The best iPad music making apps in the world today

UPDATED: MusicRadar's top 10 list of recommendations

The MusicRadar Team, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 3:09 pm UTC

This dedicated iPad version of AmpliTube 2 adds (among other things) five new stompboxes, improved sound, a built-in single track recorder (plus the option to upgrade to an 8-track recorder), two send effects per channel, a SpeedTrainer, and new import/export options.

One of the big advantages of the iPad version is that, unlike on the iPhone or iPod touch, there’s no flicking through pages to view the whole interface. Stick your iPad on a stand, plug in the iRig interface (sold separately) and you could use this on-stage for live performance. What’s more - and most importantly - AmpliTube sounds great.

  • Angelina RobertsI love music and love use iPad, your article very useful.
  • Kord TaylorHi, I wanted to post a mention that Looptastic HD for iPad (usually $14.99 on the #AppStore) is on sale for only $.99 (that's only 99 cents US!) until Dec 30th. Go to http://bit.ly/arKmTx. As you mention, it's a great live loop instrument for folks who like to make music. You can remix live with loops and FX on-the-fly and then edit as an arrangement in apps like studio.HD. It comes with a ton of loops in lots of styles like house, hip hop, etc. Our gruvtron imstrument is only.99 right now too. Grab them before the price goes up again! Happy Holidays -kT
  • Matt PooleAlso very much worth considering is 'Animoog' - unbelievably great sounds.
  • iOS Musician BlogPretty fair list... Don't think Amplitube should be that high though, as you STILL can't use it with a 30-pin dock interface...
  • Daniela Orrantiaalso there is also ik multimedia sampletank
  • Flamin HarryGarageband doesn't work with Ipad 2 and os5 on the Alesis iodock. Beware!
  • Anthony AlvesI use Meteor Multitrack by 4pockets. By far the most powerful and pro like daw station for the iPad.
