LoopStation: Turn Your iPhone into a Musical Instrument
LoopStation is a free iPhone app developed by Rene Zuidhof that transforms your device into a versatile musical instrument. With this looper, you can record your own sounds and voice and combine them into one symphony, just like you would with a physical loop pedal.
Whether you're beatboxing, singing, or playing an instrument, LoopStation allows you to create your own music. You can start by recording the basetrack or use the built-in metronome to help you with timing. Each subsequent recording becomes an overdub of the basetrack. The app offers various controls such as adjusting volume, adding reverb, and changing the position of the recordings.
Once you're satisfied with your loop, you can make a single track of your session and share it with friends and fellow musicians using other apps on your phone like Facebook, WhatsApp, SoundCloud, and Mail. It's a great way to collaborate and showcase your creations.
In order to ensure clean recordings, it is highly recommended to use headphones while using the app to prevent re-recording.
