Check out my first composition - Sonakshi, created entirely on Xewton's Music Studio


Music Studio's latest update for the iPad was released on July 29, 2014. The new update includes 5 track, 5 send and 6 global effects along-with 4 new effects: Compressor, BitCrusher, Phaser, StereoWidener. The previous update included support for Bluetooth headphones/speakers apart from the routine bug fixes.

The app currently costs $14.99. The all-in-one sound pack costs $6.99 and is offered as an in-app purchase. A free Lite version is available as well. December's update introduced 52 new high quality symphonic instruments.
