        In my quest to find good software, I came across this not to long ago. http://www.riffstation.com/ Looks neatand all.. Anyone have it, what do you think of it?

        Here’s the add video from YouTube https://youtu.be/gX0HxLDPYcU

          That does look very impressive. Could be on my Christmas list.

          The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

          It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

            $35 us at that.. I haven’t downloaded the demo yet, only quickly looked over the web site. One thing that could potentially be annoying is conflicts with a purchased copy and the demo copy. I only mention this because there was link to support on how to uninstall the demo.. I didn’t read any further on it. I have seen this before with other software, where a demo and a working copy could conflict.

            The only thing the demo says it will not do is save files.

            The YouTube channel has tons of demos and tutorials too..

            Also, here is a more in depth review of it.. https://youtu.be/MuwnCHwPIqc

              Wow. This does look very cool. Interesting note about the demo/working copy conflict Pete. I didn’t know that could happen.
              Cheers

                I use it on a regular basis but I’m sure that I haven’t tapped into its full potential.

                One way that I use it is to play instructional videos – of course, it won’t display the video but it will play the audio side of it. Previously, I used the VLC Player for this but I’ve found Riffstation’s looping function is much easier to use and the fidelity of the audio is much better when you slow it down.
                Its does calculate the chords and is fairly accurate, however, it will on go to 7th chords. It can’t determined diminished, augmented or extended/altered chords such are common is jazz and fingerstyle. I emailed their support desk and they are hoping to have an update in the future to provide that function but that was nearly a year ago so I’m not holding my breath for its release

                Well worth the investment

                  You might want to look at Transcribe! (Mac & PC) or Anytune (Mac & IOS) before you part with your money.

                  Good luck.
