iOS is a fantastic OS, and it powers some amazing devices,eg the iPhone 4s, the upcoming iPhone 5 and the new iPad. But did you know iOS has some wonderful music production apps, allowing you to compose your own beats wherever you go. A few of these apps actually have such stellar sound quality you can even use them in professional albums. Gorillaz did it, so if it's adequate for them, it's adequate for us.
1. Firstly, Garage Band for the iPad takes the crown as the best way to record coarse examples of any external istruments wherever you go. When it is time to record and produce professionally, we prefer a nice iMac with a gigantic display and some pro audio production software like Logic, but Garage Band is an excellent solution for jotting ideas down before you lose them. With some external equipment that permits you to hook up your instrument of choice to your iPad, it is an wonderful solution for mobile musicians that like to travel light.
2. Up next, the Funk Box holds it down for the beat heads. It's a easy app that mimics some of the more preferred drum machines. The sound quality is exceptional for hip-hop and electronic beats, and it's pretty easy to use. A good producer could turn these sounds into the backbone of a popular song, but the built-in recording feature also lets you use it as a sketchpad when you're out of the stuido (or even in the studio).
3. The 3rd item on our list is called Polychord, which is a synthesizer app that only plays chords. Enter your key of choice and customize the settings to provide custom, lovely sounds that feel comfortable in a variety of genres. The sound is rather unique, but it is not excellent for every situation. But when it's helpful, it's truly useful (and plenty of fun).
4. The Gorillaz used the Korg iElectribe app in one of their most recent albums. We find it more helpful as a beatbox, but it is also a simple synthesizer too. We find it extremely handy for writing down engaging beats, and the sound quality is sufficiently good to transfer your favorite parts into a studio-produced song.
5. Finally, the Animoog app by Moog is another great synthesizer. This one mimics a variety of moog synthesizers. There's enough virtual knobs, buttons and settings that you can make each sound your own, and we would not be stunned to hear this app in well-produced hip hop and dance albums.
