Maureen Denard posted an article that she thought my readers would be interested in and I agree. You can view the entire piece here.
Apple and the app developers for the
iPhone App Store are bringing
instruments and equipment that would normally cost you hundreds of
dollars right to your mobile device, allowing you to use them anywhere
and at any time. The technology used to create these apps means your
virtual music experience is now as close to the real thing as you will
ever get, whether you’re a musician or just a lover of the art created
by others. Music junkies rejoice! These 10 apps bring you closer to the
tunes you love.
- sir Sampleton
– A very simple, yet surprisingly versatile app, sir Sampleton takes
its cue from the popular keyboard samplers of the ‘80’s. You can use the
app to sample your voice, musical instruments and any other sounds you
can think of. The app comes with a number of accompanying beats, as well
as the ability to download additional content for free after paying the
$3.99 download price.
- ooTunes Radio
– If you’re tired of clicking through the same five stations on the
radio, then perhaps it’s time to break the cycle. With 32,000 global
streaming radio stations featuring sports, talk and every genre of music
you could ever want, ooTunes Radio is the solution you’ve been looking
for. For $4.99 you can access a plethora of stations organized by genre
and country of origin.
- SoundHound
– When the frustration of not knowing or being able to remember the
name of a song is getting you down, turn to SoundHound. This powerful
app can find a song just from the user humming the tune into the iPhone
recorder. The $6.99 version comes with a wiki-type database containing
artist information, but there’s also a free lite version available with
fewer features.
- Concert Vault
– Live music lovers will certainly get a lot out of this app. Concert
Vault is free of charge and has over 10 hours of live music performances
from throughout the ages. If you feel that you’re not getting your fill
from the app, you can upgrade to a $48 membership, which will give you
access to unlimited live recordings and earn you the opportunity to grab
merchandise at discounted prices.
- Bandsintown Concerts
– Never miss your favorite performer or band again by downloading this
free app to your iPhone. Bandsintown Concerts tracks all of your
favorite artists, bringing you up to the minute news on upcoming
concerts and events. You can sync the app with your iTunes, LastFM,
Spotify and Pandora, and gain access to hundreds of online ticket
vendors, too.
- Pandora Radio
– This intelligent app knows the music that you want to listen to.
Pandora Radio is a free predictive music app, which creates playlists
for you based on the music that you listen to. You can also create your
own radio stations, so you can have different playlists depending on
your mood. If you prefer to listen to ad-free music, then you can
purchase Pandora One from the iTunes store for $3.99.
- Top 100 Music
– To find the music that has made the top 100 list in over 20 countries
look to Top 100 Music, which is free from iTunes. Not only does the app
return results for each list, it also allows you to watch live and
related videos. This app is a simple way to quickly gain access to the
type of music you like from all over the world.
- Drum Kit
– If you have ever listened to a song and thought that it needed more
drums, this is the app for you. Drum Kit gives you the ability to play
along with your favorite songs or create your own drum solos. You can
layer different drums to build your beats with an audio engine designed
to eliminate delay and latency. What’s more, this virtual drum kit is
completely free of charge.
- Guitar Suite
– This app is an amazing aid for anyone learning to play guitar, bass,
Ukulele, five string banjos or 4 string lutes. With over 25,000 cords
and 50 scales, Guitar Suite is a comprehensive database of instruction
for every learner. The app also includes a tuner, metronome and a
complete range of practice materials.
- Tap DJ
– For only $2.99, Tap DJ delivers a virtual sound mixer and decks to
your iPhone. You can mix your favorite songs or draw from a sample from
the app library. Features include an Integrated 9 Pad Sampler, 3
Loopable Cue Points per Deck and Voice Recording, among other features.
Tap DJ is suitable for both beginner and professional DJs, allowing you
to create great sounding mixes on the go.
No matter what your style is, there’s an app out there designed to
bring the music you love straight to your iPhone. After all, what else
would you expect from the company behind iTunes?
