Moises: The Musician's App Ratings and Reviews

Really enjoying Moises

I play electric bass guitar and I’ve found Moises very helpful for learning songs by isolating the bass track so I can make out each individual note. I also use the function that allows me to slow down the song to play along with, until I can play it at tempo. I download into the Moises app the purchased songs (from Apple Music) that I’m working on - it’s always been a smooth process and never had a problem yet over the six months I’ve been using the app. I often use it in conjunction with my Fender Micro Mustang headphone amp, which has Bluetooth and can connect with the phone or computer. I also have begun using the loop function to work on specific parts of songs, which I often do on the desktop version of the app (easier to navigate with a bigger screen). Finally, I’ve started using the app to help me organize into playlists the recordings I’ve made (using the voice memo app and uploading into Moises) during my bass lessons (recordings of my teacher for etudes I’m working on) or recordings of original music I’ve made with my band, so that I can play along with the recordings. I really like Moises, it’s a great practice tool for me and works well.

Excellent all for learning and practice

First ever review of an app. Super impressed with it. Pros: The most valuable thing for more about this app is the ability to separate parts to hear more clearly. It has several flexible options to superstate the tracks you want to hear or just create whatever custom mix I want to download which is dope. The app can discover the key and BPM with more than fair consistency. Plus you can change the key of the song along with tempo adjustments. With the added ability to cycle/loop a section that you may need to practice is definitely useful. I have to say it does a wonderful job separating drums, vocals and bass guitar.
Cons: I’ve found that sometimes the key signature/center is not always correct especially with modal jazz. I get that can even be hard for a human being so it’s not a deal breaker. The track separation can be better because it may mistake certain lower pitches for a bass guitar or it may clump horns and aux keys and sometimes guitar parts as a nondescript “other” track. It tends to mix up chords sometimes giving a false root although the note it gives maybe be part of the chord it may confuse things at times. Because of all this its only earned a 4 stars rating from me. However, Id easily rate this app 5 stars if some of these nit-picky things were addressed.

Better than then anything else I could find so far

This app has been great. I’m a beginner so I’m mostly just flailing on my drums to songs I know and it’s perfect so far. Only reason for not having 5 stars is it crashes unbelievably often and there’s just simple quality-of-life improvements that would make this so much better. I have almost 20,000 songs to sort through and it would make a tremendous difference if I could sort through my library bands, it would also minimize load times. Another huge addition would be the ability to que songs from the list and stay on the same page instead of being forced to go to the App Library every time you download a song. For the crashing situation, I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max, nothing else running in the background, full power cycle and ran with and without wi-fi.

Edit-changed my review to a 5-star. For the first time in my life this app changed in the exact manner that I was hoping for! Cheers to the developers for listening to consumers!

Awful, Frustrating App

This app is a huge fail. I have a large Apple Music/iTunes library and of the thousands of songs, only three show up as available to transfer to Moises. I've given this app over 24 hours to sync up, and even though my iOS version and this app's latest version are up-to-date, it still doesn't work. The ironic thing is that I have to wait another 24 hours until the payment is processed before I can even request a refund. I wish iTunes would eliminate junk like this from the store so that people don't have to waste their time. Lastly, I went to the homepage of the developer's website and that was requiring me to sign in with one of my email identities to even put in a troubleshooting ticket. If a company cannot make a stable app, why would I trust it with my login credentials?
Update, the developer contacted me. To be clear, I am only trying to use Moises with songs I have purchased from iTunes. I am not trying to use Moises with Apple Music streaming or the subscription service. Moises is still not recognizing songs I have purchased. I appreciate that they reached out and genuinely want to try to solve these kinds of problems. But again I am spending a lot of time trying to make something work so this is not a fit.

Hello! Thank you for contacting us. The iTunes App can be a little tricky sometimes, and depending on how iTunes stores the files, it may take some more time to gather it all. Please make sure you have purchased the songs from iTunes and are not using Apple Music. Moises cannot process songs from streaming services. For a more in-depth look into this, I encourage you to get in touch with our support team at https://help.moises.ai - they will assist in troubleshooting the syncing and make sure you're taken care of regarding the payment and refund process. Your satisfaction and data security are our top priorities.

Haven’t Experienced Anything Like It!

I’ve been using this app before famous YouTubing drummers did reviews on it. I have not experienced anything as incredible as this app. It’s my daily go-to music app for removing different instruments out of the mix. Although the vocal/instrumental may not be perfect for some songs, it really gets the job done and that’s 5 stars in my book. Very easy to use, although I had some issues regarding signing into the app because I had a songs processed with a free account and songs processed with an upgraded account, but I believe there has been an update because I haven’t experienced any issues regarding this problem lately. Another thing with this app is that you have to have data or WiFi connection. The app offers a metronome, count-in, tempo changing, pitch changing, and a really cool feature that includes chord detection of the part of the song that you’re on. I had to upgrade my account because the app was just that good. I hope that you enjoy the app as much as I do!

What can’t it use songs downloaded to my iPhone? It just a money maker for apple

This app won’t seemly work with songs not purchased directly from Apple and NOT other vendors mp3 downloaded to your iPhone from iTunes. Have a large collection that u want to use with this app download it to your iPhone? but it appears you can’t use them? It tries to route me to songs I have to pay upwards of $1.29 directly from Apple. a little kid might pay for this, but a grown-up is not gonna pay twice for songs They already have just to use this app. Apple always tries to act like they are the only MP3 vendor. There are many places to buy music online and Apple is only one of them, and it really irritates me that Apple created environment where people act as if you have to use Apple’s iTunes to buy an MP3. There are many others like bandcamp, which has better material than Apple. The developer of this app makes mega bucks for having it sort of pay to play system with Apple. Please make this work with music on your phone that You already have downloaded to your iPhone instead of just your upsells of apple stuff. It will make you seem a lot better in terms of your character

Amazing and good quality

I think that Moises is a really good app and it has no fees and even if you have to pay I’m telling you guys it is worth it please download this app. It is amazing I love putting songs there to take away the sound so I can think of myself and feel like I am that celebrity. Please guys get this app me and my friend love using it I just convinced her to buy it she doesn’t care how much it cost she will buy it so if you’re seeing this review, don’t even look at the other reviews and buy this. Don’t be an idiot and waste your time looking at the other ones if they’re good or not just look at this one and say you know what mom, dad brother sister I’m gonna get this app because this comment from this girl named hadassah and Sapir said that this is a wonderful app so if you trying be a celebrity and you love beat, but you don’t want to do you make songs with your own beat you can use their beach. I am telling you please buy this. This is an amazing amazing No joke. I’m not lying about that.!!

This app is amazing!!!

Sometimes, when looking at a painting, you can isolate the individual elements. You can see each subject, the background, each individual brushstroke. But you could never really do that with music— it’s just one wave of frequencies that hit your ears. Until now. Moises harnesses the power of AI to separate the individual instruments, each part of music, into their own separate tracks. It’s truly amazing technology, that I highly recommend it to anyone who likes music. Indeed, it’s helping me learn more about how music works than any music theory class I’ve taken so far. My only issue is you have to get a subscription to fully use the service (I am so tired of passing on really cool apps because I have to pay a monthly subscription) but this time I made an exception. If they offered a lifetime cost for it that was reasonably priced, I would jump for that so fast, though I do understand they’re running a cloud service and do have maintenance costs.

Wish I bought this a long time ago

This is amazing! I am a music producer, mostly use Ableton Live on my laptop. I’ve been producing for 9 years now. I use MixedinKey and RX7, some much more expensive programs. To my ears, using AirPod Pros, and I test out many different audio outputs, this software was able to cleanly separate different sections of audio. I only did 2 songs so far but am blown away at how powerful this app is. The first song I tested was an indie singer/songwriter type of melodic song that has a drum beat and acoustic guitar and singer “Anytime I Go” by Aaron Espe. I was able to use this to send a fairly clean acapella to my Dropbox to edit on my computer later (get it even cleaner with some audio processing and gates). The second song I chose was a trap beat called Uppers by Mr. Carmack & Stooki Sound. I chose it because it has more clean bass than most songs I know. The app was able to completely separate the synths and fx from the drums and 808s.

BEST for making karaoke tracks!!

I discovered this app about a year ago and ever since then, I’ve made hundreds of my own karaoke songs. It does such a great job of not only isolating instruments, but also the ability to isolate background vocals. It’s great at removing echo, reverb, and other effects too.

I’ve worked with vocal removal programs for at least 20 years now. A lot of them do a great job at removing and separating music and lead vocals but often also remove the background vocals. With this program, you have the option to create a separate stem for them. Yes you have to pay for a premium subscription. I pay about four dollars a month but it’s worth it since I’m always finding new songs I want to make karaoke tracks of. And it works with any source. I’ve made Tracks from digitally transferred LPs and cassettes. As long as you have a good quality source file you’ll get Good quality results.
