The last of couple of years, we've seen a lot of evolution. Let's face it. The last decade, many people have found their way to the wunderfull world of computers and daw software offering us a complete studio at home. Many manufacturers have done a lot of work in order to getting their tools near to perfection and with much success indeed.
Ok, then... but what's next?
Well, a couple of weeks ago I bought a new litle gadget, named "Korg Gadget". (see
http://www.korg.com/us/products/software/korg_gadget_for_ipad/)
Little seems to be in place, because being an app, the price is modest. However, this thing is far from being little... nop... it's actually
great Korg made a bundle of electronic-sounding music tools and squeezed those in a tool capable of making sequences and complete songs. It's amazing how small simple tools can be combined to a complete music production toolkit. And allthough it's not made for every kind of music style, it's sound great.
Yet, if you like electronic music, and you have an I-pad laying around, you should deffinetly check this one out.
This brings me to the word 'revolution'.
20 year's ago, we dreamt of having a personal studio. Today, a studio fits in a computer. Well, today, we see a new kind of tool (apps) that allow to put a studio in a tablet. Meaning, you can stay in your chair, or you can take your studio wherever you go. Isn't this thing fantastic? Wherever you are, at the moment a musical inspiration hits you, take out your tablet and just make your music.
Okay, evolution or revolution? I don't care how you name it, but for sure it's great to see a new kind of technology reaching the music making community.
