Bandm8 is your all-in-one musical performance and rehearsal organizer. Keep track of your bands and their repertoires, create set lists, plan and advertise gigs, and use the built-in Practise Player to help with rehearsing those tricky passages.
Bandm8 stores detailed information on your bands; for each band you can build up a repertoire of albums and songs, and make detailed notes for each song (such as chord progressions or riff reminders). You can associate songs with tracks from your iTunes music library - if you are playing a cover, for example. And/or you can record some audio yourself - say, if you want a recording of your newest original masterpiece to practise against.
Once you have some audio associated with the song - either from your iTunes library or audio you've recorded yourself - you can then use the Practise Player feature to play along. With its looping functions and large user-friendly controls, it's the perfect way to practise with an instrument in your hands.
After practise, it's time to gig... Create set lists, drawing from your library of bands, albums and tracks. Simple editing controls allow you to play with the set until you've found the line up your fans want to hear.
Finally, once you're ready to gig, post the details to your Facebook wall and let your fans know. Bandm8 also keeps track of all your gigging information for posterity... a complete record of every gig you've played, the songs your fans heard, and any other notes you thought were important.
So if you're finding it hard to keep track of the numerous bands you're in, songs you play, tracks you should be rehearsing, and gigs you're supposed to turn up to - then Bandm8 is the perfect app for you!
