AudioScrub (PLAY Edition) Reviews

by Joseph Dewilde

AudioScrubPLAYEdition was great but now it will not open with 13.5.1 IOS. Needs an long overdue update

by ChaWha

I am using AudioScrubPLAYEdition to learn several songs (drums) including In my time of dying (From physical graphiti)

I want to save several sections of this song and work these parts individually.

I was looking for your quick start guide and sent an email from AudioScrubPLAYEdition with no response

So is the not app to channel my inner John Henry Bonham

Tempo would change despite moving it down to 66%. Not intuitive to use.

App will not load my music library. I can see Playlists and find songs that way, but there's nothing in the Artists, Albums, or Songs tabs. In order to get anything to play I have to first make sure I've added the song to a playlist. Very inconvenient.

As far as the playback and looping goes, it works great. Looping sections, skipping back, etc. All that seems to work rather well.

If it would actually load my music library so I wouldn't have to do this stupid playlist workaround I'd give it 5 stars.

UPDATE:
After talking with the developer, they told me that in order to play any songs they must be downloaded to my device. This makes no sense, since I can play anything from a playlist, even if it's not downloaded. They also CLEARLY say in the description "Including streaming Apple Music songs", which is not true.

A musicians dream! Concepts and and the interface is awesome. I just wish it would respond to my touches and not be so glitchy. It’s make it frustrating to use it when you’re trying to learn a song. 5 start if the bugs are fixed. It worked seemly before the iOS 11 update. I think the problem may lie in the new feature where AudioScrubPLAYEdition is trying to steam the song from the library rather than actually opening the song in AudioScrubPLAYEdition .

I was under the impression that I could slow down guitar lick to hear it cleaner. Not sure what the metronome icon does to bring it to a minimum of 66% (whatever that means).
I had a free app “song loop” that was great and very simplistic interface and could save songs edits. This seems to fall short of that.

Appreciate the response but the tempo does not slow down or even speed up (66%-125%) when using the metronome icon. iOS 11.4. Which is not a new release. Otherwise would change the rating. But as of now I would NOT recommend AudioScrubPLAYEdition .
Thanks

Again, thank you for the multiple response. Good communication. I’ll upgrade to 12. I can confidently recommend AudioScrubPLAYEdition. The developer seems committed to a quality product.

I honestly didn’t realize (until I rated AudioScrubPLAYEdition), how many apps I have by this developer! All of the devs apps are well made, with the user in mind.
If you are a musician then you will find that this developers apps have more than one use! (For example, AudioScrubPLAYEdition is perfect for listening to your library OFF line!) as well as being able to see the ‘Wave’ file (a visual representation of the song)

I know that this may be off topic for a review, but to anyone who may take the time to read reviews, and think of reviews as an extra learning tool, I implore you to look below to the developers other apps, or type in the search bar:

sonogrid

Sonogrid is NOT a toy,(although it’s a BLAST) but a powerful-

* Beat Generator…. A unique way to create melodic beats!

* Metronome…. A amazing way to let in time while practicing, delve deep into timing and odd signatures, that can only be found mostly in other very COSTLY $$$ metronomes!

* Sequencer! Unique melodic sequencer, with tons of amazing sounds!

Thank you Dev for amazing apps, and I hope that you continue to make apps to make musicians lives a bit easier!

I've been using AudioScrubPLAYEdition for years now and it has really been an affordable option for learning guitar licks and riffs by ear. Great for transcribing. It may experience some small bugs now and then but the interface is incredibly easy to use. After years the developer is still updating and correcting bugs with each iOS update. I think I've been using AudioScrubPLAYEdition for roughly 3 years now and it has never let me down.

I love to write music! and one of the ways I write is by looping my beats. When I exit out of AudioScrubPLAYEdition to go to my writing app, it no longer loops! Please fix this!! There is NO OTHER app that can do that and I think it’s an essential part of learning music. Pretty please!!!

Many thanks to the creator of AudioScrubPLAYEdition. I reach for it every time I need to learn a song.

I couldn't learn the Holdsworth solo to "In the Dead of Night" without this!

At first I found AudioScrubPLAYEdition a little confusing but the more I used it the more I realized how well designed it was.

The best thing about it is its well-designed A-B repeat feature. As a classical singer, I use it to repeatedly play back small segments within a larger piece, and particularly small segments that are of greater than average difficulty. This helps me master them very quickly. You could not ask for a better tool for that. It is also very easy to change the A and B points as you go.

It basically lets you select any of the songs already found in your device's music application, and then lets you modify their playback in accordance with your needs.

While my primary need is an easy to use A-B repeat feature, it also allows you to speed up or slow down playback without changing the pitch. (A different version of AudioScrubPLAYEdition also allows you to change the key in which a song plays back, but that one only allows you to load one song at a time, so this is the one to get if the music you're trying to memorize is saved on multiple tracks.)

The only negatives are: (1) the lack of a good set of instructions built into AudioScrubPLAYEdition , (2) if using it on an iPad, it only displays in landscape mode and (3) I would love it if the repeat feature would continue to work when you are in a different app reading the lyrics you are trying to memorize. These are not major drawbacks though. As to the lack of a good set of instructions, you can quickly learn what you need by trial and error(or by sending an email to the designer).

This has quickly become an indispensable app for me.

If you're a musician who uses an iPhone or iPad to learn songs, then you will love AudioScrubPLAYEdition. If you hate music players with cluttered up, busy screens and tiny little control buttons, you will love AudioScrubPLAYEdition.
This player has a very intuitive, clean, plain, display with large control buttons for even the fattest fingers. It's obvious AudioScrubPLAYEdition was designed by a musician who needed a better music player for learning and practicing songs. This is the best app I've seen, so far, for doing just that.

Works perfectly on my iPhone 6s on iOS 9.2.1. I tried all the features and there have been no crashes are glitches so far. This is AudioScrubPLAYEdition I've been looking for to be able to learn music. I love hitting the rewind button and having to go back a few seconds. It's also easy to set a locate point hitting the different rewind button that goes back to that locate point. It's a very intuitive app. Extremely easy for me to figure out. Thank you for creating AudioScrubPLAYEdition!

AudioScrubPLAYEdition works very well, nice graphics, and a very intuitive interface. They have taken the best features of this and other apps in the ilift family to make a simple and powerful tool. Having used other ilift programs, I know how much they have done to improve and hone both the interface and the functioning of AudioScrubPLAYEdition .
