As you would expect, the more credits you buy at once, the cheaper it is per credit.

If you want to get backing tracks for other songs, then you can buy them with “song credits”. If you click on “See all free” in the top right you can then browse the free song section (you can also filter by instruments, genres, difficulty & language). With a new subscription, you do get one free song included, so think about a song you’d really like to have to practice with – that way you can test out Jamzone in depth before paying for a single thing. The way Jamzone works is you don’t need to pay anything to get the app, and there are tons of free songs available in it – but you do have to pay for any song that is not in the free section. When you open the app you will be on the “Explore” page where you can browse or search for songs: Jamzone Library

Once you have downloaded and installed Jamzone (and created an account) then you can get started. That way, you have lifetime access to those songs regardless of whether you choose to maintain a subscription. If you had purchased song credits prior to October 2022, you still have lifetime access to those songs, even if you only choose a free Jamzone subscription package but if you have unused credits as of October 1st, they will convert those credits to a credit on a subscription – SO IF YOU HAVE UNUSED CREDITS YOU SHOULD BUY SONGS WITH THEM BEFORE THIS CHANGE HAPPENS WHETHER YOU INTEND TO BUY A SUBSCRIPTION OR NOT. With Premium, you have full access to all songs in Jamzone’s library and with Pro you also get some upcoming extra features like downloading. There are 3 subscription levels: Free (you can download tracks from the free library, and listen to 45 second snippets of non-frre tracks), Premium & Pro. The screen shots and descriptions below are from the old model, where you would buy credits to exchange for lifetime access to song backing tracks.Īs of October 2022, this has been replaced by a subscription model where you pay a monthly fee to maintain a subscription which gives you access to THE ENTIRE JAMZONE LIBRARY – as long as you maintain your subscription. UPDATE: Jamzone has changed how they charge for tracks effective October 1st, 2022 – instead of selling song credits, they have moved to a subscription model. Please note that I am reviewing the iOS version on my iPad. Screen Shot Of Jamzone on iPad What Platforms Are Available?Īt the time of this review, Jamzone is available for Mac, iOS & Android devices. easily loop certain sections of the song over and over (so you can practice a difficult section, or if you are using Jamzone in a live setting, you could loop a solo section for as long as you want with one touch and then return back to the rest of the song with one touch).adjust the key signature up or down (note that if you are using the included vocals they can sound “chipmunky” or super-bass’y if you adjust the key up or down alot).adjust relative volume between each of the individual instrument/vocal tracks.And while I mostly play piano and use the app for that, keep in mind you can use this app with any instrument.

And as you play along, Jamzone will display the chords and lyrics in real time, as well as where you are within the entire song. So it is NOT just “canned” drums, bass and chords that follow your playing like you get on keyboards with arranger functions – when you download a new song, you will be getting an extremely well done cover of that song. This app basically becomes a band that you can jam with, complete with all of the instruments & vocals (including backing vocals) used in the song you are working on. Jamzone is an app that provides REALLY well done backing tracks for tons of songs (and they are constantly adding new ones). UPDATE: Jamzone has changed how they charge for tracks effective October 1st, 2022 – instead of selling song credits, they have moved to a subscription model – more in that section below What Is Jamzone Backing Tracks? When I found Jamzone I was really blown away by how much this app can do, so I immediately purchased some song credits (more on that later) and have been using it ever since to both practice with and to use as amazing quality backing tracks when I want to record a cover song. This is my review for the Jamzone backing tracks app I first found this app in early 2020 when I was looking for apps with just some simple backing drumbeats to play along with.
