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.

I find it very surprising that Yousician can afford not to actively foster the community of users and customers they have. I don't really see any comments from the Yousician staff to any of these ideas posted by users (it's free product development feedback!), nor do I see Yousician being active on the discussion forums. I understand that some decisions like removing the user generated content may not have been popular, but typically I would at least expect some basic level of decency with a proper thank you for the feedback even if there are no plans to react as such. Especially for a start up company I find this level of arrogance disturbing. The easy solution would be to dedicate at least a little bit of time from someone in the team to browse through this idea site and the discussion forums in a similar way as you tend to respond to direct twitter comments.

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,
-Jose

I would like to have an option to sort the entire song catalog by numbers of times I have played each song -- both ascending and descending. Perhaps with the existing filtering capabilities (by level range, genre and so on).

The ultimate outcome is to find new songs which I have never played. Or played only a few times. This is to make sure I'm not missing a jewel of a song just because I don't know it exists. Also it would show me my true favourites.

Even better if, there was some timestamp on when played the last time, to uncover forgotten gems.

I imagine that this kind of an additional view would not be too complex of a job to implement.

Yousician Users should be required to set their accounts to the type of music they like upon registration and / or by changing their Account settings. Like so, the songs featured during mission and workout sessions would be suitable to the user’s taste in music. Especially when singing. In addition, this option should suitably and solely implement and recommend a collection of songs in the home page / Yousician Collections based on the user’s preferred type of music which is specified in their account settings.

E.g. if I change my settings to “Christian Music”, in that case Yousician should solely recommend me different genres of Christian Music in Yousician Collections as well as exclusively featuring Christian songs in my missions and workouts.

Choosing a minimum of 1 type of music to 3 types the most (in account settings) should be enabled.
