Music Studio with Drums, Bass, Keys and Guitar tracks

Drum machine

Beats that sound like a real kit

Tap in a pattern on a step grid, choose an Acoustic kit or an Electronic 808/909 kit, and pick a style such as Rock, Ballad, Blues shuffle or Country to start from. Add fills, copy bars, and switch between parts like Verse and Chorus.

  • Round, Punch, Metal and Boom acoustic kit flavors
  • Bar, Bars & fills and Beat views
  • Tap in a new groove by tapping on the beat yourself

Bass and keys

Fill out the song

Play bass notes on pads or let the studio help with chords. Choose a synth bass or a sampled finger bass, and play along with your guitar if you like. Keys give you E-Piano, Strings, Organ and Synth sounds on the same easy grid.

  • Draw, Move, Split, Timing and Erase tools
  • Chord view to build progressions fast
  • Four bars at a time, copy and extend as you go

Record

Record guitar or vocals

Add a recording track, get a count-in, and hear your guitar while you record. You can also import an MP3, WAV or M4A you already have and work with it on the same timeline.

  • Count-in before you record
  • Hear your own sound while recording
  • Import audio from your phone

Timeline

Arrange everything together

See every track on one timeline. Split and cut clips, nudge them into place, mark sections, insert bars, zoom in and out, and undo or redo when you change your mind. Snap to 1/16, beat or bar.

  • Mute and solo on every track
  • Pattern, Split all, Mark and Insert tools
  • Looks great in landscape on a bigger phone

Mix and export

Finish and share your song

Set the master level, balance each track and every drum in the kit, then export the whole song or a marked part as a high-quality MP3 or lossless WAV, ready to share or to use in your videos.

  • Master and per-track levels, mute and solo
  • Individual levels for each drum, from kick to crash
  • Exports are kept below clipping so they upload cleanly
