Apple Releases Music Memos for iOS Devices

Apple on Wednesday unveiled Music Memos, the free iOS app that can help you create your own music. Music lovers and songwriters with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can now pick up the free iOS app from the Play Store and record acoustic guitar, piano, voice or any musical instrument as high-quality, uncompressed audio.

Users will then be able to name, tag and rate the creations and build a library of all your new song parts and riffs. Music Memos automatically detects your tempo, rhythmic feel and chords and lets you instantly hear your musical idea accompanied by a rhythm section with realistic drums and bass.

You can view the chords you’ve played, add comments and lyrics, or share the recordings with friends or with Apple Music Connect. Its also easy to take your ideas into GarageBand to add more instruments and continue building your song.
