What does an iPhone musician need?

Mobile devices are replacing us with more and more different things. I can no longer imagine how I used to go to rehearsals with a metronome, tuner and other devices. I now have it all on my iPhone. For a long time I chose the best applications for myself in each category and, in my opinion, I managed to do it.

In this article, we will try to talk about applications that will be useful to every musician and make his life easier. Go!

Garage Band

I won't open America by saying that this is the best tool aggregator for iOS. Working in it is just a pleasure. Garage Band has these tools:

drums
guitars
strings
percussion and effects
samplers

All in all, Garage Band has everything you need to create a musical masterpiece. Of course, the possibilities here are limited and many solutions for a computer will give you much more, but for a mobile device, it's just something!

Drum Beats +

Drum Beats is an application that collects drum loops (loops) of different styles for jamming, training and just playing. From myself, I can say that the application performs its function just fine. All drum parts sound very high quality, and the fact that in each part you can change the tempo makes the application just perfect.

Metronome +

If you say that you can play anything without a metronome, then either you have perfect pitch or you need to show Dr. House. The AppStore has a huge variety of metronomes for every taste. I stopped at this for several reasons: firstly, it is not overloaded with functionality and there are only the most important functions, and secondly, there is a simple and pleasant interface that does not distract.

In the app, you can change the sound of the metronome, adjust the strong and weak beats, and change the tempo. In general, everything you need from a metronome is collected here and presented in an excellent way.

Guitar Chords

If you do not remember all the chords and want to always have a reference with them with you, then you will not find anything better than this application. The app only has a fingering and chord list that you can browse. Minimalism and simplicity are above all!

insTuner

An excellent tuner that can tune your instrument almost perfectly. There are practically no settings here either, but they are not particularly needed.

Ultimate Guitar Tabs

Chances are you know the Ultimate Guitar Tabs site, which contains the largest library of guitar tabs. Not so long ago, they released their own application that copies the functionality of the site and allows you to search, download and store tabs. Very comfortably.

This is where our top ends. There are many more applications in the AppStore, but all of them either repeat the functionality of those described here, or are not done very well.

Do you use any music apps on your mobile device? It would be interesting to know.
