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!

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!
