"Create your own beats on the go"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Nov 14, 2011

Uloops Studio Lite is a digital audio workstation for making your own beats

This is the pro version ($9.99) of Uloops Studio, which allows you full access to all features, more instruments and editing options.
First, we liked that you can try the app without signing up, although if you want to have full access, share your your songs and many other options, you will need to create an account.

Uloops Studio Lite is basically an digital audio workstation like Reason, FL Studio or other well-known software for computers. In this case, this is an app for Android mobile devices. Of course, it isn't as complete as the computer software. However, it amazed us the amount of options, instruments, features, patterns and many other resources available to compose really good vibes.

Uloops Studio is basically based on three mainstays. First, "compose": choose the instruments, change the pitch, the volumen, adjust the equalizer, create the beat, instruments mixing, scratching, modulation, importing loops... The amount of features is just insane. Second, "Publish": once your beat is done, share it on your Uloops profile and let your contacts enjoy it. Finally, "Community": check "Today's song", "Top song", edit your artist profile, add friends, ask doubts on Forums... among many other options. Uloops has been developed to create a whole community of Uloopers constantly creating and sharing beats.

Uloops Labs, the developers of this app and its pro version, have done a great job with it. High recommendable apps fro composers.

Developer's original description available here

    I really like this app, for a while I haven't produced music due to lack of time, now I can do it comfortably on my sofa. I would like to see more loop slots on the master play list to give more depth to music with builds and breaks without worrying abo

    I love this app! The biggest flaw is that u can only record about 15 seconds worth of vocals per track. I would literally pay up to $50 for this application if the makers could make the vocal tracks as one continuos recording throughout the track rather t

    Really good quality app. The only flaw to it is I cant record longer then 14secs straight which is so annoying and makes it so much harder. Definitely should get the sorted Mr.pocketband. thats why you loose a star
