14 DAY TRIAL // If music making is your thing, then we've got some pretty awesome news for you. LL Cool J and his very own company called Boomdizzle launched a brand new Windows 8.1 application that allows you to create music right in the Modern UI of both desktops and tablets running this new operating system.
The Windows 8-exclusive app is called Liquid MyConnect Studio and is completely optimized for the touch, meaning that everyone with a Surface can download and install it right away.
The feature lineup of this app is impressive to say the least. The description posted in the Windows Store states that Liquid MyConnect Studio comes with Skype integration, basic editing features, support for SoundCloud, Facebook sharing, tools to record vocals and options to upload MP3 and WAV files.
“Be the next pioneer in Music! Liquid MyConnect Studio is a patented collaborative virtual studio that allows two users to connect, record, remix, and edit music together in REAL-TIME, and share their originally created music over the Internet from anywhere in the world,” the full app description posted in the store reads.
“Import songs, tracks, or stems from SoundCloud, your computer, or any other music editing tool into MyConnect Studio and collaborate with other musicians with built in Skype Integration. Supports touch control and easily post your song onto Facebook.”
There's no doubt that Liquid MyConnect Studio is a very helpful addition to the Windows Store, but Windows 8 users are already provided with some very powerful music-making apps offering support for both desktops and tablets.
FL Studio Groove is one of the best choices at this point, as it comes with pretty much everything you'd ever want to mix your favorite tunes or create your own music from scratch. Liquid MyConnect Studio, however, has a main advantage: it's completely free, so you can use it without paying a cent.
FL Studio Groove, on the other hand, has a price tag of $9.99 (7.3 euros), but it also includes professional features, such as a synthesizer, keyboards, drums and percussion, effects, and sequencing. On Windows desktop, Fruity Loops is already one of the leading apps in this particular software category, so the same experience is very likely to be transferred to the modern interface as well.
Overall, this new app is at least worth a shot, especially because you don't have to pay a single cent for it, so download Liquid MyConnect Studio right now to see what it's up to.
