Wow! Thank you to everyone who supported SoundGate Guitar! Finishing at #2 exceeded our expectations.
For Vahe and me the best part of the day wasn't the ranking - it was the conversations in the comments. We loved seeing how many of you resonated with the need for a real-time practice companion rather than just another video library.
We took notes on every single comment. Here is the top feedback we received and what it means for our roadmap:
New Instruments: A ton of you asked for Bass and Ukulele support so you can jam together. We are focused on perfecting the 6-string engine right now, but Bass is next in line!
Advanced Technique Detection: We had great questions about expression detection. We are actively training our models to catch bends, slides, vibrato, and palm muting.
Distortion & Amp Effects: Right now our engine is optimized for clean tones. Based on your feedback, we are prioritizing updates to handle distorted tones and heavy effects just as accurately.
Android Support: We heard you! Right now we are fully native on Apple (SwiftUI), but we know we need to bring SoundGate to the Android ecosystem.
