In comparison to a sort-of 'acoustic' backing in Chordpulse "Unplugged 16T" (this is actually one of my favorite backing track styles, I use it a lot for practicing all sorts of different tunes), here has the same Liberty melody: Here's iRealPro Bluegrass Liberty, my same MIDI 'fiddle' on all these audio files here: It's not bad, I think the iRealPro Bluegrass might actually sound a little better than the Chordpulse try at bluegrass. there is a bluegrass one.its not the greatest but its ok. hard to explain but here's a screenshot of iRealPro bluegrass Liberty (normal) vs iRealPro reggae Liberty (half tempo but same melody speed) - the "before" pic is the version that came in the iRealPro "Bluegrass 300" playlist: so it's kinda like a slow backing played to a fast fiddle tune. On some of these, whether using either iRealPro or Chordpulse, sometimes I set the app tempo to * half* the actual desired tempo and then (IMPORTANT) I make half as many bars *but* all the bars hold twice as many chords. (Tech blurb: I wrote the 'fiddle' part in MuseScore on PC, transferred the iRealPro WAV file from phone to PC, then I merged the 'fiddle' and the backing together in Audacity.)įor comparison, IMO the iRealPro reggae etc tracks are in the same fun category as stuff like the Windows PC Chordpulse app's "Beach Night": Your browser does not support the audio element. Here's my MIDI 'fiddle' tentative arrangement of Liberty with an iRealPro "Reggae" backing track: That sounded like something I needed to try, so - after reading yours and others' advice here - I installed iReal Pro on my phone, and yep you're right, Glam Funk is fun, and so is Reggae! Its fun to sometimes change up the backing track and play along.I especially liked Liberty in the Glam Funk mode. PM me your email and I'll send you a few sound files for you to listen to. I think if I want it on my desktop I have to purchase it again but I don't need to its on my iPad and I play it thru a Bose SoundLink speaker when I want really nice sound. The support is excellent, anytime I've had a question or an issue they have responded and answered/solved it usually within a few hours. It used to be I had to export the file and restore on the other device, not sure how android works but probably similar. You install the app and its on your device so yes, you can access anytime, they added an iCloud thing where I can sync across devices now. Ive been using it for about 4 years now and they have added new rhythm tracks - I don't recall if I had to purchase them - there is a bluegrass one.its not the greatest but its ok, most selections let one choose from several different instruments. Thanks in advance for any additional info. Maybe it was user-error on my part, maybe I just didn't spend enough time with the app, not sure. So about iRealPro, is it not just for jazz anymore? I tried it once, probably around several years ago, but ended up uninstalling it because all the backing options kinda sounded the same which put me to sleep, like on a public radio easy-listening channel or something, I actually like that kind of music but it wasn't what I was looking for in the way of backing tracks to practice along with, I was looking for more variety of styles/genres, especially some funk and things like that. I already use ChordPulse on my laptop, it has kept me happily occupied for several years now, but I'm certainly not opposed to broadening my horizons with additional apps if the newer version of iRealPro is better than it used to be. I'm thinking about trying it again but would like to hear more about it first. Maybe it was user-error on my part, maybe I just didn't spend enough time with the app, not sure.Īlso, once you get or write the tracks you want, does the app work offline? (without internet or data or wifi connection). There are over 300 BG tunes, for any that aren't already done its easy to edit or duplicate existing files for your purpose.So about iRealPro, is it not just for jazz anymore?

In addition to the forum downloads its easy to share iRealPro files with another user.
