Hey David, I am back with it. I have angled the harmonica down a little and the cleavage tongue is not so bad. I believe the U Block is almost gone. 

I need a software that will have me loop and slow down AND PLAY BACK WHAT I HAVE PLAYED.

I have weaned myself off of the tabs for now. I want to train my ears to what I hear and what I am  playing.

 

I have Best Practice which slows it down with loops etc. but I need the recording capability and maybe even a way that I can hear the harmonica riff and have it pause for me to play it and then record it.

 

Do you know of any?

 

Will

Hey Will. I am not aware of a program that does this. I use my iPhone's voice memo all the time. I also use a Tascam DR-40 recorder, that works well too.

Tascam LR 10 For Listening And Then Playing No Tabs

David, did you find Tascam LR 10 useful for what I need? I want to start playing by ear. Listening with a slowed track and then having a recording of my playing to switch back and forth.

I am unsure If I could adapt the unit to my Android phone where I have the files.

 

Will

Sure, any recorder will do the job. I would personally just use an ap on your Android.
