Ask the Founders: Q&A with Ryan Miyakawa
This month, we had our first-ever Q&A session, where Ryan answered questions submitted by the community. We're constantly blown away by the passion and enthusiasm of our community, and the response to this Q&A session was no exception. If we didn't get to your questions this time, look out for future Q&A videos!
0:00 Introduction
0:24 At what point in your musical career or theory studies did you realize you could make it "click" with this product? Thanks for all your hard work.
5:40 Any plans on porting Hookpad to mobile (IoS/Android)? It's been greatly helpful to sketch random ideas going through my head, I think it'd be really cool to be able to do so on the go.
6:58 I understand sus2 and sus4. But I would like to know which one I should use and when?
10:12 What is the difference between a sus and an add? I know that add has the third and not the sus, but when would I use one versus another?
12:08 I see that the company is coming up with new products like Chord Crush. But the Hookpad product doesn't seem to have had “a major update” in terms of new features, rhythms, and sounds. When can we expect a new update?
15:34 When are you going to start banning the trolls on your site purposely changing the keys of songs to be completely incorrect?
17:37 If you could give one songwriting tip, what would it be?
23:51 What are Hooktheory's plans for better customer support?
25:25 Do you have any plans to introduce AI? Any pie in the sky things you think AI could enable music-wise?
28:54 A few times I’ve run into a bug where I can’t move a note or have to unselect and select something again or recreate the bar. It has been easy to work around the issue but is there a way to report bugs?
30:43 How about some sound add-on packs and better control over the output score/lead sheet?
