Possibility to control guitar/bass/piano/uke volumes on backing tracks
Let's say I play a guitar song for the first time, having a guitar perfectly recorded playing that part in the mix is nice to have an idea of how I'm supposed to sound. but once I learned it, it would be great if I could control that guitar track volume with a slider, even mute it, so I can hear all the details of my playing in the mix.
These backing tracks with the guitar playing the same notes tend to mask mistakes that would be heard otherwise.
this feature could be implemented automatically to the instrument one is learning.

Anonymous, you didn’t get it. I want to hear my guitar playing AND the track from Yousician WITHOUT the guitar already recorded on it. On my headphones, or my speaker, it doesn’t matter.

Is there any movement on this request? I just bout an iRig interface and I can hardly hear my bass as I play. When I practice, I want to stand out in the mix, so that I can actually hear what I'm doing.

It would be good to have the ability to turn off other tracks. For example I'm learning bass guitar so really want to hear the bass drum to help me keep time. The vocals and the guitar are often a lot clearer than the drums. Turning them off would help to make the drums clearer for rhythm musicians.
This feature would defintely help with locking in with the drums to improve timing.

if all instruments has been recorded separatly, it would be cool, if I could mute each instrument which I want. I could play on my gitar with drums or bass if I wonted to.

Hi,
It has been bothering me for some quite time that there is already a guitar in the songs I play, when I suppose to be the one playing that instrument. It creates a duplicate that causes me to lower the volume of yousician just to hear my playing and better judge when I am succesful or not. It would be great to have a “mute instrument” feature for those songs that already have that instrument integrated on the track.
I think that duplicate helps at beginning levels (because the yousician players sound pretty good), but when you want to get better and judge your sound, is an impidement.
Please, Yousician is a great tool, make it better adding this feature, it would make people that has been using the app for some time love it even more.thanks so much,

It would be great to customise tracks to toggle features such as drums, vocals etc. So I could use the app to play the song with others band members. For example I want play the guitar with guidance from Yousician and a drummer plays the drums rather than it on the backing track, but still have Yousician play the vocals and other instruments.
But make customisable so you can decide what you want to turn off and on.
Support for "muti-player" would be good, so multiple band members could run the app, but the song time-line is synced so everyone is playing in time. -

This should be a no brainer.

I think that if this was added to Yousician, you could hear and appreciate what did you played as well as comparing the harder and easier parte and enjoy your work.

I see there is an option to ‘play for me’ in practice mode that turns on or off the play-back of the instrument one is trying to learn... I like this feature, but I think it would be great if the rest of the backing track’s volume could be turned up or down relative to the notes one should be focused on playing...

I have the same problem with my bass. I've tried different configurations and the backing track keeps burying my playback. The lack of audio feedback makes it harder to play the tracks.

It's a good idea

Please make it so I can take off the training wheels. I don’t want to hear the bass line when I am trying to learn to actually play the bass track. Thank you.

Agree this is a highly desirable feature. If I had a music teacher, they wouldn't play the song with me... I want to have the option to enable /disable the overdub of my instrument (the guitar) : I want to just hear my playing!

Someone on the facebook page suggested having two versions available that are labeled differently in the song library. So you could choose.

A solution could be an option in the practice mode or mixer to shift between a backing track with or without guitar that you are playing. I can't vote on this because I don't have more votes left. But I like the idea.

Me too. It's distracting when your trying to play over another instrument and can't hear your own playing properly. That's why one of my favorite genres is classical because often your accompanying another completely different instrument and your own fits in and compliments the mix when recording.
If you record your own playing, there is something very satisfying when it all comes together and sounds like it all belongs together. When you overdub another instrument it just sounds messy and pretentious as well as being difficult to analyse your playing and spot your mistakes. Especially if you are trying to improve your phrasing and another instrument is playing the same part.
