What with iOS 5, IK Multimedia SampleTank for iOS and Korg Kaossilator (not to mention the arrival of your favourite music making magazines on the Apple Newsstand) it’s been quite a week for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. And it’s about to get even better, thanks to the arrival of three tasty updates and a brand new DJing app.

Music Studio was one of the first DAW-style apps to arrive on iOS and version 2 ups its game considerably. Audio tracks, mic recording, Audio Copy/Paste, new instruments and drum pads represent just some of the many improvements, making this a serious mobile production contender.

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
