Newbie that wants to learn to create their own music. It's not something I've done as a hobby yet, but I listen majority of the time. So lol, I think I should try my hand at creating music for once.
Right now, I don't have an instrument nor the space to practice with it. What kind of apps for android do you recommend to create music?
I use FL Studio 21 but it’s kinda complicated for me.

I want to get into music production since I have a lot of lyrics just laying around.
I don't play any insturment so I decided on using an app to compose. I've researched and the best app I found was Garageband, where I can get license of the song I made. But my iPad is kind of old and doesn't support IOS 16.
I've also come across SoundTrap which is completely royalty free and easy to use (for me at least), but I wanna know if there are better alternatives, because for some reason I can't add guitar sounds.
So I want to know if there are any apps with the following features:
Works on Android or IOS 16
Lets me copyright the songs I make without additional payment
Completely free
Not very hard to use
I know I'm asking for too much, but I appreciate any help. Thanks for the recommendations in advance. :]
I'm brand new to iOS and very excited, garageband has blown my mind! I've picked up koala, I've ordered a camera connector and have a akai mpk mk3
What are the must have apps for making music for you on iOS?
What websites and/or apps are the best to create music on? I'm 15-17 y/o so I don't have much equipment, but I recently wrote a song I love and I want to bring it to reality so I can share it to people, I just don't know what to use.
And or which is the best program?
Hi im a beginner, im sorry i dont know. Im excited to start this journey
I've got a midi keyboard that can connect to he iPad.
I'm looking for some synths, a sequencer, and maybe the ability to string it together into a song and export. I'm looking to make mostly electronic+jazz music.
Garageband is great, but I struggle with the UI.
There's a million apps out there - beatmaster 3, korg gadget 2, etc.
If you were to only have a single app, what would it be?
Any recommendations? I used to know a really good one but I can't remember
Edit: realised I need something for my MacBook, not tablet as it doesn't have a headphone jack and just one USB C. So I will just use the tablet for playing around with something basic when I need ultra portable. Caustic seems to be the most recommended so far, despite it's age.
I have tried quite a few apps and have been left frustrated. I would like something that ticks these boxes please:
Easy to use - I tried various apps but they are confusing, hence me asking this rather than just trying more. I have tried some tutorials and wasted a lot of time only to discover the app is not for me e.g. very limited free version, very few instruments, being loop based instead of letting me make my own music...
Free. At least has a good free level so I can try it for a while and isn't too expensive if one day I will need to pay. I don't want to commit to a year after 5 minutes. Reasonable price would be a couple of dollars per month, not $5+ per month. Free would be best to get me into making music.
Not based on pre-made loops. Many apps I have tried seem to be based on loops, so they are just remixing other people's music. I want to create my own music from scratch. Using loops feels like cheating.
Contains plenty of instruments. Some apps I have tried don't even have more than one drum kit. I would like a decent selection of instruments to choose from. Happy to upgrade in future, but for now I need a decent amount to get started e.g. 5 drum kits with at least 5 different kicks and snares to choose from.
Can be played on screen, or hooked up to a midi controller.
Doesn't make me sign up to start. I am happy to sign up when I decide I will use the app, but I am not giving my email away to random apps that I haven't used yet. This one isn't a deal breaker if the recommendation is strong.
Is there anything that ticks all of the above? There are so many apps now that there must be one or two.
Also, is there a more suitable sub Reddit to ask questions like this? Thanks.
I mean ik garageband exists but im kinda feeling something more idk... professional? Also sry if this is quite a common question DX
Does anybody know of any very simple music making apps? What I’m looking for is something that I can record sounds with my phone and make a loop out of them, eventually putting them together. I’m not experienced in music making but I am interested in trying some things out and experimenting a little. Like i said, the simpler the better. Thank you!
Are there really any good DAWs/apps for making music on Android? And do you need to buy a microphone?
Just like the title says! I’m starting to learn music, and I wanted to know what a good app was to make my own music.
Thanks!!!
(I would prefer free options)
Free options in increasing order of complexity: Bosca Ceoil, BandLab (browser), LMMS, Cakewalk (Windows only), Ardour.
Starting with LMMS, these are fully fledged DAWs (digital audio workstations.) BandLab is in a gray area. The latter three support the VST format, which is common for third-party instruments and effects.
There are a lot of free VSTs out there. You can find a ton of free sampled instruments from Spitfire LABS, Orchestral Tools SINEFactory, Heavyocity Foundations, pianobook (look for the ones that run in the free DecentSampler plugin) and so on. Vital and Surge XT are free synths with a wealth of presets online.
If you want to keep it simple, download Bosca Ceoil and forget the rest. Get familiar with writing melodies, etc. before worrying about sounds. Bosca Ceoil is likely all you'll ever need for chiptunes and other arcadey styles.
Korg gadget is cool. Koala sampler is one of the best samplers out there. This answer is mobile apps but I’m realizing that might not be what you meant. Any daw works great for computer
I’ve been wanting to make music for a while, but I can’t seem to find a service that’s free. Can someone help me?
Hey Game Devs! I am looking to create my own music for my game, however, I don't know what applications to use. Do you have any recommendations. I would prefer a free option, however, I would be willing to try a paid option as well. Thank you!
Which are best apps for writing music on phone and computer?
