We have prepared a list of some of the best music making apps for music producers. Whenever you feel inspired and you are out of the studio, it’s very simple to take your phone or tablet and start creating a new song. If you have a synth line in your head or you need to simple record some sounds or a live performance and then mix it into your main track back in the studio – a music-making app can be very helpful.Many of these music-making applications include many features like a full DAW but run on Android and iOS offering you full mobility.
