Thanks to an ever-expanding number of innovative developers, a wide variety of music-oriented mobile apps can also help you create amazing sounds - worthy of integration into performance, production, or recording - with the tap of a finger.īy choosing the right app, you can summon orchestral strings, overdriven guitars, glitched-out synth textures, and hip-shaking drum loops. Smart phones and tablets can be good for a lot more than texting and Candy Crush-ing, managing your bank accounts, and navigating traffic routes.
You can transform your mobile device into a Swiss army knife of virtual synths and virtual musical instruments with these recommendations from Dream Theater keyboardist and musical entrepreneur, Jordan Rudess.
