Much Worse Than Version 2
I used Ver. 2 for a long time until it broke itself when OS X updated. Now Ver. 3 imposes what it thinks are bars/measures instead of indicating real time but it gets the bars completely wrong. (If it can’t find the beat in a slow blues with a heavy back beat then how will it ever find anything??) And there is no real way to fix the measures, so you’re left with fake/incorrect bar numbers that run at the wrong tempo over the entire song. Worse, selections for looping or regions “snap” to those incorrect bars. Also, the new chord detection is wildly inaccurate. Then there’s the spectrograph which was useful in Ver. 2 but now the display is washed out and vague. Also, you can no longer just drop a marker to name the start of sections and instead you must have “regions” that run for some duration - I just want to mark the start of verses, solos, etc! Everything has taken a huge step backward with no indication that the developer gets it. I can’t even export the TABs that I would spend hours inputting? (Never could do that.) On the plus side, the interface is clean and inviting. But it has to be useable and it no longer is. I’ve gone with AnyTune which does not have the useless chord or spectrograph features but is worlds more robust for playback, slowdown, looping, marking, etc. Wish I had not bought Capo 3 first.
