iPad music apps are great for electronic styles of music but so far realistic drum sounds and other acoustic instruments tend to be few and far between. With the exception of iFretless Bass and some passable

Patterning 1 was groundbreaking in iOS Music Production when it was released in 2015. It was runner up for Apple’s overall App of the Year in 2015. This was no easy feat for a music making App in the ocean

You don’t have to be a Rocket Scientist to be a Music App Developer....but if SpaceCraft is anything to go by it certainly helps. SpaceCraft is a new App developed by Mark Watt (Delta-V Audio) who by day

Not many things in life are free but they do say that the best things are. I have been lucky to be part of a team of volunteers working on an Open Source synth for iPad. My role was as one of many talented

This is a little jam session with a new Free Synth app that is being released Thurs 28th June. AudioKit Synth One is a totally free app with no ads or in app purchases. It has been developed as a labor

A lot of people don't consider the iPad to be a serious music production platform. Admittedly there is no Ableton Live yet, though Ableton are even dipping their toe in iOS waters with their Link technology

I'm not a graphic designer but I do enjoy making my own images for my posts and cover art for my musical output. Saw @soundlegion competition post for the next cover for the Steemit Artists Music compilation

I am lucky to be one of the volunteers working with Open Source software developers AudioKit on a new synth app for iPad that will be coming in June called SynthOne. Unlike alot of "Free" apps

This week I have been listening to alot of music on DSound and each time I compile one of these Steemian musician playlists it gets harder and harder to stick to my self imposed top 5. Well lets dive in

Wow...can't believe I made it to Volume Ten. DSound is such a great platform for Steemit musicians and the number of us seems to be growing on a daily basis. The quality and range of genres is immense

Cover versions are a common jump off point for musicians trying to get some exposure. They are an easy way to get clicks and show off what you can do as a musician. My favorite cover versions are ones

They say you always Love the music you grew up on. So what do you do when you grew up on Hip Hop but you are a pasty white slightly over the hill Englishman in NY the wrong side 40? Is it still OK to blast

Life gets hectic and I just realized it's been a couple of weeks since I have been able to give some time to deep dive in to DSound to extract some Gems. I am up to volume 9 now so looking forward to keeping

Creativity is an odd compulsion. On the surface it has very little functional value. Music composition, writing, photography and art are not things you can eat, that give you shelter or take care of any

Music can evoke many emotions and can release many as well. You can release some tension and anger by singing along to your favorite screamcore band or you can calm your bones with some extremely chilled

Some of a certain age will remember very well that the whole world as we knew it was supposed to fall apart at the stroke of midnight as 1999 became 2000. Hysteria and Hysterical speculations had people

This is my 8th musical fishing trip in to the waters of DSound. Loads of great music this week. The quality of beats and hip hop posted by Steemians is particularly impressive and seems to be a genre where

Since the dawn of music as an industry there have been artists that have burned brightly but sadly been extinguished before their time. Musicians can be a fragile and sensitive breed. Depression and other
