I’ve been waiting for this app since February (when I first heard about this major competitor to GarageBand). So far there are a few notable differences and similarities between these two iPad apps. First off, this app is a reasonably good deal at $19.99 (whereas the GarageBand app is much cheaper…$4.99!!) …considering what you get (see below). Both of these apps are good ‘note pads’ for putting down ideas, and as such, the outputs of both can be read by their PC and Mac big brothers.

Fruity Loops FL Studio For iPad

Finally FL Studio (Fruity Loops) on an Apple!

FL Studio mobile will allow you to create complete multi-track projects on your iPod, iPhone, or iPad and, if you want, load mobile projects into FL Studio and take them to the next level.

If it’s a beat on the Step sequencer, a melody on the Piano roll or a full song on the Playlist, FL Studio mobile has you covered. Never lose that idea again. Get it down and happening wherever you are.

The Instruments

FL Studio Mobile comes with a wide range of studio recorded instruments covering all musical styles like classic, jazz, rock, electronic and much more.

The Step Sequencer:

Bar-wise editing in the sequencer speeds up the process significantly: record just one measure of a beat or a melody, then simply repeat it a few times to build up your song.

Duplicate patterns and move them to other tracks
