To be completely honest mr Rustic, I get super bored with Daws. They were fine for the first 10 years of my computer music career. Now the lack of immediacy is showing and cannot be ignored. I buy these apps out of addiction but won't really use them unless someone asks me to remix something or I get that Daw phase.
Now the only thing for me is loopy, Samplr, Impaktor, Turnado. Hands on shit with maximum immediacy. Just like getting into that spaceship you've known all your life, close your eyes and ride. I'm too old a dog for new tricks. IOS has given me enough already.
Probably one more treasure might be loopy pro, most likely loaded onto the 10" iPad Pro with all other apps updated to suit.
BM3 is just smoke and noise to me at the moment, but that's alright.
This doesn't worry me at all. You can still select "Open Session..." and find your last official save. The auto saves are just in case the app crashes or you forget to save. ModStep does this too - they're just not so much in your face when you open the app. I'm a "you can never have too many backups" kind of guy so it only gives me comfort.
I am able to make the music I want to make with what I have already....from what I have seen BM3 will not bring anything to my particular party....
They will totaly fix it! Keep the faith brother! I am just automating Mood and Mersene in it... thought I would be all sample guy but dayum, AU synths for the win now that automations is so Gadget like. (Oh my, hear the news, new Gadget presets... pffft! Whatever!). Damn, thought I was done chasing this iOS dragon but here I am probably scraping and turning tricks for every new AU, daggumit.
That's the MonzoPro I know.
Thanks for all the details. Very interesting to read from the perspective you have as someone who used the previous version of the app.
Jeez, let's hope not
Thing is, the app hasn't crashed, I've saved before closing, and I've even removed them from the auto-save folders - so they shouldn't exist. That doesn't give me comfort, as it suggest a bug in the saving mechanism - confirmed by a save that was mucked up.
I hope so, because I love it otherwise.
I thought I'd be samples only too, but loaded Lorentz in last night and it was great to use that. Only issue I noted was the pattern kept repeating in the song, despite only being a couple of bars long in the timeline - this doesn't happen when I use samples. Got around it by adding blank space into the Lorentz pattern but that's a cludge. I'll test a few more IAA's/AU's today, to see if its specific to that app.
That's the only reason I'd refund it - I can cope with other bugs and glitches as it's a darn fine app, and will sit perfectly between iPad and desktop workflows - I'm going to heft in some Komplete audio today - but I can't cope with losing work.
Hopefully that was a one-off, and I can go back to being snowflake Monzo.
I'll buy it when they fix the bugs, even if it costs more. That way, satisfaction is assured.
I hear yah. Back in the dark ages of Cubasis I painfuly lost too much work to keep at it and just joined the AuriaPro wait team... that didn't hit the spot really either. But at least with BM3 the tools check out and it is stability and bug fixes required and not huge features so it is worth keeping the faith, reporting the bugs etc. I know nothing of Intua but I cant help but imagine a small, agile creative team about to get a big uptick in resources based on the pure vision and iOS trancending awesomeness of this tool.
What does that function do, exactly?
It gives you a pattern with nicely arranged slices at the proper length.
Haven't had any problems since, and had a good go on it today.
I think it's highly unlikely that I'd refund it at this point, it's too good to lose.
Arghhh. At this rate, you may end up convincing me this is worth the investment, time and money.
It's a tricky one - really depends on your preferred workflow and setup. Works better for me than say, Auria, as I enjoy triggering stuff from the pads - it's quicker and a bit more immediate. But for others a more traditional DAW might work better. If you like sampling though, this is the dogs doughnuts.
Funnily enough I don't normally get on with apps like this - I could never work out the pattern/scene whatnot in iSpark, iMaschine and iMPC Pro - but despite some saying this is a more complex app, I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Maybe spending twenty quid I can't afford has been an incentive to knuckle down...
I wouldn't finish songs in BM3 though, I'll be adding final touches in either Live or Logic, but BM3 will be doing most of the heavy lifting.
This pretty much says everything I wanted to say, so...the only thing I'd add is that if you don't want to buy it, I don't get why anyone would give you grief. This ain't high school. You don't need to buy the same sneakers I have to be cool.
When I started my whole iOS musical journey, I fell in love w BM2. Watts and all. It required you to kind of deconstruct the way you expected it to work and actually learn the app. Once you did, though, it held the keys to the kingdom. There want much it couldn't do long before there was an Auria or Cubasis. This feels like an evolutionary leap forward, but I can still hear yoda in the back of my head telling me to unlearn what I have learned.
I still use it daily.
For everything really.
I would kill to ha> @supadom said:
"
Get it bro
Crashes not even a worry
I just wanted to know if the interface made making music easier or more logical or USE LESS OVERALL APPS.
AS WE LIVE PERFORMERS KNOW, LESS IS LESS CHANCE FOR AN ISSUE! LOL
I could be wrong, but I still think this is more of a misunderstanding + unclear software design. It does constant auto-saves, so even if you clear out the file, there will still be more auto-saves created. In fact, even if you save the project, another auto-save is going to happen immediately, so you're still going to get a "unsaved changes will be lost" message, even if you just saved and you load another project. Poor design. It's not even checking if you really changed anything, it's just blindly assuming you did. I hope they clean that up.
But. If you ignore all that and go to the official version you saved in the file browser, you should get the right thing. If that's corrupted, then yes, there's a serious bug. The rest is just dorky design.
I could be wrong again, but I think what you had happening was the pattern was looping under Scenes control even though you were mainly working in the timeline view. I've had that happen. Patterns can be under the control of the Song or of the Scene launcher. The goofy bit is changing tabs doesn't change what is in control of an existing pattern.
If at that time you had switched to the Song tab, you would probably have seen that the pattern was grayed out. If you had touched the little "play" button at the right of the track, it would have put it back under song control and returned to normal control. That's my theory anyway. ymmv.
I bought it and I'm really impressed!
I'm also a linear type of recording guy like in Cubasis and BM3 delivers!
bingo. 2 main selling points for me are all in one (once they sort out the au stuff) and having a timeline with multiple tracks that can use link. midi is still important for me but link is a jam game changer and permits me to use as many ios devices as i can use together.
i've shelved it for now but am confident that the bugs will be resolved at which point i'll dive back in.
i never sample or beat mangle or any of that, so all of that is secondary to me, but once i'm in will probably do some of that.
Funny thing. I did think of you and your music when I started exploring scenes. I thought you might particularly be interested in it. I know you and I have fallen into our trusted setups, and I am definitely happy with mine. But couldn't resist pulling the plug on an OG like beatmaker if for no other reason than to support those guys in some small way. But I've been very impressed with it so far. might be worth another look. You'll see plenty of videos here I'm sure. I'm not sure you want to dismiss this one completely.
Hope you're doing well, btw. Its been a while.
This ain't high school. You don't need to buy the same sneakers I have to be cool.
Absolutely. I do quite well in my music making adventures using Auria Pro, Blocs Wave, Cubasis AUM, AB3 and dozens of apps in between. But I'm also keen to try new ways, and methods unfamiliar to me.
Like MonzoPro, I haven't got on too well with apps of this type in the past, yet love the quality of sounds in BeatHawk. So as the BM3 style world gets closer to the DAW area I'm used to, it becomes more attractive.
Well, I changed my mind and bought it anyway, only to have it crash on opening. But can see the potential, and will have a dabble while waiting for update. Only then will I know if I've blown a few quid, or invested wisely.
Stick with it - once you get used to the workflow (and they fix the bugs) I'm sure you'll get to love it.
Me too!
Exactly.
Not personal with the app or developers.
But, about my needs.
I rarely sample or beat mangle either, but bought it for other reasons. Now I have it I suddenly GET sampling and I'm hooked.
On workflow, it's starting to make sense. I'm way more comfortable in the sequencer now, and once I picked up a couple of tricks I'm pretty fast at setting velocity/CC.
I suppose I could continue my life in this club and secretly not tell anyone that I watched too many videos focussed on the sampler, caved in and bought and am really enjoying the immediacy of it.
I mean, who would know if I didn't tell anyone?
(Definitely keep that on a need-to-know, close-to-yer-vest, under-yer-hat, mums-the-word basis)
Same for me. BM2 actually could do the slice to pads thing, but it was cumbersome and I never really utilized it. Now with BM3, it's so simple it almost begs you to try it. And when you do, it's just like you said, a lightbulb goes off (again) and you realize everything just got a lot more personal. It's a very explore-friendly app too. I've gotten more than a little sidetracked playing with different features trying to figure them out. I'll spend "fifteen minutes" just twiddling with something, and then I realize it's 4 in the morning.
BM3 is DA BOMB!!
