Tune Maker User Reviews

Doesn't work with latest iOS

It's not possible to create new projects on the phone / iPad internal storage nor iCloud. Clicking the plus symbol does nothing so you're stuck on that screen.

Is it just a file browser?

Canโ€™t figure out how to start a song. Looks like a file browser only

Supremely useful

I am probably not the typical user but I need something for jotting down riffs and rough ideas. I've tried everything I could find and this is the best option there is for me. Super easy to use as well.

Poor documentation. Useless.

A blank sheet of paper would be more helpful. A very poor interface. Rudimentary and clunky.

Hi. You can find user manual in the settings. The manual covers all the screen of the app with detailed screenshots and descriptions. If you have any questions feel free to contact me by the support email. Dmitry

Super Underrated

This APP is AMAZING. My favorite for sketching out super quick grooves. The way it host AUs is amazing. This developer is among the very creme de la creme on iOS. I suspect a great many people are missing out on this app.

Not the tool I thought it would be

I wish I could have demoโ€™d this. I would not have bought it. Wasted my $. I was hoping the app allowed for playing chords underneath the track and compose melodies over it.

Response from developer

Hi! Tune Maker allows you to create parts of your composition in any order. You can start from melody, drums or chords. If you want to create chords first, it is perfectly fine. After creating the chord track though you should add some arpeggio track which is the rhythmic pattern of your chord track. For additional detail please look at the manual. If you have any questions please contact me by the support email. Best wishes, Dmitry

So much potential here...

This app is fantastic for writing songs. The ability to structure parts and arrange harmony over chords in a simple, powerful, clear where you can control and see where and how your parts interact with each other is unparalleled in my opinion.

I prefer this approach over the novel ChordFlow app by the same developer. However, it would appear that it is still early days for this app. You can export midi and output midi to to virtual sources and au extensions but the implementation of these features seems incomplete.

So from my experience, the only real way to use this at the moment is with internal sounds and export the midi to your DAW of choice. If this suits you then I recommend this app. If you are looking for inter-app connectivity then this app has a way to go.

Looking forward to future releases with Audiobus, AUM, proper AU extension hosting, and full Ableton Link support.

Simply amazing!

Itโ€™s so much fun to sketch out songs with Tune Maker. I had a four part song in less than 15 minutes. Exported the MIDI to NanoStudio 2 with a couple of taps, and it was ready to be worked into a complete track. There are quite a few song making apps on the App Store, but this is the first one thatโ€™s felt so easy and natural to use. Highly recommended!

Love this for on the go / road composing but please add a audio export option.
