University of Regina

Thanks to Shanan for letting me post about iHearit in the University of Regina blog.  U of R is where I did my B.Ed. degree, and though I'm living in Toronto now, I have great memories of U of R, the music department and the education department.  To my Regina friends, I'll be back in August and I hope to see some of you then...

v1.6 Now Available on the App Store

iHearit's new feature is in-app recording.  This is perfect for recording rehearsals and performance for later study / transcription / analysis.  The way it was before (and still is with any other slow-down app) you had to use Voice Memos or some other app to record, transfer the audio files to your PC/Mac, then transfer it back through iTunes to your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.  With iHearit you can record and analyze right away.  You can now easily transcribe musical vocabulary from lessons, gigs, etc. - in short, anywhere where musical inspiration is hitting you and you have your iPhone.

Enjoy!

iHearit reviews, new update soon

These links are courtesy of a musician friend who just bought an iPad and was searching for music apps.  iHearit is being recommended by musicians to other musicians, which is something that makes me feel quite warm and fuzzy:

And for those who own iHearit already, a bit of news for you - we have another update in the works.  I won't spoil the surprise, but lets just say it's an exciting and very useful feature that no other transcribing app for iOS offers yet.

v1.5.2 released - universal compatibility with all Apple devices and OS versions

v1.5.2 was released on the App Store today, and brings back into the fold users of iOS 3.1.3 (ie 1st gen iPhone and 1st and 2nd gen iPod Touch).  The new app binary works on any iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad regardless of hardware or OS version, and delivers new iOS4.x features (like iPod library import) only to devices that can support it.  I call it the "No Device Left Behind" policy and will have Laura Bush speaking on an extended world tour as a part of my new publicity campaign.  OK, just kidding about that last part.

v1.4 now live on the App Store!

The latest version of iHearit is now live on the App Store.  Please try out the touch and drag movable loop points and let me know what you think!  I've done some lifting with them and find it to be a very useful feature.  I think drummers and bassists in particular will enjoy being able to line up exact loops of grooves they want to study and play along with.  Enjoy!

v1.4 coming soon!

Version 1.4 is being worked on and is nearly done - the main new feature is movable touch and drag loop points.  This is an awesome feature which will let you set loops to very specific lengths ie 2 bars, exact phrases, with millisecond accuracy.  In it will also be a bug fix for songs where the last portion of a song goes missing.  I still haven't figured out why this happened on some songs and not others, but we do have the fix already implemented and will have it out very soon.  Thanks to the users who brought this to my attention.
