![]() ![]() The iPad would be a great replacement for sheets of paper with lyrics scribbled on them for vocalists to easily read and scroll through as they recorded.This will help improve playing exactly in tune and improve your mixing and mastering music skills. Quiztones will help you really hone in on your listening skills.This would be ideal for the musician recording themselves and would save them the trouble from having to get up and down from their instrument to start or stop a recording. There are transport control apps that provide a remote control for your Digital Audio Work Station such as ProTransport.A great drum machine app to check out is EasyBeats. There are countless synths, drum machines, control surfaces like a piano, and samples that can be added to your songs through a variety of apps.An easy way to record guitar riffs or melodies is through the voice memo that comes with the Iphone and Ipad or download the app iRecorder Pro which allows you to easily record and send recordings via e-mail.This list will help you discover some apps for your Iphone and Ipad to help improve your music in the palm of your hand before it is sent in for music mastering. Usually phones are frowned upon in a studio setting, but there are actually a lot of useful purposes for your phone during the process of recording and producing music. As more come on the market, I think we'll see Apps that test our ability to hear intervals, chord progressions, keys and more.Nowadays, people are constantly on their phone texting, talking, surfing the web, playing games, and doing countless other activities throughout the day. InTune and Quiztones are both very useful and effective for developing musicianship. There is still a lot of potential for ear training Apps for iOS. Even though we have many spectrum analyzers available, everyone can benefit from developing the ear more. ![]() The Pro Version has an additional section called 'Gain' that tests your ability to identify changes in gain from source material. There is a lot to practice here and the App is also easy to use and well designed. There are three choices of difficulty for the challenge, with the hardest test being able to hear a -8 dB to -10 dB cut in the mix from the source material of a frequency rather than a boost. The best part about the app is an 'EQ' section where you can play music from your iTunes library, or an assortment of music and instrument samples they provide and try to hear which frequency is boosted by the App in the mix. The intended result is to fine-tune our ability to hear an unwanted frequency spike in our mix or sound and use the EQ to correct it properly. The App intends to train mix and mastering engineers (and any producer for that matter) to decipher different frequencies from 100 Hz all the way up to 8 kHz by playing a tone and then offering a multiple choice of which tone is played. Quiztones uses test tones labeled in Hertz. There's another great App to help with ear training for music engineers and producers in mind called Quiztones. This is a very fun and useful App for all music students. The tone sounds a bit like a hearing test, but has enough overtones in it to help you figure out the direction of the pitch. The starting pitches are the same every time and I think this intonation game could benefit from providing half steps at different frequency ranges or using actually instrument samples to target specific musicians. This App is most useful to musicians who play in orchestras, concert bands, or any dynamic acoustic ensemble. I've been trying it with my students too to see what scores they get. The best score I got was 2% of a half step. You get three mistakes before having to start again. The more you get correct, the closer the two pitches become. When you guess correctly, the next two pitches given are a percentage of a half-step. Two pitches are given that start a half-step apart and listener chooses which pitch is higher or lower. The ' InTune' iPhone app developed by Wittenburg University seeks to help musicians cultivate their fine intonation skills with a simple exercise. ![]()
