This is the absolute GREATEST music program I've ever used! Mr. Suska has become a demonstration artist for this new program, so I had the priviledge to test it out today with my Nov. 11 recital piece, "Premiere Etude De Concours" by A.S. Petit.
Its mind blowing. The program will basically play the piano accompaniment, but what really sets this apart from other programs is it will slow down or speed up, according to how you're taking it!! Amazing, especially how you can take cadenzas, ritards or rallendandos and REALLY lengthen them out, and it will keep up with you (The second you hit a certain note, it will start right back)!! Now, with key changes, you have to tap a foot pedal to get it started in the new key, but it will already know where that should be!
You guys HAVE to, NEED to check it out! The mic and pedal are $10, and I dunno how the yearly subscription fee is individually, though the price will be considerably smaller if a lot of people subscribe! For me, since I would be subscribing as a STUDENT of an artist or teacher, it will be about 20 a year, so I dunno all the minor details as of now...
Again, I cannot stress this enough, you guys have GOT to try it! Its that damned good, I promise!
