Here are 25 completely FREE music making apps for iOS. No freemium apps, no IAP's and No strings attached. There are a lot of free apps on the Appstore and I've gone through over 500 music apps, for both iPad and iPhone, just to find the most useful ones. I've managed to find Synthesizers, Drummachines, Delays, Flangers, MIDI tools and a few other goodies. However, the list isn't perfect because I was working under a strict set of rules.

Jakob you truly out did yourself with this list. I've watched many of your production and review vids over time, including for iPad. I may have been subconsciously urged with the rekindling of my love affair with Propellerhead Rebirth RB-338 in the process. By far my favorite virtual instrument bundle. For several months now, I've combined software with analog and digital hardware into my setup. With audiobus and midiflow adapter connectivity for iOS, your list takes production and performance possibilities with iPad to a higher level of consciousness. 😅 I'm just now realizing the power I have, literally, in the palm of my hand within iPad to produce great music on the go or on my couch. Yezzir❗👊🏽 😆 Thank You‼️

This video was clearly to help others. I hope you do more in the future, I’ll for sure sub, and I’ll have to give your album a spin. Anyway again thank you for the info and time.

What is the best app to make music with echo

@JakobHaq 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on what you are looking for exactly. ”Echo” is not really a term we use as producers. We either talk about Reverb” or “Delay”. These two effects are very different from one another. A Reverb is used to simulate rooms and spaces (Halls, Cathedrals, basement space etc). While a “delay” take an audio signal, holds it and then played it back after a set amount of time. Both effects can be colloquially referred to as “Echo”. There is no “Best” app, there is only what you need and what you like the best. You have to decide with your ears basically. . Here’s a link to a video about what I consider to be an extremely good Reverb plugin for iOS: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcujjceimq-ain0.html . I have many more videos on Reverbs. Here’s another one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdd7hNam0LSVnn0.html . Here’s a big comparison video in where I’m going through Shimmer reverbs. A very special type of reverb. It’s insane how different they all sound from one another: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKp4e7am0puXcZc.html . When it comes to Delay there are several types of Delays out there. Here’s one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7eGbMR1rdXXYn0.html . Here’s one with an old school sound to it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbBlf8iD0piulHk.html . If also recommend FD-1 that I’m usin for this episode. It’s not about the delay effect per see but still: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocyjjamKrMWuo58.html

First, I really enjoyed this & some other of your videos. Wrote a list down, dloaded, installed, & testing. 2nd, I just got Cubasis while on sale for $26 and ... Wow 3rd, Scythe is pronounced "sigh + th", not "sky+th", but it seems like English isn't your first language so you're forgiven. Which brings me to... 4th, why don't you (please) educate folks in each video with something in your first language? I'm guessing it's Swedish (?) or Finnish (?), languages which have vowels most Americans (like me) can't hear or reproduce, so -- how fun would it be to learn how to pronounce something new in each video? All I can say in Swedish is a curse phrase that made my old Swedish housemate turn bright red, so I'm down to learn more! THANKS for your vids & your music skillz!
