With the TC-Helicon VoiceJam app for iOS, you can take your singing sessions and music performances on the road, or anywhere you bring your Apple handheld.

The VoiceJam app provides real-time audio looping and layering features, plus a live performance interface to anyone with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad (4th Generation).

VoiceJam uses the mobile device's built-in microphone, or any external microphone, to record and layer sound onto an evolving loop. You can tweak your recorded loops by layering new audio ideas in sync with older ideas that gradually fade away; you can also copy and swap loops in and out of six alternate loop locations in order to get a complex musical structure that develops over time. When you are done doing your VoiceJam work, you can upload a final performance recording from your iPhone to the SoundCloud online music network to share with others.

In addition to looping and layering capabilities, VoiceJam features an audio-narrated, interactive tutorial that provides a step-by-step guide, giving real-time interactive demonstrations of how to start jamming with VoiceJam’s creative interface. VoiceJam also comes with its own "performance recorder," in which everything coming into the microphone and all looping actions are recorded and saved into an exportable audio recording. These performance recordings can be uploaded to SoundCloud as well.

About the new app, TC-Helicon's product manager, Tom Lang, says, "Traditional audio loopers constrain you to a single loop. While they often make it easy to build up a great phrase with each new layer, they never make it easy to go anywhere with the original idea. VoiceJam encourages you to expand your range of vocal capabilities, giving you the tools to create a complete musical performance with all the dramatic structure of a fully mixed composition."

• Universal app with full-screen iPad support
• Audio step-by-step tutorial to take users through all the features
• Powerful audio looper
