Ocarina ♥

Have u ever wanted to try harmonica and creating your own rhythm?
OCARINA will be your favorite music app.
It is unique, fantastic and depends all on you.

Ocarina looks simple as it works.
The whole app only contains 4 buttons/touches for you to press while blowing in the mic (of your phone) to create music.


When you click on the background, there will be some options appeared. 
It has record, play, archive and mail option. You can record your own playing, archive to save it and mail to share it with your friends J
That’s it !!! Now go to some tutorials ♥ It's rules are very simple 
  • To make music, you must always blow gently in the mic.
  • To control the rhythm, you need to press the buttons. You can press one up to four buttons. You can play it freely as you like                    
Ready for some actionss???? 
This is me playing Twinkle, Twinkle little star <3

   After watching this, download the app !! It is super  easy, super relaxing and no other details, rules to  follow xD Surprise your friends ♥

What is your favorite color?
Do you like colorful app? (Like a music instrument?) 
Today I'll tell you an app that is especially colorful ♥ The mixture of sounds, the patterns now look so nice, so attractive but also easy to play and produces amazing sounds.
And when you play, its appearance looks even better.



I did try to play when I have just downloaded the app. I was so surprised: every single sound/ music that I created was so beautiful even that I pressed them randomly.
It has 15 lines of color (Green, red, yellow,… ) Every line has 10 buttons. Each button creates different sound. There are “up” and “down” arrows for you to reach all the lines of color.
As you can see, there is a:
  • “REC” symbol – for you to record.
  • "Settings" symbol - to change the tempo, the volume, the sound of the instruments (The original one was piano),… and Share when you finished your recordings.





You can be very creative because everything you create will always sounds good! Trust me! That's the magical thing of this app.

Wanna listen to what I have done?


P/s: I did it RANDOMLYYYY.

STARMAKER

Most of us love singing.
But not everyone sings well.
But why don't enjoy your life singing what you like rather than comparing voices?
Today I will introduce Starmaker - a new app that I have found.

It is for singing, training and battling with friends as well.

There are tons of songs for you to choose, to sing, to auto-tune and to record urselves.









This is the main screen where you can choose songs.

The app works by you singing everyday to collect coins, then you will use those coins to purchase a new song.

I had 114 and I bought "Grenade"
Now, let's go and check how Grenade is ♥





This is where you can choose to sing or to battle. 
If you chose "Sing", u will sing and will be recorded ur own voice.
















But If you choose to Battle, this is your screen! You and another player online will battle. 

















But in any choices you chose, the app will always stay the same with its functions. 

There's an icon on the left that moves up and down due to the high or low notes that you sing.

When u hit the right note of the song, the straight lines which represent the notes will turn green. If not, nothing will be changed.



Like u see, there are also Stars upon the song.
It ranks your voices as you hit notes

If u ever wanted to take a rest, press "Pause".
If you want to sing with the singer's voice, turn the "Guide Vocals" volume up. If you just want to record ur voice, then turn it off.

Having the singer's voice will make you feel much more confident (as least for me) :))
 This is the screen of the song that I have sung. (Btw I only sang half of the songgg)
 As u can see, It ranks my singing and let me hear what I have sung.
After all of that, I can share it with my friends, save the results and then try to sing better to compete with them???


 This app is fun :))
Download and enjoy it ♥

4 chords

Have u ever tried to play and sing with your instrument? (Guitar, piano,..)
If yes, I'm sure that there are SONGS that are so difficult to play because they have so many hard chords. 
For this week (actually last week), I'll introduce you an app that helps you to play guitar with only 4 chords !
Its name is "Four Chords"

It will show you how to press the chords that are needed, what strum is used and when to change into another chord xD. Let's get started !


As you see, in My Songbook, I have downloaded "Happy Birthday To You". I'll do it as an example.
Pressing 'Play'on the song will lead you to another screen below.

C/ G/ F are chords.
The chords are shown for you and even the strum if you pressed on 'Strumming'
If everything was then ready, you can now "Let's Go"
This is where the fun begins ♥♥







Below are the next screen. This is where you can play the song and record it or even Pause when you need to stop.

On this, the 'Light' will be your guider :) When it moves to a chord, you play that chord. When it moves to the words, you sing those words. Pretty easy, right?
On the right side, there are buttons of chords. If you didn't have a guitar to play, you can use them to pretend the guitar's sound.
There are many choices on the 'Rhythm' or "Melody" base on what you like.
This is an example of how it works ♥ Enjoy :D

RAP

Hi guys
My topic this week is gonna be RAP MUSIC
I think most of you know what rapping is. For wikipedia, it defines rap as "spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics"
Rap is, you, saying the things that you wanna say.

Lately, I have found a really cool app called "Autorap".
Of course I don't know how to rap, but with this application,  I can create my own rap music ♥
It is also fun to play it with your friends. I have tried and we all loved it :D




This is its look.

There are a lot of background music that we can choose.
After choosing, we can either record our own rap orrrr just press "TALK" - We will record our talking and it will then be put into the music that we have chosen xD. Cool????? YES.

This is me recording in TALK option. Mine is for fun with friends but you can do so much betterr. TRYY

             "Hello I'm Susan from grade 10. I love music. This is  my favourite application. I hope you guys like it. Bye bye" Download and enjoy ♥

DRUM PADS 24

Hiiiiiiiii
Today I wanna talk about a really cool app that I have found.
There are tons of it but I think 'Drum pads 24' is absolutely the best for beginners like me.
I create beats and rhythms
I can be creative in my music
I can always change the style of sound that I wanna play
And  I can even record them (can you see the rec button??? )


This is a screenshot of DP24 on my iPad but you can still download it for your Android devices in Google Play.
It looks simple as it works. The rhythm is produced when you click on the pads.
You can be very creative, no one will have the same rhythm like yours.
Besides 'Record', there is a 'Repeat' button for any pads that you want them keep playing for a while. You can 'Repeat' many pads, but clicking stop will stop all.
There is also Scene A and Scene B for every sets of sound. You can download those sets by clicking at the left corner button and choose Open Presets (for iPad only). Unfortunately, iPhone only has 1 original set of sound.

And I am playing that.

Are you interested in seeing me playing DP24?
This is what I have just learnt from a friend.
I hope you guys will like ittt





Download DP24 if you want to create music and relax ♥ 
Thanks for reading and watching :D
