Number of cool music applications and gadgets that all outputs and leaves no chance and Android device to be useful in the music industry. In this article I want to tell you about how I use the iPhone to rehearsals and performances.

2 - iPhone basic applications. First - this is the application, the second - in gadgets that connect to it.

Metronome by Musicopoulos

For playing at home, I often use a metronome and Metronome (pardon the tautology), I chose the tried dozens of other applications. It is simple to use, has no superfluous features, and nevertheless has those who really need them.

The only drawback I would mention awkward slider to adjust the tempo, it can difficult to choose the right speed.

Guitar Tuner²

Excellent tuner that allows you to tune your guitar or other stringed instrument using the iPhone's built-in microphone. It works very accurately and does not error compared to the tuner.

Drum Beats +

When our drummer refuses to come to the rehearsal, we have to replace it with the application. Drum Beats drum contains dozens of bits in different styles.

AmpliTube

AmpliTube I use for only one purpose: fine-tuning a guitar that plugs into the iPhone using the iRig, which will be discussed below.

Musical gadgets for iOS - a separate issue. They are a great many, and I had my way, I would have bought them all. But I had to limit myself to two.

iRig

iRig - is a small adapter that lets you connect your guitar to your iPhone or iPad and use it as an amplifier. I tell you a secret: I bought a fake version iRig Chinese online store. For half a year of using it no problem.

In addition to the use of the gadget as a combo, the iRig also allows you to tune your guitar by inserting it directly into the device. For this application you need, and AmpliTube, of which I spoke above. You can also use the free Garage Band.

iStomp

iStomp I waited like a miracle. This guitar effects pedal, which is connected to the iOS device and allows you to upload it to 40 different effects. It is completely digital, which can not satisfy lovers of warm, tube music, but does its job by 1000%.

For $ 70 you get access to dozens of effects that would otherwise cost you thousands of dollars. I still can not get enough of her purchase and recommend it to any guitar player.

These apps and gadgets I use constantly. iPhone could replace my tuner, metronome and many other things besides, practically for free. Are there any musicians among readers? If so, what gadgets and applications you use?
