I love this Program!! It has revolutionized how I learn songs

It’s a cool Software. Some features you can find in other apps, even for free, but it’s not bad to have them all in one place…. What I really like so far is the way the looping of sections works, this is great for practicing over tracks, which I do a lot, it really helps you learn your song sections fast and practice specific bits for improvisation. The Intervals app is also very useful, although I had a bit of trouble at the beginning to get the audio sound, but it works well. Still testing…

Mingus is a great piece of software with very useful features that set it apart from many other programs. I asked the support team if the window size and position of the document viewer window on the screen could be saved automatically, and it took less than two days for the development team to integrate this feature into the program. Thank you so much!
