Pro Tools Sketch is a free app for iPads designed to help you quickly capture musical ideas and arrangements. It comes with a large library of loops, samples, virtual instruments, and effects, and you can also import or record audio and MIDI. The Sketch work area appears as a grid of cells where you can place Audio or MIDI clips onto 16 vertical tracks. Each horizontal row can then be played together as ‘scenes’ – you can then put your scenes together to create an arrangement and choose how many times each part repeats. You can edit and mix in Sketch before exporting your audio as a WAV file, or alternatively export the whole arrangement into the free Pro Tools Intro app to finish your music.
