iPhone Practice Tips

admin Practice, Quick Tips, iPhone

First, to track my time I use Chronology. It’s a great, simple little app that supports multiple timers. And you can see that I also use it for my laundry :) .

Second, I have my practice playlist. I have used Amadeus to change pitch and speed as well as isolating passages.

Third, the program Decibel is great for monitoring your volume and working on bow control.

    I’ve got to get one of those iPhones – they’re just very expensive in the UK at the moment!!

    I think the mobile could eventually take the place of all the traditional practice partners (metronome, tuner, recorder, music player).

    It is a great tool but I do like having separate devices for a few reasons.

    -I use multiple devices (tuner, metronome, timer) simultaneously. Can’t do this with the iPhone

    -Battery life. A tuner / metronome with AAA or AA batteries last much longer than the iPhone.

    That being said it is great to have the tools with you at all times – as in the iPhone apps.

    Do you have any problem doing stuff with the iPhone given that it doesn’t have a built in copy and paste tool?

    I don’t have any problems with the lack of copy/paste with the tools I’m using. That said, I would like copy/paste as a system wide implementation.

    Until then, for some work arounds, let me recommend:
    Magic Pad
    Appigo’s Notebook (syncs to the web where you can retrieve via pc)
    PhoneView
    MobileFiles Pro
    AirSharing
    EasyEmail

    Thanks for visiting MostlyBass!
