This is for anyone who might be interested in this type software. Hopefully this helps someone down the road.

- Me getting familiar with Riffstation & Audacity. The Jam Track is "Baby, Scratch My Back" Here's the original guitar solo unedited.

- Same Solo with everyother guitar phrase quieted/muted.

- Finally I filled in the quieted/muted guitar phrases with my harp. It's my first try with the software, but I'm happy with it for creating personalized jam tracks. :-)

Great Example

I've played around withsome of the other features that are similiar to other apps. It works well. I hadn't thought of using hte 'isolation' feature this way but that is very cool. I've tried to isolate a solo from the band with imited and varied success. I really appreciate you putting us onto this andnshowing hownit might be used.

Looking better

The more I use this, the more potential I see in isolating the harp (or lead instrument) to have it on its own or to take it out of the play and essentiall have a backing track to play to.

Skool of da Bluz - any later thoughts as you played with this app??
