It’s not very often when Apple releases a new app, but the company has introduced the new Music Memos iPhone app for recording songs.
Music Notes It is a mix between the Voice Memos app and GarageBand. It provides an easy-to-use interface reminiscent of the Voice Memos app, but also comes with a host of great features that turn it into a song recording app as it is.
The first thing you see when you open the app is a simple button you press to start recording. While recording, waveforms appear at the bottom of the screen, visualizing the sound the app is receiving. You can press the stop button to stop the recording at any time.
There’s even an auto mode that lets the app start recording automatically when you open the app, providing some super convenient recording sessions.
After you finish recording, this is where the magic starts to happen. Music Notes automatically detects measures and tries to find out which notes are played. You can even record the hum and the app will try to detect the notes, which is pretty impressive.
It won’t always be 100% accurate, so the app has a way to manually change notes and chords. You can also take notes on the particular song in case there’s something special you want to remember later.
Music Memos also lets you add a bass track or a drum part to the recording and automatically detects the time signature of your song so that the tracks play well with the recording.
And unsurprisingly, once you’re done with the Music Memos app, you can export the recording to GarageBand for fine-tuning. You can also upload your recording directly to SoundCloud if you want.
Overall, Music Memos is a really great app and while Voice Memos can also work well for quickly recording your songs, Music Memos is a free option that can take these capabilities to the next level without any extra work on your part.
