AWESOME App for Performing LIVE with BACKING TRACKS - JamZone Overview

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for watching everyone! Also, just a quick correct, they add 450 new tracks each month... not 40 like I said in the video. Pretty crazy! Also to get that free month of the Pro Plan, you can use the link: jamzone.onelink.me/aiaO/scottuhl and that should automatically apply it. If not, use "SCOTTUHLMUSIC" as the code. Enjoy!

[@ChitiwnSlim]

Just wanted to let you know this video changed my life. I'm 70 years old and playing guitar since I was 14. Now I'm singing a lot and traveling and looking for a place to play. Have never been able to find a band. And can't figure out how to do the backing tracks. This does it all. Best thing I've ever done. Channel subscribe and I love it. Thank you thank you thank you

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! Glad to help and thanks for the sub!

[@kuklin-anton]

Thanks for your video! There is another great app for that called "Playback with metronome" which can play any number of tracks you want and also support lyrics, midi commands, multiple outputs audiointerfaces, basic EQ on every track, mixer and so on. Another cool feature is ability to connect two or more devices to play playback in sync through wireless connection. And no subscription!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to check it out. It looks very different from this app just by what it says in the App Store; but I’ll look into it more. Thanks!

[@JasonGraystone]

Ah man. if Stage Traxx partnered with Karaoke Version, that would be the ULTIMATE app

[@ScottUhlMusic]

That would be pretty crazy!! 🤘🤘

[@rcknrllmn4126]

Right on man ! That would be the bomb !

[@philipTOMPSETT]

Have you tried Moises? You can do any song you like and take out the instrument of your choice. Great for practice. I used to use KV but don’t need it now.

[@kensayers144]

i use both. it takes some effort to get karaoke tracks into stage traxx. i add a cues track and record lyrics to drive lights. wish st3 supported a midi track

i have a band at work. we all work remotely. we play a show each year of 11 songs. we have two days to rehearse together. to prepare, we use Jamzone to practice alone. when we come together we all have been practicing to the same structure. we run click during performance and show lyrics on monitors for vocalists. love this app

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice!

[@jamzoneapp]

[@scottbecker3485]

Your presentation of this is nothing short of outstanding. Thank you! I was aware of JamZone from the FB group for Backing Track Users (where you also posted the video), but your way of demoing it made it clear to me that I really need to book a JamZone plan. One thing I wish it could do is keep the drums and percussion unchanged when tuning down or up by more than a couple half-steps (such as needed to play songs originally sung by a woman). The drums and percussion can sound pretty „off“ when tuned a lot. That said, I would simply try to limit my use of JamZone to mostly songs that only need to be key-shifted by 0 to 3 half-steps.

[@SweetcornTA]

This is great, I’ve needed something like this for learning songs for rehearsals!

[@philliprickman1394]

Thank you for reviewing JZ! I have been a Pro subscriber for a couple of years and it just keeps getting better. I actually learned some things by watching your video. I was not aware of the multi-tracking capabilities. I will dig into that further. One thing I will mention; if you are in a band, the screen display can be routed to HDMI and sent to multiple users, so that everyone sees the same thing. Additionally, songs not yet available can be requested. JZ has been very responsive to my requests. They are the best!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Oh nice! That’s good to hear! I appreciate you sharing that as some people were asking for it. Thanks for sharing your experience 🤘

I agree completely. I hope they add that 👍

[@Hansenfutz-b4v]

Thanks for the great video. I just can't believe there is no option to customize the precount length. That being the case an 8 count should be the standard. If / when transmitting via Bluetooth to my mixer, most times the first click note is not broadcast/received. I'm a drummer and it's really tough counting off 2 notes with only having 1 note as a heads-up.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I agree, I do wish you could set the count in. But be cautious using Bluetooth for live audio because of the latency

Scott, is there a way to share a screen with various bandmates? For example, if I’m controlling the main Ipad, can the singer see a separate Ipad screen showing the lyrics? The video was very well done

Thanks Scott for these great videos. Is there a good Android analog of Stage Traxx? Thanks for your time.

My honest advice is to get an iPad. I know people hate that, but if you are just playing audio files, that’s fine… but for more advanced stuff, IPad truly is the way to go. Having said that, maybe BandHelper

I can not find it on the microsoft (windows) store. Is it only apple comuters?

Another great video Scott! Would I be possible to use my Airstep Lite for midi control?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I believe so? And thanks!

[@Ebencrowe]

@ ima going to give the Airstep a try. Jamzone is hands down the easiest most flexible option out there. It has limitations compared to the others but for me the “looping sections” puts it over the top.

[@user-qg5ki5lg6s]

Once you’ve created your set lists with your adjustments in each song, are you able to use the app without an internet connection?

Impressive set of features. Do you think it's accurate enough to be an effective way to "learning" the different parts of a tune?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Definitely!

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there! You have a loop section in Jamzone to loop the specific part of the track you want to practice. You can also slowdown the bpm to make it easier. More infos on our blog or on our KZbin channel :)

[@ryanfishel9394]

Question: if you change the chords to "beginner", do the backing tracks also only play beginning chords? Or, if the song naturally has them, does it retain the advanced chords while only giving you beginning chords?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

No, the backing tracks stay the same 👍

[@ARSmusicLA]

Have you played with outputting the click track, Scott? That’s my next to do item, meaning purchase an IEM and connect to my EV50m where I run Jamzone out my iPad. Finding this will be handy for a couple of songs at least. Thanks for sharing this. 💯

[@ScottUhlMusic]

JamZone gets a lot of great options for routing the click track 👍

[@hiltong524]

A Cool feature to add would be the ability to have 4 lines to display instead of 2, expecially if you minimise the mixer. I use a 13in iPad, so 6 or 8 lines would be handy. A friend suggested the lyrics could be increased in size (like you can in Bandhelper etc)

[@martincarlin1987]

I'm a big Stage Traxx fan but this looks good, only thing I would miss is vocal cues like you said but there is the visual indicator at the top. One other thing that I don't think was mentioned unless I missed it, does it have sessions so that everyone can see what's happening on their own device? Splitting stems and importing tracks in ST3 takes time and effort but offers more flexibility whereas with JamZone it looks like you can pretty much download a song and play it which would be handy for requests.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It doesn’t seem to have the session option that stage Traxx has. Another comment said you could connect to HDMI, but that seems more complicated. It would be a nice feature for sure!

[@lgovantes1]

Great video. I use Stage Traxx 3. It seems very similar, but less labor intensive. I think it is a bit expensive. Any thoughts? I also like ST3 MIDI capability to embed codes in lyrics.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah this is if you don’t want to do all the work of making custom tracks/charts yourself. And it doesn’t have a way to do midi out in JZ

[@lgovantes1]

@ScottUhlMusic Thanks for your input. Maybe both are good to use...the free version of JZ to learn, and have as a backup, and ST3 for the main giggig app. I use Ultimate guitar, and Karaoke version and Band in a box for source music/lyrics tracks. It is a bit time-consuming, but then you have it forever!

[@kevinrochestermn]

This is a great concept, but the 128k sound quality is a show stopper. For live shows it's just not good enough. Any future improvement in the area?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can get the high quality ones with the pro plan

[@kevinrochestermn]

@ScottUhlMusic thanks for the response. I did sign up for the pro plan with your discount code. Thanks. But the pro plan audio is 128 kbps, which was high quality in the early 2000s, but today's version of high quality is not 128. By the way, I did enjoy your presentation of this video. It was very well laid out and explained.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

@ oh really? Strange I thought that it was just for the other one. My bad! Thanks for checking that 👍

[@nordicguitar8395]

This summer I played a short time with a cover band and they used this. I didn’t like that some songs had a four count. Drummer had the click in his ears and it isn’t enough time to start. Singer/bass would push play and then drummer wouldn’t be able to get but 2 or 3 hat hits to start. Other songs would have slight breaks where I saw the metronome time shift up and down. Check out the end of Prince “Let’s Go Crazy” and I defy a band to get back in sync to play the ending. There’s some great things about the app but in my experience the weaknesses make it really hard to use as a full band.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I do wish you could set the count in, I agree. And let’s go crazy is nuts! I made my own click for that outro. But that song wasn’t recorded to a click, so it’s definitely not easy to make to a click, that’s for sure. Thanks for the feedback and comment 👍

[@lisalovegirl]

Not sure if I missed it, but I play a half step down but my tab shows/reads standard chords. Not sure if the app can show/read standard chords with the music being a half step down? Thank you for your time & all your content. :)

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It does have a transpose feature to change the key of the song 👍 just have to make sure it’s correct based on how you set the tuning

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi Lisa, with Jamzone, you can choose how you want to play a song, and the sheet music that appears in the app will be based on your preferences :)

Absolutely!

[@ironblast5]

Not a fan of subcription based products but this has some cool ideas

[@kissthissonline]

You forgot to mention, does it sync over multiple iPads, ie 1 iPad for each band member, like jam trax 3 does? If so, is that one 1 subscription, or does every iPad have to have its own subscription?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I believe it’s just per iPad

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there, you can use the same Ipad for a band using an external screen via HDMI. It's useful if you want to have one subscription and a bigger screen. To sync over multiple Ipads is not available at the moment but stay tuned ;)

[@SlackerWannaB]

I’d been wondering about Jamzone. Is there any bridge ti also have DMX lighting cues and instrument pedal effects settings? Trying to find an easy, but robust backing track setup. I might be asking for too much.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

No, this app won’t do that. I would imagine they would eventually have midi out before they ever do DMX out.

[@exrehab]

Nice Review! Thanks. I've been considering switching to backing tracks, but the hassle of editing each song (let alone paying for each track) has made me pause. This app seems to solve both of my problems! Now, one of the key decision drivers for me is the ability to program a light show for each song. I can't find any specifics on their website about light programming, but I assume that this can be done via Midi. Scott, is there a Midi output? is it possible to program lights somehow using Jamzone?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah it’s a massive time saver for that. And there currently is no midi output at this time. Hopefully they do that at some point

[@jansonpig]

This looks like something I can really use to save my ass on stage! Now just one little question....can I load custom backing tracks?

Hey Scott, great video as always. I have a couple questions which I didn't see answered in your video. Can it record MIDI messages on an automation track and send it to other devices? I currently use an app called "Set List Maker" and it does that. I have my tablet controlling my guitar effects pedalboard and it turns pedals ON/OFF at the right time in a song. My other question is, can it display the lyrics in full screen mode? Perhaps with Chords as well? Thanks..

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And it doesn’t have midi automation. And when you close the mixer you get a pretty nice screen with lyrics and chords 👍

[@pilot140467]

[@rassabossa4554]

Looks cool. I will try it. Do you know if the app can sync with other iPads running Jamzone? Maybe wired together via usb? For instance, let's say your band is learning a song and each person has their own ipad. One guitar is playing standard tuning but the other guitar is using a capo (or different tuning) and wants to see those different chords scrolling and maybe the keyboard wants to transpose as well for easier chords. It would certainly be more sales for them.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I didn’t see an option for that when I was going over it, so I don’t believe so

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there, this option is not available at the moment. Howewer, you can use an external screen via HDMI. more infos about it on our blog :)

Sounds like an opportunity for an AI integration! “Make me a cover song that sounds like xxxx….” Or “can you guys play song xyz…”. Now that would be another level (and price!)!

It’s interesting for sure with ai music sites like Suno. Although I don’t believe you can currently say “make it sound like this artist” yet

[@MarcoStarink]

I had a Jamzone subscription and found that when lowering the key (even half a step), the sound quality (especially bass + acoustic guitar) degraded a lot on certain songs. I must say i had the basic subscription. Do you think the pro subscription is better?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

No, it will be the same. But if you pitch shift anything up or down more than a whole step you can get artifacts. But I usually don’t have an issue with it personally!

[@MarcoStarink]

@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks man!

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there, the drum and percussion tracks remain unchanged when the pitch is adjusted. This applies to all instruments, and the pitch or transposition feature is especially useful with Jamzone, particularly for harmonica players who need to transpose songs to their specific keys. If you have a list of songs that are affected by pitch changes, we’d be happy to hear more about it. With the pro version, you'll have access to songs in HD.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I don’t believe so

[@JohnDAddona]

I just bought the B Beat Pro 16 for running my back tracks, which was very expensive. Does the Jamzone do the same thing for much cheaper? I did want to get away from laptops using Ableton just because computers are so unreliable. Your thoughts.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

B Beat is such a different product than JamZone. They are quite different in what they can do

[@JohnDAddona]

@@ScottUhlMusic I'm use to making my own tracks from using Ableton. But if you had to choose. For a more pro end result for playing live with backtracks and functionality, what would you recommend(B-Beat Pro 16 or JamZone).

[@stratacousticman]

It’s a shame there’s no way (yet) to share the screen with other iPads in a band scenario, unfortunately, no way to print lyrics or chord sheets…but your review is great and it is a great product.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I agree, that would be great!

[@adrianbambrough7366]

How about if you get a song request and it isn’t in your set list ?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

This would be perfect for that! As long as you have an internet connection, you can load up that song 🤘

[@rewind2play]

As i produce my own backing trax this app is a no.. but i can see why other petformers would use it.. great video..

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Agreed! Thanks 🤘

[@robsmith5388]

Is there a way to change the chords? i’ve noticed a couple songs that I play a little differently and I’d like to change the cord. Is that possible?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Not manually, no

[@robsmith5388]

@ well other than that it seems to be a pretty good app but unfortunately that’s a dealbreaker for me. Maybe they could make a change so that you could change the chords. Thanks for the video. I appreciate your work.

[@12xpartyrockdanceband61]

After you mix you song, do you have the file and are you able to drop into a program like logic, to make medleys of a few mixed songs/files? Some don't play the entirety of songs and prefer to make medleys.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

No, you can’t do that. It’s all saved on the app

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there, Each song is available in the app. You can record and download your performances, and any modifications to the songs are made directly within the app.

[@GJL1980]

It’s a great app but just so frustrating trying to find a way to record your practice with guitar effects on. I’ve been trying for days with my Mac and always plays back with a clean tone or is really badly recorded. Have to use the iPad only I think ?.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

That might be only for iPad, I’m not sure, I don’t really use the record feature tbh

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there, recording is available with the Pro account. If you have an issue with the sound or this feature, please contact our support team for assistance

[@mowdre6683]

Has this just made all my work for ST3 redundant?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It’s not a bad option for a backup!

[@runemoe55]

Can I import my own recorded tracks into the app?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Not with this app. Look into stage Traxx 3 or MultiTracker (I have videos on both)

[@BatteryIncTribute]

The multitrack routing in Stagetraxx is so much easier. I can’t get anything to output from Jamzone in my x32 X-Live

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Weird… you should be able to basically follow the same steps!

[@BatteryIncTribute]

@ Not sure what it is. It’s not recognizing X-Live as an input on my IPad, but it works fine on my iPhone. Might have to do with the fact I’m using an older iPad with IOS 15.8.1 although it supposed to be supported.

[@hughbetcha6922]

I'd be curious to know if there is any other way to loop a track using a foot controller such as the one in this video. Let's say I'm not satisfied with the song list provided in jamzone. Just wondering.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Crazy that you aren’t happy with the songlist. I found basically every single song I was looking for except maybe 1 out of like 500 tracks. But you should be able to do that well with midi. Restructuring you would need to do by hand I believe

[@jamzoneapp]

Hi there! You can use MIDI devices to control Jamzone. As for the song list, we add more than 400 songs every month, and you’ll have access to over 60,000 songs! :)

[@hughbetcha6922]

@@ScottUhlMusic I'm not crazy, I simply don't know if I'm happy with the song list because I haven't seen it. Can you provide a link where I can view that list?
