What's the story behind your product?

JJazzLab's answer:

As a jazz/funk pianist I have tried most of the auto-accompaniment or backing tracks apps (Band In a Box, etc). They are good indeed and I had some fun at first, but I quickly got frustrated: I missed the intensity dynamics which help develop interesting solos. I was aware that a program will never match a real band, but I had a few ideas how to do better. That’s why I decided to start developing JJazzLab.

  • For 50 scrap, I will play music of your choice during a raid
    A lot of the ones that sound like shit are like that because RUST can't really handle playing the percussion tracks from the MIDI. You can make them sound a lot better by using something like Anvil Studio to remove the drum tracks. Source: about 3 years ago
