Ratings and Reviews
Great app over the years
Came across this app way back in 2010. It helped me a lot in my early years of music production when I didn’t have a laptop or DAW available.
Now re-downloading it in 2022 because life has changed a little bit and I’m always on the go/not always with my laptop. So looking forward to getting inspired again & producing on the go!
Best mobile music app
I’m no professional with music producing and I am teaching myself a lot of stuff, but I have had music studio since the first one came out and it was very simple to use while still having a lot of necessary features with things like the tuneable effects and the range of instruments etc. It was fun just putting down any ideas quickly from my head and working on them over a long time to make some real detailed tunes. It gave me a little jump start when I started using Propellerhead Reason recently and I have had a nice time learning from both of them. One thing I would love is some 808 drum kits and bass kits, and I’d really be able to make songs more accurate to what comes in my head. Anyway been my favourite and one of the only apps I use on this iPhone, good stuff. 👍🏼
Superb
I use this as a live performance instrument in a concert band and it performs as all the tuned percussion (xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, bells, etc.) Unlike all the other keyboard apps I've used, there is no latency so it's perfect for live performance and the samples are extremely realistic. I find the audience looking around to see where all the instruments are!
Just one thing that’s a little annoying. I sometimes use an external gizmo to send the MIDI to drive the app, and it doesn’t respond to Program Change messages so I can’t use MIDI to select the instrument. Not a problem for many people I realise, but a pain for me!
Still brilliant though.
