Track Studio helps you learning and transcribing your favourite tunes by changing the speed and pitch of the track in real-time. You also have access to a handy "skip back" button and AB looper, to get through the trickier bits. Please note: since the app needs to process the full audio's waveform, the song needs to be available on your device. Unfortunately, the most popular streaming services don't offer access to the whole audio file to third-party apps since all files are protected by Digital Rights Management technologies :(

Melodic Studio is a professional, mobile-first DAW designed to make music creation feel fast, clear, and natural. It gives you a complete environment to sketch ideas, build tracks, and finish songs—all from a single, focused workflow. At its core, Melodic Studio is built around two main modes: Scene Mode and Arrangement Mode. Scene Mode lets you work with looping clips, building ideas in small sections. Arrangement Mode gives you a full timeline where you structure your track from start to finish. A simple Context Button is always available, letting you switch modes and manage scenes without breaking your flow. You get eight built-in instruments: Drum Pads, Piano, Synth, Guitar, Strings, Sampler, Voice Recorder, and Chord Organ. Each one includes built-in music theory features, along with tools like note repeat, real-time effects, and expressive controls that make playing feel immediate and responsive. There are also hundreds of sounds and presets available, so you can move quickly from idea to sound. You can also turn your own recordings into playable instrument sounds. Record or import audio, refine it in Audio Lab, use pitch detection to set the root note, then play it from instruments like Piano, Guitar, Strings and more. The workflow is pattern-based. You create clips, arrange them, and build your track step by step. Audio editing tools are included, allowing you to trim, split, fade, and process recordings directly inside the app. A full channel mixer lets you control volume, panning, and routing across your project. You can also apply effects to any track or instrument, including EQ, compression, delay, reverb, and more. Melodic Studio includes a MIDI editor with tools to manipulate notes in detail. You can also automate any parameter, from volume to effects, giving you full control over how your track evolves over time. The interface is split into four main views: Arrangement, Instrument, Launchpad, and Mixer. Each one is focused on a specific part of the process. Arrangement handles the timeline. Instrument is where you record. Launchpad lets you control clips and scenes in real time. Mixer gives you quick access to balancing your tracks. Clips can be saved and reused across projects, making it easy to build your own library of ideas. When your track is ready, you can export full arrangements, individual clips, or scenes as WAV, MP3, or MIDI files. Projects can also be synced to the cloud and shared with others, allowing for collaboration and continuity across devices. You explore, listen & create - That’s the core idea behind Melodic Mind. Let music feel natural again. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://melodic-mind.com/privacy-policy
