Direct Dictaphone vs OpenDrummer - Drum Loops
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Direct Dictaphone
Record short (~45 seconds) audio notes. Want to record a thought? Just launch this app and talk. No need to click any other button. It tries to detect when you stop talking (provided you're not in an a noisy environment or far from the phone) and it records up to 45 seconds by default so it won't fill your memory card. Want to record another one? Touch the red dot, or launch it again from the phone lockscreen. This app is for recording short notes, such as "Remember to buy milk". If you want to record a long speech, don't use this app, but rather use VirtualRecorder for example. No network connection needed: notes are stored on the SD card. You can listen to notes later: press the "Menu" key in Android 2, or click on "Listen" in Android 4 action bar. Then click on a note.
OpenDrummer - Drum Loops
Collection of drum loops in various styles and tempos, designed to enhance your practice by providing solid, high-quality grooves. All loops are audio files converted from MIDI using premium soundfonts. The tempo can be adjusted by up to 10% in either direction; however,this alters the pitch, so use this feature with caution.
