There are some looped beats of various styles of music to help you along the way.

Here is a break down of the apps that any serious musicianproducer is going to want to keep on their iDevice.

Though limited in the mixing and fine tuning department, and with only 8-tracks to record on, many people will embrace the simple interface and the ability to immediately and intuitively start creating music.

The on-board virtual instruments mean that the app contains all you need to get up and running.

With an extended amp and pedal selection built in for iRig users, Garage Band is the most self contained option for musicians.

Simple file transfer capabilities to GarageBand for your Mac and the ability to easily share your music seal the deal, making GarageBand an essential recording tool for musicians.

The interface, though extensive, is intuitive and familiar (particularly to those who may be familiar with Propellerheads Reason).

Those interested can also purchase additional tones and sound banks to give you a nice selection of options.

Add mic and plug-in recording options and you have a hearty Digital Audio Workstation that deserves your attention.

The ability to record 4 tracks simultaneously (8 track live recording coming soon) on iPads with a USB input makes this an invaluable tool for bands looking to record their rehearsals or gigs.

Users also have the option to record single tracks in stereo or two tracks, simultaneously, in mono.

Best Recording App Upgrade To 16

Another nice option is the ability to upgrade to 16 and 24 tracks via in-app purchase.

As it is, the 8 track version offers fluid controls, a great interface that takes advantage of the iPad real estate, and some very nice mixing options.

Add the 24 track upgrade and this app is downright dangerous.

The catch is, you have to first buy Amplitube and then, and only then, are you able to buy their 8-track recorder add on.

Additionally, if you wish to purchase effects pedals to enhance your sound options be prepared to pay extra for those as well.

That being said, Amplitube offers a fantastic interface that most musicians will feel comfortable with immediately.

If money is no object, then Amplitube deserves your time.and hard earned cash.

Though there is no way to mix them individually, it still allows you to experiment with recording in a whole new way.

Best Recording App Full Input Recording

With full input recording options and a simple loop insert function and editing interface nearly identical to Looptastic, Studio HD seems to be stuck somewhere in between being a true DAW and the aforementioned Looptastic.

Still, its a decent option for those looking to ease into multi-track recording without being overwhelmed by too many bells and whistles.

Rightly so its simple and user-friendly design will be familiar to musicians already familiar with desk top recorders such as those offered by Korg and Tascam.
