Tools & Hardware

Musicians, whether amateur or professional, rely on a range of tools to create, record and share their melodies with the world. Numerous applications (such as Newzik), websites and devices have emerged to aid musicians in their creative endeavors. Here's a comprehensive guide to the tools that are indispensable to every musician, to help you in your daily music-making.

What tools do musicians need?

The modern music-making landscape offers an abundance of tools that enable musicians to bring their creativity to life. Whether through apps, websites or hardware, musicians have access to a diverse scale of resources that cater to different aspects of their musical journey. Whether you're a solo artist, a band member, a composer or a member of a classical orchestra, these tools can enhance your musical experience and help you share your art with the world.

Musicians now use numerous applications, such as Newzik, the score-reading application. Other notation and score-writing tools facilitate the creation of new scores. Some musicians will be looking for applications to reproduce the sound of certain instruments or to add effects to their music.

There are many sites that can be useful for musicians. First of all, those who play an instrument need to get inspired by listening to other musicians. So they use listening and discovery platforms. They can also use these sites to share and disseminate their own creations.

Finally, musicians have real hardware needs. For example, page-turning pedals are an invaluable tool for many musicians who play their scores on a tablet. They can turn pages without using their hands.
