iTablaPro Lite

This app is good for 30 seconds, but then it stops! It has these time out things that is not good for when I am doing things like raags and songs. I mean, the tabla sound is good, but it glitches a lot. And the tanpura stops in half the time of when the tabla stops! And this is really expensive. If I could make this app, it would be cheaper AND better than this. :(

Rather than a limited feature version, this is a basic pro version that times out after a minute or so. That’s fine. I guess it is a sample of the $25 or $30 version, so you can see if you want to invest that much. Just realize you can’t really use this version for serious practice. I am a Western style musician. I was just looking for a drone to practice with. I have to do some more trial and error exploring in this app to see if it works well for me. I did like using the tabla (drums) as a metronome. That’s definitely more fun than a traditional metronome for about a minute. There’s a pretty steep learning curve for this app. All the terminology is referenced to Indian music. That’s also fine. It is what it is. Just be aware that you are going to have to expand your musical horizons a lot.

This app could be so amazing but it stops playing if you switch to another app (for example a recording app such as iTalk). In other words, you can’t record your ideas into your phone unless you have another phone to do the recording. I was about to buy iTablaPro but have decided to pass on it. Please make these changes!
