Bah. PC nonsense, you know full well that the developer meant no offence.

How does it compare to Drum Perfect, sound-wise?

DrumPerfect Pro has a Jazz Session extra pack which cost about 5 USD. And it sounds great for everyone who likes a brushes and jazzy drums. Also you could find in the mentioned pack brilliant set of loops so you don't need to waste time on programming drum track that you need. BUT DPP lets you export midi and audio, add wide range of FX and more and more and more... So, I think DPP is a more powerful app then Soft Drummer.

But if you don't have DPP, or if you need to make it quick and easy, and don't need "pro" features, so Soft Drummer is a great choice!

Somewhat damning with faint praise there I would go with the separate but equal line...

I like all Luizes apps! I use Funk Drummer every day because it is very easy way to find a good drum line for improvisation. But IMVHO DrumPerfect Pro has a more powerful set of features, and it's another level of control. Also I'm sure that there are few people who really needs such level. And I'm going to buy Soft Drummer because it looks like a great app for everyone who likes brushes (I like em so much)!

More than two variations coexist on the multifaceted gender spectrum.

Inclusive speech is not only considerate, kind, friendly and a welcome relief from the sadly popular unpleasant alternatives, it's also a serious money earner.

I did look at the app on the Store but the excluding language sickened me enough to keep me off the videos. I prefer to absent myself from places/apps/demographics where I'm unwelcome.

"Forum Audiobussers" works fine for me.

Translation for above drivel.
"Look at me, look at me!"

They are just generationalist and nomenclatic.

Good Morning gentlemen.

It must be nice to feel free/wealthy enough to be able to casually reduce your customer base by excluding entire demograaphics.

I guess my custom is of little interest to you. Oh well.

I have had many, many interactions with Luis through my time as an iOS music app blogger. I have found him to be kind, generous and supportive. Your over-reaction to his post is both unfair and unfortunate.

I would urge you to reconsider your rash assessment of Luis, based on his initial post in this thread.

I thought the inclusive /non-inclusive talk in this thread was all about sample import and export, instead I find out it's just speech pandering to humans rather than beat machines again, how effing drab.

Maybe I'm a crazy optimist, but I like to think that Mr Martinez has learned from your chiding of his slip-up. It probably will not happen again. We are all subject to carelessness AND changing.
He really does develop first class tools. Please do not hinder your own creativity by refusing to utilize them. Thanks.

Lets also be tolerant of those with slightly outdated cultural OSes, such as myself apparently still running Generic North American Internet Troll 2006.

I can't really say one against the other, but I can tell you it sounds very good. But the main difference is that Luis's apps make it so easy to dial up a beat (which you edit as much or as little as you want) while Drum Perfect I find a bit of a struggle to get things set up and editing is much more long winded. Plus Luis's apps will produce beats that I just would not produce by myself.

Thank you for this answer!

I've got DPP but though it sounds good, can't make tail nor head of him.

This feller sounds superb in Doug's vid but I fear this might be another head scratcher for me.

Nah. It's really not. DPP is a piece of lovely, but hard for many of us to get going with; this thing is easy in and easy out.

kobamoto

out of all the types of music apps, drums need import and export the most, especially on an iPad or iPhone.

Oh, that is so typical. The whole world doesn’t use that one dominant hand only, what about us sinistral people?

Oh ok I like easy, I might have a shoofty and check out a few vids, though I've been saying that I have enough drum apps for at least the last two years...

Not tonight though, this evening's already been earmarked for pub related shenanigans

Maybe I'm a crazy optimist, but I like to think that Mr Audiobusforumpopulation would have had less interest in reproducing and further breaking the issue I pointed out, and more interest in taking note of and improving it.

And yet..

If "we" are all subject to changing, then awesome, let's see less of

..... "Lets all pile on the person who is different from us and says so out loud, and run them out of the forum, wheeee!"

and more

..... "Members of all demographics belong here and we welcome all input including when we make mistakes"

@JeffChasteen said:

My creativity grows and evolves and creates regardless of this tool or that.

The tools, on the other hand, depend entirely on creators choosing to direct their support this way or that.

I may need the tools, but the tools need me more.

For Pete's sake, no one is doing this. Nobody is interested in running you out of the forum. We are merely recommending that you give Mr. Martinez a little slack for an honest faux pas. He's a good guy, and you're not giving him the chance, based on one salutation.

Is there any Audiobus remote functionality?

AudioGus

Sorry, I should clarify. If at times I use the word 'we' I am referring to the semi-meticular 'they' (including myself) as not to be de-inclusive of the 'they' meaning you all(s). What I am saying is I never intend to go passive non-collective on anybody.

It's hard being progressive but I will be the first in line for my Borg chip auto-updates, this I assure you and by that I mean this I assure you/we/they/us/ya'll. (Think I am getting the hang of this now.)

fjcblanco

I think the main difference is to get the most from DPP requires intermediate or advanced drumming knowledge.

oat_phipps

You're a person. I hope the responses showed you that what you think is indignity is possibly an overreaction on your part, because all the users who responded to your issue were level-headed and reasonable, save for one or two comments that could be construed as light-hearted jabs.

On my own separate note, screw political correctness.

Anyway, oooh soft drums! I only have the Brazilian machine, but sounds excellent as usual. I will probably go ahead and make my 'next week's purchase' today as a result.

Mr Martinez makes really lovely apps, and is a good bloke. If you don't want to use them because of a ridiculous perceived sleight, nobody gives a toss.

Listen, be sure, you DO have too many drum apps. Far too many. And you don't need this one. But it would probably get some use. Now if we could only trade in the fucktric metron of others we have that do not....

Personal "good"ness has no relevance to my points here, I refer solely to people's own word choices.

"Good"ness is no vaccine against mis-stepping. To me, a useful measure of "good"ness is how the mis-steps are managed afterwards. So far, the only info I have is in the content from a number of others responding in Mr Martinez' name, including yourself. I have yet to decide if these responses reflect Mr Martinez' "good"ness accurately.

My slack/chances are not an on-demand service, they are given solely by me, solely at my own choosing.

Based on zero input from me, Mr Martinez gave me neither "slack" nor any "chance", whatsoever. So I noted it.

And yet in this particular exchange, he's the one who wants something from me, not the other way around.

So I am puzzled.

If those intending to defend against ... my note? ... are hindering more than helping, I hope Mr Martinez weighs in to clarify.
