“Back in the day, those who dreamed of playing Carnegie Hall or going on international stadium tours had to start their quest by buying time at expensive recording studios to make demos. There were home-recording setups, but if you wanted something that sounded professional, you had to pay the price,” Mike Murphy writes for Quartz. “Then came desktop software like ProTools that let anyone make decent recordings at home. After that, Apple launched GarageBand, a free program that shipped on every Mac, opening up music making to anyone who could afford a laptop. Now, Apple appears to be upending the recording industry again with Music Memos, a new app that lets anyone with an iPhone easily record songs wherever they are.”
“Music Memos can be set to listen and automatically start recording when it hears someone making music, and stop when they stop,” Murphy writes. “The app can also listen to what you’ve recorded, figure out the arrangement of the music, and automatically add in bass lines and drums to fill out the song.”
