one ear(channel) and the 3 other parts in the other ear. I have had other apps that also have the ability to slow down, change keys, block off sections to work but the biggest change with AudioStretch is that you can listen to a note or chord as long as you wish as long as your finger is on the screen. The feature is awesome when something is really fast or hard to hear. You can also load your own video and do the same thing there. The other feature that is different is that you cal load a piano bar at the top of the screen. It shows which notes are being sung and the overtones that are produced. If you learn your notes visually, this will help. This is the best out there to learn music. It might cost a little it is so worth it!!!!! ***Addendum*** As I mentioned earlier, I do have another similar app that has a lot of the same features. The one thing it has that AudioStretch does not have currently is the ability to keep a list of files that have been uploaded previously. It makes it easier to go back and forth to different files. If that feature were to be added, it would have everything I need. Thank you again for a great app!!!!!!

This app was suggested in a Facebook group and happened to get some great comments and the price was great! I went ahead and purchased the full version and have no regrets! In fact, just yesterday I recorded a bass line in a higher octave that was triggering a synth app. I decided I wanted a low octave to synch with it, but playing the bass line over exactly like the original would be virtually impossible! I exported the original bass line into the AudioStretch app and lowered the pitch down a full octave without slowing the file and there was very little sound degradation! I then exported back to my DAW and it was perfect! Another great feature is this app will change video audio without changing the video itself...just the audio. It really saves some steps if you are editing a video! I highly recommend this app! 😊💖✨

Recently I have encountered issues importing tracks from my iCloud. Sometimes, the same track would download and other times it won’t. I have no issues with internet connection. This has happened frequently with different tracks (MP3’s). I emailed Support a few weeks ago but hasn’t received a response. This is just a recent issue because I have been using the app for many years with no problem. I will upgrade the one star to 5 once I get a response and a resolution. BTW, I deleted the app and installed it several times. I’m using iPhone 11 Pro Max. When I restarted my phone the app worked fine. I’ll give back the 5 stars to my favorite app.

I use this app every time I need to transcribe a song. It’s become such a part of my toolkit, and if any musician asked me my favorite apps for professional level musicians - this would be number 1. You can slow down, loops sections, transcribe, scrub, and the keyboard even shows you what notes are being played at any given time. Additionally you can import many formats, so your not stuck with your iTunes library, just airdrop yourself an .mp3 and start transcribing. I can’t speak highly enough of this app, best value in the AppStore.
