    Decent is all buttoned up. Descent has all the fun because it gets to climb down a mountain. Dissent is what you do when the glee club wants to get matching red outfits but you like purple.

    I'm not buying BM3; I'm just here to quote this excellent post.

    I'd say dissent is what you do when you don't create your opinions by either opposing or conforming whatever everyone or someone else is saying, but go case-by-case with no interest towards being faithful to any one idea, not even your own ones. :*

  • Been away a couple of days and missed most of the euphoria around BM3. It seems to be the second coming for certain types but I'm not really all that sample oriented. I see it can host AUs. Does it have any other standout features besides sampling. Or is that where all the action occurs?

  • Someone enlighten me, since this phrase in bandied about frequently by a select few.

    Click Bait.

    I was under the assumption that from a business perspective it has purpose, naturally. Ideal augmentation of your marketing and SEO platform.

    However, the howls of "click bait" seem misplaced.

    WHO DECIDES WHAT IS AN INFORMATIVE & INTERESTING & ENTERTAINING THREAD TITLE OR CLICK BAIT?

    This seems to be a clever way of censoring content on this site.

    I would be very concerned as a developer if my app receives negative posts or a "CLICK BAIT" thread and nothing is done or said?

    Seems like we may have a situation of winners and losers and potential nepotism in effect? Even if unintentional of course.

    I don't understand why people who like an app feel it necessary to demonize those they disagree with them or don't like an app? Why emotionally connected to an app? I don't get it. Why have emotions about any thing like this stuff? Weird to me.

    Actually I do get it!! AHA MOMENT .....is the same tool and trick of certain political factions and groups. It is all so clear. All the same people or personality type.

    People need to stop being fucking white knights for freaking music apps.

    IF A COMPANY SELLS A PRODUCT NOT EVERYONE WILL LOVE IT.

    Weah Weah Weah................"so negative or your dislike is SO UNINFORMED"

    ELITIST MUCH?

  • edited July 2017

    @RustiK , i've seen no one here attacking people for disagreeing about an app. People here (like everywhere) might criticise other users, such as yourself, for being needlessly negative, paranoid, aggressive, or whatnot, but that has everything do with how one presents their case, and nothing with apps or elitism whatsoever.

    You literally did what I said. You demonized me.

    Not Agreeing = Negative Paranoid Aggressive

    Then made yourself out to be the voice of reason.

    Wait, so who decides whose case is worthy to be presented or done in the proper format?

    You are the judge?

    Who is?

    Elitism perfectly demonstrated.

    You literally insult me and then from your high horse call for more civility in the proper acceptable manner.

    Elitism 101

    We are from all ends of the earth, many backgrounds, many languages, many views and experiences so many people will disagree all the time.

    So funny Made my whole morning.

    Thank you

  • @RustiK
    I think you're doing a very good job in demonizing yourself, but if I can be of any help I'll gladly chip in.

  • I'm on an app buying sabbatical. Otherwise, I'd probably bite on it.

    Exactly how it is for me! First there was ipad, then there was BM3.

    for certain types

    That type is me, born and bred samplerholic. Also just a fan of amazingly executed iOS music apps. It is a stunning thing to use just for how well it does what it does.

    but I'm not really all that sample oriented.
    I see it can host AUs. Does it have any other standout features besides sampling. Or is >that where all the action occurs?

    Recording Automation of AUs direct in the AU UI is awesome.

    I don't 'make beat' type of music, and I already have enough drum machines (i.e. more than one) and I simply never sample. I used to have a minor-level Akai sampler back in the 90s but I realised that the whole sampling process, whilst it got me out of the house with a portable DAT, took far too much time versus the results. Sampling is very much like photography, I feel, but the result is smaller. Drum machines are not really where I like to spend my time. Such focus on minor details seems to be more important at the time than it will turn out to be once the whole piece is being heard by normal people.

    But, as if to contradict what I say, I did actually purchase a sampling drum machine for beat type of endeavours, the making of. I bought Beat Machine, a long time ago. Never used it in anything, but I've nothing against it. If other people who make beats seem to think this BM3 is good, I'll happily recommend it to others who may wish to make a beat or two.

    Hmmm...
    As a guy who's not like BM3-types apps, takes the time to write down 16 lines and sentences so we all really should know that he don't like this type of music app...?

    Some people seems to have too much free times to pollute all threads, whatever the thread is about...
    Please, guys, write a lot on Audiobus forum, but join the threads with apps you master or is about to buy (if others seems to like it)...

    Specific BM3 is worth more positive reviews that it has...

  • I bought it and returned it. I think it's a case of, "it isn't you, it's me," as I'm sure plenty of musicians will get great results with it. I just found it very hard to get to grips with. I own far too many apps, and I wanted to experiment with clip-launching to try to give myself a creative alternative to timeline-focussed DAWs but a couple of hours effort made me realise I should spend my time mastering the apps I'm currently using. So it's back to cubasis, which I'm sure must be getting AU automation down the line. I will be buying NS2, though, as NS1 was the first app I completed a track in after garageband.
    I may repurchase as a standalone sampler and, finally, learn to actually use a sodding sampler ;)

  • I bought BM3, so maybe I shouldn't post here. However, I just wanted to address a couple of items mentioned. Firstly, like BM2, there is a learning curve, so if you want to remain productive on iOS, there is that to take into account. Fortunately, the release of BM3 coincides with me ready for a break in creativity. Secondly, I've tried other sample based drum machines before, such as iMaschine, and the hype surrounding BM3 is the fact that it addresses all the issues with other iOS MPC wannabies/failures including BM2(starting with the file system).

    Thanks @AudioGus i'm still pretty much planted where I am but will ogle a few videos of it to see if any of what you have mentioned loosens my purse strings.

    From what i've seen so far BM3 isn't that tool.

    said something very similar earlier in this thread and agree wholeheartedly, although at the same time really appreciate how clever BM3 is on file handling and host of other things.

    I was just thinking about what Gus said about automation - that'd be right up your street. Get the parameters of a few experimental synths like iVCS3 automated and you could put together a really unique thing.

    Learning tools does get in the way, although that 'new' experience can spark inspiration. Some tools are worth the effort, some are not, for me it is the uniqueness of a tool that will get me interested enough to invest time into it.

    Not allowed to say bad things about BM3.

    Lots of “bad things” said about BM3 on this forum. Some are constructive criticism, factual accounts of bugs, or workflow inadequacies specified that might realistically be addressed by INTUA. Others are just whining about the existence of it, the excitement around it, or that it’s taking attention away from the center of the universe where the whiner exists.

    No app is right for everyone or is going to please everyone, and iOS is bound to disappoint if the expectation is that it matches a desktop system. iOS is mobile and touch screen. Is that important to a user? BM3 wants to provide a powerful sampling and beat making environment on that mobile platform. The excitement around it is that a first version, even with its early problems, brings something valuable and new to iOS. Why would so many musicians be hyping it if it didn’t do something for them? Why people want to piss in other people’s cornflakes, I don’t know. It’s even more inexplicable that they’d expect to do so free of criticism.

    I applaud the mods here for allowing discussions, positive and negative, and also respect their desire to maintain a higher level of constructive discourse.

    I will second this all day. Got a lot of flac for saying similar things in another thread.

  • Constructive criticism is good and so is almost any discussion. My personal opinion is though, that when the comments are basically to call product a crap and have no arguements to back up that claim, it is personal attack on the developers and their hard work (something you would not dare to do face to face with them).

    Unfortunately we have had plenty of those on this forum and when people are called out for it, they get all embarrassed and start to defend like a rat in a corner and go very personal. The trademark of people without valid contribution.

    All products should be up for criticism, but not peoples working honor and best effort in creating valuable products.

    On the other hand, sometimes the criticism reminds me of:

  • Well, I've had a few hours playing with this now, and I absolutely love it.

    No crashes, importing and chopping samples is a doddle, the FX are superb quality (one of the best reverbs I've heard on iOS), easy import/export, great browser, and now I've got the hang of it - good sequencer too.

    Could just be the honeymoon period, but I think me and BM3 might just make a go of it.

    Yes I think the crashes may be related to audio interfaces, that's partly what's been causing my issues. Also if you don't use midi and use it all internally it seems pretty solid.

  • edited July 2017

    Probably no for me too. It sounds like a quality app, and the workflow fits my style. And I'm a cheap bastard so I'm tempted to buy it at the intro price just to have it for a rainy day. But I joined a band about 3 months ago and all my musical time and energies are spent drumming. Definitely miss hanging out here.

    just be sure to tap twice on your timeline to drop the new pattern... yes, weird... but oh so satisfying...

    Also, If you wan't the slices in the created pattern to match the session tempo set the sequencer tempo to same tempo as the sample before creating the pattern and then reset the tempo for the session.

    This way you'll get a pattern that can be 'time stretched' rex-style :)

    Not sure what your problem is with people having their say. I'm actually veering back to being more interested in BM3 because of this thread.

    All the sycophantic stuff in other threads bounced off me, but here I'm seeing people I know to be capable of criticising something that doesn't work, instead telling us all that BM3 is worthwhile.
