Award-Winning Mac & iOS Jammit Music Platform Launches on
Windows PCs
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jammit, Inc.,
creators of the award-wining Jammit(R) music technology platform, today
launched the Windows(R) version of its free Jammit app. This brings the
groundbreaking Mac OS and iOS application directly to even more
musicians, vocalists, and fans wanting to learn, jam and record their
favorite songs. Jammit delivers a stunning user experience, providing
individual audio tracks within original multi-track recordings for
musicians to isolate a specified instrument -- guitar, keyboards,
drums, vocals-- from the rest of the mix.
"The Jammit 'time machine' drops a musician or fan into their favorite
band's recording session to practice, perform and experience the magic
that has formed the history of popular music from the mid-1960's to
present," said Scott Humphrey, Jammit founder and CEO. "With more than
80% of our fan base using PCs, it was a natural evolution for us to
bring one of the most significant developments in music education
technology directly to Windows users."
Award-Winning Jammit
Released in beta in 2011 for iPad, iPhone, iPhone Touch & Mac, Jammit
is revolutionizing music education by giving musicians a new way to
access their favorite songs. As the first music software to isolate
individual audio tracks within original multi-track master recordings,
Jammit creates a virtual recording studio for musicians and fans.
Jammit users practice and perform as they learn, jam and record along
with their favorite songs. Each guitar, bass, drums, keyboard or vocal
track within the dense mix of a song can be isolated for closer
scrutiny, looped for extended practice or slowed down to a comfortable
pace for beginning players, all without affecting the pitch. Jammit
provides the world's most accurate transcriptions in standard notation
or tablature.
"Musicians and fans can effectively 'join the band,' added Humphrey.
"Jammit tracks provide every nuance of a selected performance for an
exclusive experience that can redefine how musicians and singers learn
and practice with their favorite artists."
Since the January launch at NAMM, hundreds of artists and tracks have
been added to Jammit with more being added every day in a range of
genres. The list includes Rush, Mastodon, Slayer, Soundgarden, Maroon
5, The Jackson 5, Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Billy Joel, The Foo
Fighters, Nirvana, Sublime, The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful
Dead, Yes, Christina Perri, Demi Lovato, and countless others. The
legendary metal act Lamb of God also partnered with Jammit to release
their new album, Resolution on the multi-track Jammit platform. In
mid-May, Jammit released the classic Pantera "Vulgar Display of Power"
to coincide with the album's 20th anniversary.
