Capo 4+

Since I started using Capo, I've found my chord transistions (especially to barre chords) has improved. And I'm having fun again. I wasn't thrilled with the subscription idea, but I feel that in the last two months I have gotten my money's worth. Some things I'd like to see: 1. Size of fret numbers beside the chord diagrams a bit larger. 2. The ability to expand all chords with one switch rather than individually. 3. Display Capo status (which fret) at the bottom of the screen so it is apparent without opening the drop-down. Maybe under the display of the key. 4. There seems to be an intermittent glitch where trying to open a chord leaves the play-back at that location but jumps the display to the beginning. 5. Ideally, the ability to add lyrics on the practice page. 6. The ability to add notes pertaining to the song (ex. Any pedals, amp setting, etc.). Don't take these items as criticism (well, maybe #4) I really like Capo. It has realy helped me with speed and accuracy of chord transistions (especially barre chords). And fun!

Thanks so much for all this feedback. Glad to hear you're having fun again! :) If you're experiencing 'glitches' or bugs in Capo, please email us in Support so we can figure out exactly what is going wrong and then we can work to correct it.

I remember using an older version of Capo before this new Capo 3 and I found it to be an indispensible tool. I loved it and raved about it. It didn't give me chords or anything if I remember correctly, but it was great for highlighting a section of a song and slowing it down to learn it. This new version with snap regions and beat detection has become so cumbersome to use given how inaccurate the alignment oftentimes is, and the downbeat editing doesn't seem to help in any meaningful way. I actually took a song I couldn't get to loop right in capo, trimmed it to only the section I wanted in another app, added it back to Capo as a clean 8 bar section, and Capo still wouldn't allow me to set the region correctly because of what it inaccurately detected. This great piece of software has become incredibly cumbersome to use and much too smart for it's own good. I would love to be able to turn all the smart stuff off and go back to a version that gave me easily editable regions and simple speed and key change controls. That's all I need. I would use this app likely 100x more and give it 5 stars if it would go back to being simple and efficient. The current form on all devices is none of these things.

Sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with Capo's increasing "smarts".

A few things:

* Today's Capo 4 update introduces a way to completely replace the detected beats using the "Record Bars" feature in the Structure song view.

* If you want to skip out on the beat snapping, you can always hold the shift key when you drag your regions around.

* Version 4 also introduces an all-new chord detector that *mops the floor* with any previous version that we shipped. Give it another shot, and let us know how it goes!

I’m a retired music educator that now spends his idle time transcribing music. I have struggled to isolate instruments, especially the bass parts. My system would always just produce distortion. Well, then I found a recommendation on Facebook’s NO TREBLE page from a fellow Mac user who swore by CAPO. How could I refuse THAT recommendation?? So I tried it and O.M.G. - I was amazed - BLOWN THE HELL AWAY when I could isolate “so cleanly” the bass line!!!! I don’t honestly know if I’ll ever step outside my house again!!! I’m having a blast “cleaning up” what I previously THOUGHT were spot-on transcriptions. <smh> I cannot believe what I missed and what CAPO has helped me discover.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t buy it for pitch or tempo changes or chord markings or any of the other “marketed” components. I just wanted ISOLATION and, by God, I got it.

I am also happy I not only have it on my iMac (my primary instrument for transcribing), but on my iOS devices. I found that flipping between CAPO and my music processing software was sometimes cumbersome. So having it on my device I can accomplish things a tad faster and with more accuracy listening through my earbuds. (FWIW)

If you are reading this far - stop and go buy the darn product!! It’s freakin’ awesome.
