Making music on your Android is now easier than ever. With Android apps like Chord!, Musical Pro, and MicDroid, you’re instantly back in the garage counting off “1,2,3…” with the band.
Chord!
Part chord-encyclopedia, part playground, Chord! lets musicians look up, invent, and practice chords. Whether it’s for guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo or bass, Chord! teaches established chords with diagrams and tones and lets users invent their own as well. You can also switch tunings so you can play in whatever key you choose. So whether you are waiting at the doctor’s office or riding the bus home, you’re ready to host your own little jam session right from your Android. The wide range of information and performance of Chord! makes it one of the best apps for making music on your Android for the tech-savvy musician.
Musical Pro
This handy little app let’s you create an entire band’s performance on your own Android. Christopher Souvey’s Musical Pro and Musical Lite (the free version) let you play the piano—a full 88-key grand with scrollability—the keyboard, and a Woodstock-worthy eight-piece drum set.
For those who want to brush up a little bit before wowing the crowd, Musical Pro has practice games where you can check famous songs and hone your Android-style music skills. With this app, you don’t even have to help the drummer set up—the drum kit is all ready for you!
Get ready to play some killer Animal-style drum solos with Music Pro’s help. There’s also a pitch pipe and metronome to help you master timing and rhythm, making this one of the best apps for making music on your Android.
MicDroid
This is the app for those who love to showcase their singing prowess wherever they go. Ready to belt out your favorite song along with its original performer? Simply press the “Record” button and sing along. MicDroid’s real expertise comes in helping you out a bit: It offers automatic and on-the-fly pitch correction for those notes you aren’t too sure. You can listen to the corrected tracks of yourself and see where correction is needed. If you want to share your amazing skills with family and friends, MicDroid also lets you email the recordings or use them as your ringtone.
Apps like these make technology and music get along better than ever. Tech-savvy musicians will find these apps fun and helpful as they improve their skills just by using their Android apps.
