Now all good - app doesn’t crash anymore ! Love the multi track song capability which will be very useful in future. However would love to be able to give each track a name (eg bass, drums, guitar etc) and not have to rely on the name of the associated track file. Also would be useful to be able to mute and/or solo each track at a press of a button when mixing/EQing etc. Great work!!

(Seeking to a position before first timestamp will not clear highlighted lyrics line) fix is still not working
all my songs that have [00.00.00] timecode on the first line still highlight everything on that line as you select the song.
My solution has been to put a [00.00.01]in the timecode this then doasnt highlight the first line untill i hit play.
Autoplay switch works perfectly now in playlist.
Autoplay behaviour when switching to different playlists is also great now it is a lot more user friendly.
Autoplay switch position is still very wrong as it dissapears as you scroll down the playlist.
New EQ is perfect, but a bit harder to get to if needing a quick tweek but its sooo much better i can live with it.
Filter does not seem to work now, i entered Test in to a songs keyword went in to SONG applied a filter to only find Test, it did have Test as an option but it didnt find anything, i also did resync the Song folder and i restarted ST3 but still nothing in the search.
Sort by and Filter buttons are still in a bad position just like Auto play they all dissapear when you are using the lists leaving a filter setting in place is outright dangerous on stage as all your songs are not available but you cant easily see or change the settings as the feature is not permanently in view and yet its a feature constantly needed.
I would prefer to see less of the list then to be continually scroling to the begining of a 10,000 song folder.
I like the Queu selection option switch in settings, it makes ST3 a bit simpler for newbies and an option of a different way of operation.
I dont like that ST3 allways starts in SONG mode when started, i would rather it starts in the screen it was shut down in so everyone is happy.
You just fire it up and bang you are off and running where you last shut down.
Most likely in a playlist.
Suggestion
I would have a couple song files already loaded with synced information as an example, so a new purcheser can quickly experiance the power of ST3.
2 files in a Demonstration playlist
This way they are not confronted with an empty screen scratching their heads to what to do next, once they choose a demo song and have it display the lyrics that virtually can instruct them to how the program operates they will fall in love immediately.

You are not supposed to open a new discussion in this sub. All things related to this beta version should be discussed here in this thread.
Damir all my songs that have [00.00.00] timecode on the first line still highlight everything on that line as you select the song.
Then you can't seek before this position. Negative times are not possible. Remove that line and it will work.
Damir Filter does not seem to work now
I will take a look at this and also the unreadable text in your screenshot.
Damir Sort by and Filter buttons are still in a bad position
This is still on my todo list but this needs more time as I need to work against iOS guidelines to make this possible.
Damir I dont like that ST3 allways starts in SONG mode when started, i would rather it starts in the screen it was shut down in so everyone is happy.
This would be new feature request. I will add it to my todo list.

Not possible, because copyright law forbids this. I even had to remove (my own) song lyrics from the screenshots displayed in the app store because Apple said I violated some copyright rules. No way Apple would allow me to distrubte a song within the app even if it would be my own composition.
Damir New EQ is perfect, but a bit harder to get to if needing a quick tweek but its sooo much better i can live with it.
Would it make sense to place a EQ button beside the waveform view in the big player? This button would open the multitrack view for multitrack files as each track has its own EQ.
DickyDutch However would love to be able to give each track a name (eg bass, drums, guitar etc) and not have to rely on the name of the associated track file
This is something I originally wanted to do but then wasn't sure if it is really wanted. I thought that you could define track names in the settings and these would be applied to all songs. Because the way the routing features work is that instruments should always be added to the same track. I don't want to encourage users to place an instrument into different tracks in each song.
DickyDutch Also would be useful to be able to mute and/or solo each track at a press of a button when mixing/EQing etc.
See my previous comment. I could add a button besides the waveform view to open multitrack settings directly.

peter most definitely as long as it doasnt effect anything else, i have changed my PA old tired jbl eon speakers to latest yamahas and the sound difference is amazing all my tonal mixes are all over the place now as the yamahas are so damn good you can hear everything so learly in the whole venue so having a flexible EQ on every song is going to greatly help to fix some of the songs getting to the eq quickly will help me to bring all my old songs in to order on the run the new ones are being mixed for the yamahas.
Love it.

Damir Bit Off Topic: The latest Yamahas are great. One of my guitar players uses the DBR10 as a monitor and it sound terrific. I myself love RCF speakers. Have a pair of 708 combined with the relatively new 705 sub as PA and 310 as monitors. Absolutely great for about 100 PAX on the dancefloor. Although nothing can beat the L'Acoustics ARC PA system in one of the clubs we play regularly.
peter I agree users should be encouraged to be consistent when using the tracks of a multitrack song. In support of this I would suggest that in the global settings (Audio Routing) a user should be able to give each track their own name if required - e.g rename Track 1 “BASS”. They could then see at a glance what tracks had been used for what when compiling a new song. The other thing was that when in the Configure Multitrack Playback view in my opinion it would be nice to be able to temporarily solo a track if required when editing equalisation of that track.

But how long should the solo last? If you set it on the multitrack view, should it apply to that and the eq views and be reset when you exit that view? I don't know if that's intuitive.
What might work better is to have a on/off switch for solo in the eq view. That would always solo the current track you are eqing. This might be more consistent from a usage perspective.
Yes an on off switch in the da mode would work for me.
Sorry meant EQ mode!
Damir Filter does not seem to work now, i entered Test in to a songs keyword went in to SONG applied a filter to only find Test, it did have Test as an option but it didnt find anything
Please try again, I can't reproduce the problem. I guess you only added the keyword, but did not select it (checkmark needs to be displayed and it should be shown in the keywords cell in song details).
peter yes there is definitely some great sounding gear out there at good prices compared to the good old days
I have Yamaya DXR12 mark 2 s and JBL 18 subs
Most smaller gigs the DXR12 do the job nicely.
My good old jbl eons 15 s died of old age i am still adjusting to the yammies but am liking them more and more each gig.

MULTI TRACK TESTING
I am keen to test the multi track capability of ST3 beta as i have an XAir18 mixer and i use Pro logic daw.
I need to know what file format do i need to save to for ST3 to then load it correctly?
How does ST3 then spit out the audio?
Is it through a usb connection from the ipad to the XAir18, which channels of the XAir will it appear on as default?
Can i not use the XAir mixer and have the 6 tracks mixed down to the stereo bus of the Ipad?
Is there a block diagram of how this new system works so i can choose my method of operation?
Cheers Damir
Damir I keep getting the same when I’m in the beta app but not when I go into the live app
