SessionBand Jazz 2 Reviews

Does not interface correctly with audio bus... Can't consistently get output to DAW...

The SessionBand apps are a lot of fun, unfortunately the don't work with Audiobus as advertised.

I purchased volumes 1,2 and 3 thinking that SessionBandJazz2 would be an improvement over the iReal Pro app in terms of play along sound quality. As far as sound goes, SessionBandJazz2 is excellent, however, it's missing some very fundamental cords and can't perform slash-cords either. SessionBandJazz2 has great potential but needs some updates.

I d like a stop button, with fade out. And several cue points, would be very nice.

Thank you. Heaven apps.

I think I have all the SessionBand apps, and I love them. As a songwriter, I find that these apps and the many included demo songs are a fantastic inspiration for new songs. I've probably got 20 fragments of in-work songs (mostly needing lyrics which is not SessionBandJazz2's fault!). I've finished 2 or 3 and it gives me a fresh approach compared to writing on guitar, keys, etc. Something like Band-in-a-Box with RealTracks which I use on PC but better for writing on long airplane flights.

Aside from that, the musical and technical quality of the recorded sample are quite good, and the UI and workflow are quite well thought out. Jazz Vol. 2 is better than Vol. 1 for me as i like the variety of styles. My only complaint is that I wish there were an easy way to export each individual instrument for AudioCopy to GarageBand. Maybe there is but I haven't figured it out so I have to solo each track, monitor the automation on the mixer screen, save, export, repeat. Not the worst thing but feels kludgey. This one also supports Audiobus but I prefer copy paste unless I'm overdubbing a part, as when using a synth app to play a part in GB.

GREAT JOB! Make more!

I was using volume one of SessionBandJazz2 to produce background tracks for my short films. I've had tremendous success using it and I was excited to see this new version come out with more styles of jazz to choose from.

Overall, very happy with the results SessionBandJazz2 produces. The fact that there are videos that go over the styles and demonstrate what it means to create a professional sounding track make the process that much easier.

Definitely a quality app and will continue to use it.

This is like a cross between iReal Pro and Band in a Box with real tracks. I love the sound of BiaB with real tracks but it isn't convenient to have the computer all of the time. This fills in the gap and gives me the better sound quality I'm missing from iReal.

Super app. The first version of SessionBandJazz2 was perfect and now I had to get the v2. This version adds more tracks and allows you to record unlicensed music right to your tablet. If you love jazz you'll love this!!

Just like its predecessor, Jazz 2 is packed with high quality loops in a wide variety of styles. Having some knowledge of music theory is definitely helpful, but not an absolute requirement.

If you’re tired of computer-generated stuff, try the live tracks from this company. You can edit them anywhere you want, and they sound fantastic.
