  • My favorite thing so far is when you resize the keyboard, the octave text ("C3" etc.) stays the same size and doesn't stretch along with the keyboard. :)

    So many other apps, even big name ones, don't take the time for little details like that.

  • Thank's for all the first impressions.....seems it would not be the DAW for me (yet).
    Now waiting for NanoStudio 2 :p

    Great episode........ :D

  • i"m very impressed. au instruments are so easy to use and sequence. i can finally use ruismaker. xyntesizer running plectrum (shits and giggles) using link is tight. link really is great. from now on i can see myself only using bm3 and au's and hardware and auria. sick of manually scrolling my gadget audio files.

  • I'm still on the fence...

    Can anyone comment on whether (they think) the app is using native iOS views, or a generic C++ framework?

    Its using lib nui like Bm2. Why?

    Is there any reason not to sample au synths and then unload them?

    I don't really know much about sampling synths, i usually just bounce tracks once i'm happy with them but the sampling here is so easy and fast that i'm thinking it would save some cpu and ultimately battery as well

    If the synth modulates over time (or via expression controls like velocity), it might not "work" properly once sampled. For lots and lots of sounds though, I'm a big fan of this method. And sometimes, the "not working" aspects of a sampled sound make for new and interesting sounds.

    Does BM3 time stretch samples when played chromatically? That can be another +/- when sampling. If you sample a sound with a wavering filter, for example, the speed of the waver changes as you move up and down the keyboard, unless it does real-time time stretching. But again, this can be blessing or a curse, depending.

    Good stuff, thanks!

    BM3 does do time stretching and it does it really good with the samples i tested last night so that shouldn't be an issue

  • Does anyone know if it would it be possible to use BM3 to host AUs for using in a live keyboard rig doing splits and layers? And recalling presets (scenes I guess? or banks maybe?) with program changes? Like a MainStage/ableton substitute. Don't see anything about splits or restricting notes in the manual.

    Every good DAW should allow me to set at least Midi channel, Midi note range, semitone/octave, velocity range (and a few other things) per track. So, good question.

  • I’m surprised nobody said anything about sidechain.
    Yes it has it.

  • I found out where my downloads were going! When you go to the store , look at the bottom left of the screen. You will see a tiny button marked downloads, click that and the progress of your downloads speed and size is monitored. I had three of the same epic pads downloading at once and was only at eight percent of roughly half a gig into it . I stopped two of the downloads and it is downloading much better now and soon I should finally have my downloads. Let you know how it needs up soon.

    Maybe because it should be there anyway. Not worth to talk about it. >:)

    Someone needs to tell you that you sound like a petty ,prissy ,asshat. Never mind they just did. You are highly opinionated for someone who does not even use or intend to purchase. All I can say is good luck in the future continuing down the current path :o

  • Be aware that the store is extremely slow and quirky due to extreme traffic I presume. Things are both slow and glitchy right now. Had to restart a half gig download three time now ,once after nearly 250 Meg's were already done only to have to start again. Crossing fingers this current attempt goes better.

    This thread seems to be the designated 1st impression/review thread so here goes...

    Good news: To me, BeatMaker 3 joins Auria Pro and Cubasis as the "Holy Triumvirate of iOS DAW's".

    (not so) Bad News: BM3 is clearly number three in that trio and not in name only.

    Next to the professional "iOS's Pro Tools" complexity of Auria Pro and the "iOS's Cubase/Logic" MIDI & audio synergy of Cubasis, BeatMaker 3 is clearly "iOS's Ableton Live". INTUA have definitely tried to take all the successful qualities of BeatMaker 2 and expand on them with the Ableton influence and their answer to what other iOS "Production Environments" like BeatHawk, iMaschine and Gadget have brought to the table in the last few years.

    After a few hours with the app I can't say definitively if they have done enough to sway some iOS musician/producers to embrace BM3 as their sole DAW but they have certainly created an app that cats from any genre can add to their production toolbox.

    My bitches aren't deal breakers by far. I wish more of their IAP content was included in the base app because as a standalone BM3 has very little by way of instruments and samples to create with. I'm not asking for 5GB of great sound packs & instruments to be "thrown in", but a few kits outside the demo song material like a bass, electric piano and synth instrument included would've been nice.

    As a few others have said BM3 is not as intuitive as some apps. It's no critique of their GUI or feature set, the app is just chock full of great tools that will take some time to fully master. This is one of those apps where reading the manual and watching tutorials from cats like @thesoundtestroom and @jakoB_haQ will pay dividends.

    I'm going to go back and dig through it, but as for my first impressions I applaud Intua for taking the time to create such a full featured recording and composition tool that already rivals the well established contenders. There will be bugs to iron out and changes to be made but the effort put forth and patience Intua had to not just crap out a follow up to BM2 is obvious after two minutes with BM3, it is incredibly deep and I'm excited to experiment with it.

    There is a free pack in the store containing exactly what you mentioned and the quality is very high.

    Is there a way to remove a pattern on a particular scene without it being deleted from the pattern list or affecting that pattern in other scenes? This one seems to be making me confused

    This...

  • @Noirflux said:
    Anyone figure out/know if there's a way to save a chain of effects for later use?

    Closest I can recon is saving the entire bank.

    Yes. It has a remove button

  • So how do you record your perfomance in scene mode? Seems the only way is to route to a separate audio track, unless I'm missing something.

    Then yes, you have the paste scene to song option, but that's just for scenes and not performing in scene mode.

    Not a big deal I guess, if the only way is to route to audio, it just seems weird not to be able to just record without having to set up more tracks.

  • @alecsbuga said:

    Yes it has it.

    I mentioned it as one of the pros and going further routing itself is genious being like AUM but more clear workflow IMHO but I didn't dig so deep on it, sorry.
    It's great and also the possibility to do bussing with AUs like PressIt could be nuts :smiley:

    Not sure since it's a bit complex to me (I didn't use it at garageband for the same reason) but my gut says "it has it". The instrument window has a lot of options and split seems one of these.

    Check the pics and try to figure. If I can do someting tell me...

  • A proper overview video from the developers, one that isn't shot at silly angles and covered with special effects, might help those of us who haven't bought it yet work out the hell what the thing does. At the moment all I can see is a pimped up iMPC Pro that doesn't crash as much.

    It's almost like they don't want me to buy it.

    It makes beats, yo.

  • ARGGGgG!!! The store failed halfway through the five hundred megabyte download yet again! WTF? This is seriously messed up!

  • 2 simple questions guys,
    1.is it possible to monitor your audio input if recording directly into the sequencer through iPad microphone
    2. How do you audition your sounds,the little speaker icon in the bottom left,seems permanently greyed out and I have to load the to hear,what they sound like.
    Cheers !

    This channel has some interesting and well explained videos but not a review... maybe it's worth to check them. As example this talking about scenes. I hope it helps also @serosin.

  • Another failed attempt. Perhaps I will try again tomorrow. :s So far this has not been a good day as far as BM3 is concerned. It is woefully lacking content ,samples etc. and downloading additional sounds is severely broken. Oh well tomorrow is another day.

    I'm realizing now scene mode isn't for performance, just playing around with ideas.

    Beatmaker newbie question here (coming from cubasis) - I can't seem to find a way to record a pattern of midi notes from one instance of an AU like phasemaker. Is this even possible or does everything need to be sampled first rather than generated on the fly by an AU?
