Xewton Music Studio 2 for iPad
Published February 16, 2012 |
Music Studio 2 is a complete production suite for your iPad. One of things I like most about this app is its sound selection. The sounds are extremely versatile and Hip Hop friendly, which isn’t always a common occurrence in the iOS music making world.
Music Studio 2 expands what was already an extremely powerful production environment. Things like microphone recording, audio tracks, 127-track sequencer, and audio copy/paste functions only sweeten this deal. The app comes with 100 drum loops, 65 built-in instruments and the ability to purchase additional instruments in the app store.
Detailed editing allows you to tweak anything from individual tracks to individual MIDI notes. Transfer your files to your computer via iTunes.
Music Studio 2 offers support for CoreMIDI (in and out), Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer, Akai SynthStation 25, iRig, iRig Mic, iRig MIDI, Ampkit Link, Apogee Jam, Blue Mikey, Alesis IO Dock and iConnectMIDI.
This is a quality app for a serious music maker. It has all of the components of a Major DAW and is arguably one of the most well-rounded we’ve seen. Be sure to check out Music Studio 2!
