Published November 24, 2011 |
Ever wish you could read and interpret sheet music? This tends to be a dilemma for the majority of us who didn’t grow up taking lessons or join the high school band when we should have. I know this to be true because I am one of these people. I have a good insight on musical theory and I produce music full time for a living (Pop, Hip Hop, and RnB), but put me in front of sheet music and I’m about as useful as a sprinter with two left feet running circles around his elbow just to scratch is backside.

bleep!Box is a music production suite for your iPad. It’s comes housed with a sequencer, a synthesizer, and a drum machine. It’s noted for its quality sounds, which is rare in the world of iOS. I would say that the sounds are more tailored to the modern electronic producer than say a Hip Hop producer, but Hip-Hop-heads looking to create some quirky tunes will enjoy this app.
