∞ Capo guitar app update fixes waveform issues

Written by

I wrote about how I use Capo to help me learn to play songs, back in October . The developer on Monday released an update with a really cool new feature, as well as some fixes for the app.

Some of the best features are the simple ones — that’s where this new feature fits. In Capo, you can drop a marker at a specific place in the song, allowing you to easily go back and start playing the song. I’m sure you’ve all done that before — it’s a pain.

With Capo 1.1.4, the marker now draws a line down through the waveform, so now you can see exactly where the marker intersects the music. A handy new addition.

There were a few bug fixes in this version too, including a fix for an issue in the effects panel which caused unnecessary redrawing (and increased CPU usage) while idle; the waveform no longer jitters while zooming the view; and closing a document window now forces in-progress waveform processing to stop immediately.

Capo 1.1.4 can be downloaded from the company’s Web site. For new users it costs $49.

    It's a nice-looking app, but there's no way I could justify spending that amount of money on it. That's as much as the whole iLife suite used to cost, and this doesn't have the amount of functionality even one of those apps have. Even now it's over half the price of iLife. I think if they lowered it to $19 or so it would be much better.
