iPad Music Production Apps
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Music production on the iPad? Can music be recorded and produced on the Apple iPad? The answer is yes.

There are several really great DAW apps for iOS now. I originally published this in 2010 when there were very few DAWs to choose from and they weren’t very powerful. Well 8 years later and we have some killer apps. Poke around on my site or check out my Youtube for current information! https://www.youtube.com/user/ipadloops

  • iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle). You might know me from my royalty free loop packs and sound design. Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, LP-5, iPRO.DJSAMPLER, Looptastic. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Loopmasters and many more. Subscribe to our RSS feed below to get updated when new apps are posted.
