I’ve written a couple of posts in the last few days (here and here) on the Groovemaker software, mainly because I was completely blown-away by it – being able to generate a seamless mix of music, in such an easy way, literally means you could do a live warm-up set at any friends’ party, just with your iPhone!! It is THAT good, seriously.
Now the best bit about the original App was that it’s free – but there are some other variants of the App which have a premium fee, and purchasing them allows you to move in to other genres of music, and get additional tracks to mastermix.
So to recap let’s look at what there is:
Range, pricing and availability:
There are 4 GrooveMaker applications already available and 4 more to come soon for every dance music style, including a fully functional FREE version that you can download to start making music right away!
GrooveMaker FREE
- House and Hip-Hop styles, 125 loops included (78-125 BPM), FREE
GrooveMaker Club
- Techno, Trance and House styles, 189 loops included (130-135-145 BPM), $4.99/€3.99
GrooveMaker Hip-Hop
- Hip-Hop style, 315 loops included (80-85-90-100 BPM), $9.99/€7.99
GrooveMaker House
- House style, 315 loops included (120-123-125-127 BPM) $9.99/€7.99
I’ve done something very unusual with these Apps – I’ve paid for them all! Normally I get my Apps on a review basis, and as a result there’s no fee – but these Apps were so good that I wanted them immediately, before any voucher codes had been generated – and I don’t regret it for a second. The brilliance of the FREE App was matched by the Hip-Hop App – another genre I love, and there are a bonkers amount of sounds for you to experiment with!
The best bit about the App is that it’s very intuitive – I could ramble on about the amazing randomizer pads that let you mix in a pre-selected (random) set of sounds in to your track/mix, or the astonishingly big soundbank – but I won’t – instead I’ll say BUY the FREE App, then once you love that, go and grab the others too.
I love this App – just in case it wasn’t clear 
All these GrooveMaker applications are already available for download and purchase from the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iTunes App Store. However I’d check out http://www.GrooveMaker.com if you want a really good set of videos demos on how the App works – trust me, its quite awesome!

It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
