# Marvelous Musician Apps iMascine Will Open Music-Making Doors for the Masses By Trend Planet | Published 2011-11-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaschine References: [trendplanet](http://www.trendplanet.com) & [native-instruments](http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/imaschine/) iMaschine is by far one of the best apps on the [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classipod)/[iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melodics-drums)/[iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piano-widget) for musicians. With the ability to sequence, sample and create incredible beats and develop complete songs, app users have perhaps an even more powerful program than you could get on a computer. Sure that is hard to believe, since there are excellent programs on computers, but when I talk about power I am referring to the ability to transfer creativity to simplistic development through music. Go boot up your computer, wait 2 minutes, now boot up your program; in that amount of time you could find yourself laying down the complete sequence of music for a feature song, developing a new hip hop beat, or finalizing the first 16 bars of an incredible electro house set. Without a doubt iMaschine is priced right at $4.99 on the app store, meaning anyone can use it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mobile Music Creation:** The trend of creating music through mobile devices is disrupting the traditional music industry and opening up new opportunities for software developers. - **Simplified Music Production:** The trend of developing music production apps that simplify the creative process is disrupting the market and creating new opportunities for developers. - **User Generated Music Content:** The trend of enabling users to create and share their own music content through mobile apps is disrupting the music industry and presenting new opportunities for software developers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Music Production Software:** The music software industry can capitalize on the trend of simplified music production and mobile music creation by developing apps that are user-friendly and accessible to a wider audience. - **Music Streaming Services:** Music streaming services can integrate user-generated music content into their platforms as a way to engage their audience and offer unique content. - **Mobile App Development:** Mobile app development companies can take advantage of the trend of user-generated music content and create apps that allow users to easily create and share their own music. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Sound Production Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-production-application.md) - [Jazzy Play-Along Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playalong-app.md) - [Affordable Music-Making Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyplay-1s.md) - [Modular Music Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-blocks.md) - [Gamified Music-Making Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-machine.md) - [AR-Fueled Musical Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minibeats.md) - [Musical Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focusbeats.md) - [Interactive Drum Learning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melodics-drums.md) - [Drum Practice Tracker Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drumbitious.md)
