Give the gift of software tools that working musicians need to use everyday.
There are many options to choose from, but some of the ones that would be great choices for musicians are:
Finale Music Notation Pretty much still the Gold standard for notation, although there are are many free and other newcomer options as well.
Pro Tools – Digital audio Workspace. For audio recording, this is still top. Other options are Logic, Cubase, etc. But if you’re serious about producing, pro tools is the industry standard.
Amazing Slow Downer! Take any track and slow it down up to 200%. Great for transcribing, solos, playing along with tracks that are too fast, and other applications. Musicians have been using this software for years.
Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription – Software that I can’t live without. For creatives, these favorites like Photoshop, Premiere, Audition, Acrobat Pro, etc. are essentials. If you are running a website, video blog, or creating ebooks, these software programs are everything you need.
