"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!"

    Tablets aren't a different story: The difference between a "tablet" and a "phone" is the size of the screen, and the radios equipped (and sometimes, not even that). The software is the same. Connectivity also tends to be equal between tablets and phones: Both types of devices have various wired outputs (stereo analog, HDMI), 802.11, Bluetooth, hit-or-miss USB OTG, and a microphone input for a headset.

    Any solution that works on a tablet is adaptable to work on a similar phone.

    Plenty of add-on base options for the iPad to give you input ports, with apps to work with said add-ons.

      Look up at the top of the page. See the line that says "Android"?
