Lets start with the bad news, Xewton Music Studio is a $20 iphone application. That is a lot of money on a platform that offers an almost infinite amount of free and under $2 apps. That being said this thing is a beast and in a world that seems to be in a drunken race [...]

Dub Siren is one of the most innovative music apps I’ve seen to make it into the App Store in a long time. And that’s coming from someone who isn’t even capable of using the app to its fullest!
With some 55,750 apps in stock, sifting through the inventory to find the gems is getting harder [...]

Melodica presents a 16 by 10 surface where the length represents the 4 bars of a 4/4 beat and the height is a set of 10 notes that all harmonize well together. Anyone familiar with arppegiators or sequencers will find themselves at home using the software’s interface.

So as I sit here, preparing to review Leaf Trombone: World Stage by smule [...]

Recently released by Amidio, the same developer who delivered the popular synth app Noise.io Pro, Star Guitar is a full-function guitar app that lets you play, record, and export files of the music you create. Since I do not know how to play the guitar (not even one chord), it would be unfair for me to [...]
