I guess I’m pretty lucky having the opportunity to cover best-selling apps on the iPhone. First it was Freeverse and its hit, Flick Fishing, and now it seems that the boys and girls at IK Multimedia will be enjoying nice bonuses this year as their GrooveMaker series of apps surpass the half a million mark in downloads.

Check out the press release below for more details:

GrooveMaker allows you to create professional full-length tracks and grooves for music compositions, ambient soundtracks, movie scores or to make music just for fun. It is so easy to use and learn that anybody can create their own songs and remixes in minutes.

GrooveMaker for iPhone/iPod Touch gives users a completely new way of making music with audio loops. Thanks to our patented “groove generator” technology, the hundreds of drums, basses, kicks, lines, pads, percussion and effects loops included in each app can be remixed in virtually limitless ways, all with one touch, to produce millions of possible groove combinations.

Grooves made in GrooveMaker can be manipulated in real-time (pan, volume, mute, solo, group and tempo) and be easily arranged by dragging and dropping to create full-length tracks. These tracks can then be saved, previewed and recalled on the iPhone/iPod Touch or exported as hi-quality .WAV files to any computer using a Wi-Fi network.

All of this is done in real-time, without ever having to stop the music and it’s like working with a real instrument! Single or multiple loops can be added, removed, and replaced without stopping the creative flow. GrooveMaker makes remixing a breeze and a totally new experience.
