Introducing BeatJam
- BeatJam follows the beat, rhythm, and melody of a song. You might find yourself tapping to the drums, then tapping to the vocals, or playing along to an orchestra. Think of yourself as a one-person band, tapping out the beat.
- BeatJam is automagically created when an artist uploads a song. It's not perfect, some songs turn out better than others but, all in all, it's a pretty fun experience.
- BeatJam will not replace Guitar (Tap or Strum). A human-tracked Guitar version will still be created, but for users who don't want to wait or don't care as much about playing a specific instrument, BeatJam is playable immediately. Songs that have been tracked for guitar will be made available once they are published by our amazing Tracker Community.
- BeatJam makes songs available immediately- Users and artists were unhappy when a song was unavailable for a significant period of time. BeatJam encourages artists to upload more of their music because it will be available immediately on the site.
- BeatJam helps trackers choose songs- Our tracker community also wanted a good way to determine what songs they should track. BeatJam allows JamLegend users to try out a song and gives our Trackers a easy way to see the popular songs to track next. Since it's a time-consuming process, trackers want to release songs that they think will be fun for them and fun for the rest of the community.
- BeatJam makes more songs available- We think users would prefer 400 songs in Beatjam and 180 songs in Guitar, rather than just 180 songs in Guitar. Since these songs will be tracked eventually, it gives users new songs without having to wait on a Tracker.
