GrooveMaker has announced that its range of style-based paid apps has surpassed the 500,000 downloads marker, and has become one of the most downloaded loop remixing applications for the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. The first Groovemaker app was released in August 2009, but the range of today comprises of 11 style-based versions covering all types of dance music genres and more, including House, Hip-Hop, Techno, Trance, Electro, D’n’B, Rock, Reggae and Reggaeton.
For those of you that are not familiar, GrooveMaker allows you to create professional-sounding full-length tracks and grooves, under a term I call ‘casual productivity’. It is so easy to use and learn that anybody can create their own songs and remixes in literally minutes!
Grooves made in GrooveMaker can be manipulated in real-time (pan, volume, mute, solo, group and tempo) and be easily arranged by dragging and dropping to create full-length tracks. These tracks can then be saved, previewed and recalled on the iPhone/iPod Touch or exported as hi-quality .WAV files to any computer using a Wi-Fi network. All of this is done in real-time, without ever having to stop the music – possibly one of the coolest features in the app, I think.
All the GrooveMaker apps are available on the Apple iTunes App Store, with prices ranging from $4.99/€3.99 to $9.99/€7.99. There are currently 10 available paid apps: Club, House, Hip-Hop, Techno, Trance, Electro, D’n’B, Rock Ace, Reggae and Reggaeton. Also, there is GrooveMaker FREE, which you could give a go if you want to find out if the apps are as good as they sound!

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! 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.
