"After many years of lambasting smartphone users during my tenure at "The Other Site," I finally broke down and got a recent-model Android phone, and I'm appealing to the musicians in the audience for help: Which apps for music recording on Android would you recommend? Any stories, bugs, or gotchas of which we should be made aware? Features provided, number of tracks, backing tracks, effects, etc.? I'd prefer Android-specific information but discussion of music recording on iOS or other mobile platforms, heck any digital recording, would be welcome. Cost is not a factor, but stability is very important.

I've done a good amount of recording using Cubase on PCs so I'm no stranger to digital recording over all, one of the reasons why I'm asking you all is because most 'reviews' online seem untrustworthy, the two I'd think I'd like best are full of bad reviews and I need the straight dope from a technical crowd.

Thanks in advance for your stories and suggestions!"

    Highly recommend that you start here for advice from radio professionals. Though they, and the industry seem to be heavily Mac/iPhone oriented, and there's no sign of Android.

    I'm with you though on the utter uselessness of Android app reviews. My favorite was "The app hasn't finished downloading to my phone yet, but I'm sure that I'll LOVE it!"
