It is well known that over the last 10 years the barriers<\/a> to making music have been shattered by highly effective, and cheap, music making software. Musicians now have many great resources when it comes to digital studio software and online collaboration<\/a> and production tools. And, as music making technology continues to spread and becomes easier to use, even fans have entered the music making process<\/a> by remixing and collaborating with their favorite artists.<\/p>\n The next step in the evolution of music production very well may be mobile music making, and while many mobile music tools have been released in the last several years, IK Multimedia’s GrooveMaker<\/a> may be the most effective. After the success of their first four applications released last August, IK Multimedia has put out two new versions of their GrooveMaker music production apps. The new GrooveMaker Techno<\/a> and GrooveMaker Trance<\/a> add to IKM\u2019s existing genre collection of House<\/a>, Hip-Hop<\/a>, and Club<\/a>. If you get the itch to make some beats on-the-go, these apps allow users to create and share full length, non-stop tracks in real-time, perfect for DJing, remixing, or creating multimedia soundtracks. Pretty sweet, eh?<\/p>\n The GrooveMaker apps contain advanced remixing software that allows for control over eight stereo loop tracks. Users can pull from GrooveMaker\u2019s extensive library of high sound-quality drum, bass, bass drums, lines, pads, percussion and effects loops, and loops are easily arranged by dragging and dropping. GrooveMaker\u2019s randomization feature lets users create millions of possible grooves with just one touch. Once a user is done with their jam, tracks can be saved, previewed, recalled, and exported as .WAV files to a computer through a Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n While GrooveMaker Techno and GrooveMaker Trance are available in the iTunes App Store<\/a> for $9.99, IK Multimedia has given us a few copies to give out for free! The first four people to tweet<\/a> out \u201cI dig the GrooveMaker iPhone app and @EvolvingMusic<\/a>!\u201d will get a free copy of the GrooveMaker app. Or check out GrooveMaker\u2019s fully functional basic version, available for free on iTunes<\/a>.
