Paul's Top 10

Here's quite a different top 10 from Paul:

1. iStrobeSoft - A fantastic tuner that I've even been able to use effectively in live situations.
2. TapThat - It's so basic, but so stupidly easy. Just tap the screen and you can find your tempo. I use this on musical theater gigs all the time to figure out how fast we're playing certain things so I can go home and rehearse at proper tempos.
3. Tempo - A "Dr. Beat" in iPhone form. Absolutely essential for practicing.
4. FunkBox - Fun to use in place of Tempo when the click-click-click-click starts to drive you batty.
5. Soundrop - Serving no practical use whatsoever other than I find this app to be really, really, really fun to play with. I go back to it way more often than I thought I would.
6. iReal Book - While not a music-making app per se, I've used it about a dozen times on various gigs. The ability to change charts to any key is mind-blowing, and has caused a few other musicians I know to purchase iPod Touches JUST for this app.
7. Virtuoso - A dead-simple piano app for picking out melodies. I've used this a number of times when flipping through scores, just to hear how some bass parts go while away from my instrument.
8. Nanoloop - I've used this a lot in my downtime and I feel like I've only barely scratched the surface of what it can do.
9. NanoStudio - King of kings, unquestionably.
10. iDrum Hip Hop - When Tempo and FunkBox can't quite give me the groove I need to practice a particular lick, this is where I turn. I just make up a little pattern in a matter of seconds that matches the part I'm working on. Fantastic app.

Sorry, Beatmaker...you were my first, but you've become completely irrelevant!
