ORIGINAL: DavRom no, Ricardo, i didn't miss your point at all. whatever your recommendations on being a better flamenco guitarist, I still need to hear it with my guitar and it's way way way (did i say way?) too soft i found this post, presumably from the developer (Maissam) that there are indeed volume problems with Dr Compas: quote:
We should make this more clear, but we highly recommend earphones/speakers because the iPhone speaker is very small. We are trying to develop ways of boosting the volume to the maximum possible without distorting the high quality audio samples, but every metronome on the iPhone is going to have this problem. It is really an intrinsic limitation of the technology. To be heard over the guitar, a speaker needs to be VERY loud; my macbook pro isn't even loud enough to accompany me without external speakers or headphones. They are trying to sell a product. My advice of using a simple click even goes counter to their desired marketing strategy. Dr. Compas is a fun and useful tool for working on your music, but this assumes a basic understanding and master of time keeping FIRST. I hear students chasing the accents with no groove trying to force their playing to the looped percussion, I have to tell them to turn off the potty training metronomes and just work with the basic click for a while. Luckly Dr, compas has the BASIC CLICK as an option, and again I say, don't use it very loud, make it disappear totally and you are on it jack.
