Fantasy DJ
Status: FREE
Hip Hop Edition: Click Here
Techno Edition: Click Here
Club Edition: Click Here
Description: Fantasy DJ comes in 3 versions: techno, hip hop, or club. You can mix loops, sound fx, and keyboard sounds by dragging and dropping sounds onto your mixer, and fx pad.
It is setup in a DJ format so you have 2 turntables that you can control and assign your different functions to. It takes a second to figure out but once you do you’ll have a blast mixing the samples in and out to create an original song.
The key to this one is to listen to the samples before hand so you know what you’re dealing with, and then assign all the samples to your desired triggers and mix your song!
Dubturbo Online
Status: PREMIUM
Launch It: Click Here
Description: Dubturbo is a powerful virtual studio that is easy to learn and operate, which is perfect for new producers and beat makers who want to make high quality tracks quickly.
It comes in 2 versions: Online App & Downloadable Software. Both versions give you the same functionality and quality. When you signup you gain access to both versions, and there’s a pretty sweet members area where you can access all kinds of great stuff.
The best thing about Dubturbo is it’s combination of pro quality production value and ease of use, which is why this is one of the most recommended tools that I urge new producers to check out.

Dubturbo includes a 16 track sequencer with standard functions like mute, solo, and balance. It has an awesome sampling keyboard loaded to the max with professionally engineered kits, and a really slick drum machine that makes it super easy to make sick beats in a flash.
Dubstep Studio
Status: FREE
Launch It: Click Here
Description: Dubstep Studio is a loop sequencing app that allows you to arrange sound files on a traditional music sequencing grid. All of the sounds and samples provided are for making Dubstep, and the sounds are super high grade studio quality.
This one is a bit more difficult to figure out, so if you have no experience with music production or sequencing audio files then it might take 10 or 15 minutes to get comfortable and learn the ropes.
Need Help? – Use the pull down menus at the top of the app (most people miss these) and consult the help area if you are having any troubles. You can make some really awesome tracks with this app so it’s well worth your time and effort to learn it, and the skills you pick up will transfer perfectly to your own software or studio setup in the future.
Drum Machine
Status: FREE
Launch It: Click Here
Description: If you’ve never used a drum machine before or don’t understand how beats are typically made and sequenced in a real studio or in real production software then this is a great app for teaching you how that works.
Drum Machine gives you a very simple drum sequencing machine that incorporates fx, tempo, shuffle, and a variety of samples. Simply place the sounds onto the grid, which will be indicated by the grid squares turning red, and hear your beat patterns come alive.
This is perfect for anyone who has never worked with a drum machine or beat sequencer before.
Reggaeton Mixer – ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
Status: FREE
Launch It: Click Here
**ALERT** You have to get the timing right on this one. It doesn’t auto sync (which I think is better) so you have to be sure to start each loop at the right moment!
Description: Never heard of Reggaeton? It’s a really cool and upbeat style of music that blends elements of electronic, house, carribean, latin, and peurto rican music.
This Reggaeton mixer gives you a series of beats, fx, and musical loops that can be triggered with the push of a button. You have your bass loops, drum loops, synth loops, and even some sweet one-shot horn and impact effects to trigger on the fly.
Timing is crucial on this one, but you will get the feel for the timing down quickly if you stick with it… and once you do it is massive fun!!
