play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienai.chordlab

- Have a common or a strange instrument and want to know how to make chords on it?
- Want to be surprised by smart fingering alternatives that you never thought of?
- Want to experiment with tuning your strings differently?

Much more than a chord finder, a universal chord computer that knows the preferences of humans! ChordLab shows you easy and great-sounding fingerings (tabs) for any chord, for any fretted string instrument (chordophone), real or imaginary, and for any tuning you wish.

No matter if it's a Guitar or a Chinese Liuqin... No matter if it's a Mariachi Vihuela, an Italian Chitarra Battente, or even an instrument invented by you! No matter if it's with a standard tuning or any tuning you decide to experiment with. ChordLab is the expert for every situation.

ChordLab Features:
• Choose from many predefined or custom instruments.
• With a few taps, you can change the tuning of any instrument.
• If it's not there yet, create your own instrument in just a few seconds!
• Choose from 288 chord combinations, including anything from basic chords to folk and jazz chords.
• ChordLab instantly shows you the right fingerings (tabs) with lots of smart alternatives that may surprise you!
• On the top you will see the fingerings/tabs that are easiest and will sound better on your instrument.
• You can duplicate, save, and delete instruments.
• Screen layout optimized for phone, small tablet and big tablet (see screenshots or video).
• No ads! No permissions or internet connection required!

Instrument Compatibility:
ChordLab is an intelligent universal (multi-instrument and multi-tuning) chord finder that incorporates human preferences in the process of creating tabs. It works for any (real or imaginary) commonly fretted chordophone (string instrument). Commonly fretted chordophones are characterized by having frets in one semitone intervals that start at a common position (called nut).

5 Apps for Songwriters on Android

Soundtrap - Online DAW with Android app

9/20/2018

Soundtrap is an interesting DAW option for anyone with unlimited internet and has been around for some time now.
Writing this as they have a specific Android app to use their DAW. Which makes it easier than connecting to their website first, just making everything more streamlined.
There are options out there, the ones that come to mind is Audiotool being more electronic music making friendly and Bandlab being very focused on the social and collaborative aspect (Well to be honest Soundtrap as well).
But as always what generates most inspiration should rule and maybe Soundtrap is better?
(Have not used any of these three... touched Audiotool lightly and found it to be very interesting with a lot of virtual instruments and effects.)

They have pricing plans and the free one have limits set to five projects and fewer things in general.
In this aspect, Auditool and Bandlab are better for sure.

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soundtrap.studioapp

Plug in your own instrument, use the software instruments available in Soundtrap or just record a song directly with a mic— it's super-easy!

You can record, edit and collaborate on your songs wherever you are on almost any device: everything is stored in the cloud!

Moreover, with Soundtrap you don't have to be alone in your creative moments. You can share the fun of making music in real-time with friends using text and video chat and real-time collaboration.

For example, start a new song using all the built in professional loops and software instruments on your tablet when on the bus, continue on your Chromebook when arriving at home, invite a couple of friends, who are working on Mac and Windows devices, and conduct a video chat from within the studio coming up with the bass line for the song and finally find a didgeridoo player in the Soundtrap community laying down a unique ending of the song; you are all working in the same project seeing and hearing all the changes.

It's like Google Docs, but for music production! Experience the new way of making music together.

Soundtrap Features:

- Create music with a large set of high-quality, professional loops.
- Record vocals, electric guitars, acoustic guitar, bass and more.
- Use the preamp and the large number of high-quality guitar, bass and vocal effects
- Play the built-in sampled instruments (piano, organ, synths, drums)
- Save your recordings in the cloud
- Invite friends to collaborate on the recording using, for example, video chat possibilities.
- Share your recordings on Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud
- Distribute your music on iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Rhapsody and Google Play
- Use it on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Linux, iOS and Android

Bluestacks Android Emulator for PC - Now actually pretty good (compared to like a year ago!).

9/18/2018

Some time ago Bluestacks was installed. Thinking that it would be good to do videos for tutorials or similar but it was definitely not good.
It was using an older Android version and in general it compared to a middle to low spec device at the time.
So for example G-Stomper that is a demanding app did hardly work at all...
Something happened to Bluestacks as well and the computer and it did not want to work and never bothered to install it again

But about two months ago red the G-Stomper developer recommending it to someone and got curious as I knew that specifically his app was working very bad.
Okay found out that the latest version of Bluestacks is about thirty times better and so that is good news for anyone that wants to continue to create with hirs favorite apps when devices go missing or just having access to a PC... Or having a weak device but stil wants to go funtime with something more CPU hungry.
And yes it is for free.

Now this is part of the story but something else that happened are that Bluestacks started with affilition programs for websites, Youtube channes etc.
So now there is going to be some publicity for game apps sometimes and if you click and install them you would help me out...
Do not really want to put game ads here on the website, but as the website does not generate any money, need to do something.
This year I am back 60 Moneyes on the website... Sad face.
So please forgive me for the commercial attempt...

But if it works good there will be motiviation to create a better site!

Autodesk Sketchbook is now for free and it is a mighty nice app and art program.
Yapps free for the PC as well. It is necessary to sign up but it was painless and did not got hit with any spam/publicity in the week since.
Tried it when it came as part of my last tablet and was under the impression that it was for free but alas no, after a month it was all a dream and subscription was required.
But I did ike it but was not ready for the subsription...
Now it is actually for free and if having a Samsung device with a pen it is even better!

Drum School

9/14/2018

Remember learning the basic of drumming using drum notation and think that helped me so much with my musicality and am convinced that anyone making/composing music will have big push in the quality of their music learning some drums.
A lot of good music is just the rhythm that push it and melody harmony is not that important.
One very clear example is Bo Diddley and in more generic terms Reggae etc where the rhythm plays as much or more an important part of the music.

This app could be useful just for learning the basics just using feet, legs and arms/finger drumming and/or study for programming better rhythms.
It does not have to be this app of course even though this one looks real good and will probably get it one day soon...

Intuitive Guitar - Best Licks

9/12/2018

Recently being able to play guitar again after around four months of finger pains playing too much before, there was excitment seeing this app with riffs, made by one serious guitar app developer.
Amparosoft have made a whole lot of apps focused on more technical playing so if touching guitar here is a recommendation to check those out:
play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=9142365525037433995

In either case I am curious about this riff app specially as it is electric guitar based which is pretty new for me.
If only I could finally learn "Smoke on the water" I would be happy...
Nah think that this surely will be much more intriguing than that!

Behind The Beat | "Vibe" Produced by TUNES - IL Remote Used

If using FL Studio DAW and did not know or forgot that there is a controller app for free this video shows it being used...
There is some controllers for Abeton Live but they do cost... The last one around 30 monititas...
So that Image Line did this for free is definitively a plus in my book.

Note Recognition - Convert Music into Sheet Music - Now Free

9/11/2018

The app is for free for the moment...
The basic idea being to transfer sound into standard notation.
Did try it a little bit just playing some piano music from Youtube and it seems that it is possible with some effort to get it to recognize some of the music.
Do not have the energy to spend time with it, but it is for free so why not try it?

Giggly Plistoure:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.mystage.note_recognition

"Note Recognition & Audio Speed Changer - Convert Music into Sheet Music" is a note detection & audio speed changer app that converts music into an alternative sheet music. It helps you learning new songs by displaying sheet music suggestions for the recorded audio and provides you the functionality to change the audio speed and slow down your recorded music ("audio slow motion"). It's perfect for musicians who want to write down their own songs or who want to learn new songs and don't know how to play them.

The note analyzer works with pitch detection and frequency analysis (like FFT Fast Fourier Transformation for example) and is perfect for musicians (especially vocal and guitar or piano players). The note analyzer listens to your music, analyzes it's pitch and converts your music back into an alternative sheet music. You can use it to detect the notes of your songs (note identification, the app helps you creating a transcription), validate the pitch of your voice, sing into the microphone and use it as a vocal trainer or to transcribe your songs while playing along with your guitar (or whichever instrument you are playing). And of course, you can also use the note recognition app as a simple audio / voice recorder.

This note detector won't extract 100% of the played notes but depending on the quality of the signal the note detection algorithm will do a good job and will give you useful sheet music suggests. Because the detector can't separate multiple instruments you will get the best results if just one instrument is playing simultaneously or if you record your voice without any background music. Also, you should place your phone in front of your instrument, your voice or your speakers to improve the detection quality.

Please note that the note recognition algorithm performs intense mathematical calculations and it will take some time to analyze your recorded audio.

To be fair, here's what this app is NOT able to do:

Chord recognition
-----------------------------
This app has no specific chord recognition algorithm and therefore won't detect any chords! Don't play multiple notes simultaneously!

Separation of multiple instruments
-----------------------------
The note recognition can't separate multiple instruments. If you record multiple instruments playing simultaneously you will get bad detection results!

Live note recognition
-----------------------------
This app is not able to show you live note recognition results. Instead, it will take some time to perform the frequency analysis and show you the results.

Real sheet music
-----------------------------
This app is not able to show you real sheet music. Instead, it works with an alternative sheet music displayed at the screenshots.

100% match percentage
-----------------------------
This app won't detect 100% of the played notes and there will also be wrong detections. But depending on the quality of the input signal it will give you useful suggests!

The audio speed change functionality provides two music speed factors: 2x and 4x (as slow as normal). If you use this functionality, the note recognition app will zoom into the music score to make it easier for you. Mostly, it's recommended to change music speed if you want to analyze very fast songs because the sheet music gets illegible. Also, by changing the speed of your audio record you'll be able to identify very fast notes easy by ear.

Having bad note detection results sometimes? Try to open the settings and adjust the detail level at which it shall detect notes and convert music into notes.

The note detection was tested with guitar, piano and vocal but should work with every instrument as long as it plays notes above B1 (61,7 Hz) and convert music to sheet music.

Upcoming updates:

- A web app where you can upload your analyzed sheet music, edit it and convert it into MIDI.
