I’m interested in music production and the recording arts, and was wondering if it would be better to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab, or a netbook.
Would a Galaxy Tab suit my needs as an independent music producer, or should I go with the netbook?
At the moment android system does have SOME apps that could help you in your audio mixing ventures, however it wont be as detaled or powerful as a laptop or a higher end netbook.
I am looking for some software that will let me pick from hundreds of different instruments and place notes on a virtual sheet music. I haven’t found one yet and are getting annoyed with my lack of results. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative.
I personally sugggest dubturbo. Its easy to use and uncomplicated.
It’s user interface is easy to understand. However a full version of dubturbo will cost you $30, but if you try too look around and compare its price from other software, you will find this software as the cheapest one. Its cheap but performance is almost the same with those $100 music software.
Practically saying, dubturbo is a wise choice.
Aside from making beats, dubturbo can also be used to make dubsteps, remixes, techno tunes, and any music editings.
If you do not have the cash then you are always welcome to check out its trial version
Hope this helps.
I’m a first time user of music production software and this is all conusing to me. so I just need to know how to make your project into an audio file like .mp3
once your happy with your project, you need to click in the ruler along the top of the project window so that the two markers appear, drag these past each end of your project so that everything is encompassed in blue not red, then go to file, export audio mixdown where you can choose what audio format you want your project saved as.

JR Hexatone ($9.99) from http://www.Amidio.com - The first-ever music creation application that bares Jordan’s name, in where he was directly involved in the product’s development. Jordan states, “JR Hexatone specializes in sound sequences that are perfect for the Drum-n-Bass, Glitch, Techno, and electronic scene. For hard rock and heavy metal beats to jam to, I like a program called Thump.” ($3.99) from http://www.mrkbrz.com.
4 Track ($9.99) for the iPhone and StudioTrack ($39.99) for iPad from http://www.SonomaWireWorks.com — Trey Anastasio of Phish stated in Rolling Stone Magazine, “I’m obsessed with this FourTrack recording app — a super powerful studio in your pocket. I can record basically anywhere.”
Looptastic (FREE to $14.99) from http://www.soundtrends.com - Jordan states, “This suite of Apps allows you to mix together a variety of cool loops and loop sets without a lot of effort, and add wide array of cutting edge effects, some of which I helped them create. It’s the best way to get a lot of cool sounds and loops happening quickly from a very user-friendly, easy and fun environment.”
Music Studio ($14.99) from http://www.xewton.com — Jordan states, “Music Studio is a very powerful and serious App that is almost like having Apple’s Garage Band on your iPhone. For anybody who’s traveling, this is the most serious, must-have, all-in-one music App.”
Guitar: Play and Share: ($3.99) and iShred ($4.99) from http://www.FrontierDesign.com - “And not to leave out guitarists,” Jordan says, “there are a lot of guitar Apps, but these two are so easy, fun and clear that will have you up and running quickly, and the sampled guitar sounds are excellent.”
