GrooveMaker Trance, Techno, Electro & D'n'B: "Fantastic Fun!" "...they are kinda like the Guitar Hero of mobile music production, but there’s real productivity in here too - it’s no game!" 
The highly respected phone and apps reviews website IntoMobile, who recently called the GrooveMaker series 'Awesome' has now reviewed the new Trance, Techno, Electro and Drum'n'Bass releases. Here are some of the comments, courtesy of expert reviewer Ben Robinson: "Within the UI you can kick off an auto-assembled track just using the 'Groove' button, and then start changing elements from there – this is my preferred method of using the app, because you can jump in to using it just with one button – brilliant for the moments when you might have 10 mins spare." "For me this is probably the winning part of the app – there must be 60 or so sample loops within the application, sub-divided in to categories. Most people understand that for the average piece of music, you need beats, bass, rhythm, FX, and maybe a touch of vocals – and GrooveMaker makes it incredibly easy to cut these soundbanks in and out." "The app is designed so you can pick any sound, without needing to pre-listen, and cut it in – knowing you won't get clashes – because each sample is checked to sit nicely with others – as I said, synergy." "I should make a specific note here about the (new) soundbanks – they really are superbly composed, and definitely sit well at the right bpm, instrument sets, and variety of things you might expect to hear in a Trance/Techno/Electro/DnB choon." "There's much more to do than just going 'in the mix' and changing sample loops though - you can adjust the volume, pan, and speed of the track, jump between a series of auto-grooves (all auto-mixed for you!), and adjust all the usual options you might expect. You can even save your efforts!"and Ben's final conclusion is: 2009-10-26 |
