If BM3 going free for a few days is going to wreck the music app market, then why would Apple give away GarageBand for free? And why isn’t everyone getting pissed at Apple for doing this? I had to pay $4.99 for GarageBand, and then Apple goes and makes it way better and starts giving it away for free! Those selfish jerks!
OMG!! I forgot about paying for GB! Let's get the pitch forks!!
I also remember that 2 weeks ago I payed for a Mocha Latte at the local coffee shop. And yesterday they were offering free Latte's to every customer as a sign of appreciation for being in business for 5 years. When I heard that, I thumbed my nose at them and walked right out offended for making me pay for a latte last week. What coffee pushers!
See what I did there
It certainly is
Probably devs got fed up with users spending their time paying apps and chatting about them instead of makin music out of those very apps, so maybe making them for free will actually fulfill the real scope aka making music.
Entitled?

I find it hard to believe that Apple the company that charged $1000 for Logic Pro 7 then reduced the price to $499 for Logic 8 then $199 when logic 9 released would do the same type of thing with GB!!!!!
I know what you mean. Since John's sadly missed music app blog went on hiatus, i have been sucked down more and more deeply into the ios crack den of the audiobus forum. Music making is now a distant memory. The only thing i live for now are updates, price drops, and the occasional nugget of wisdom from the old wise ones who were here at the very beginning of it all, ios 5. (anything before that doesn't count )..........i am truly forsaken...............
Dude.......
+1
I know.......i havn't finished anything since before Christmas!...............
I was going to say the same
Good point, you just have to look at the film industry or music business to see
Nope just pointing out the error of your initial allegory.
This forum is hilarious.
I’m just glad I could afford to support the developer.
We’re buying great things for peanuts on iOS. As hardware it would have ruined us all.
I’d like to support this very generous Dev. Can anyway suggest their favourite IAP BM3 pack to recommend for me to download? Why is it your fave pack? Thanks in advance!
Now that’s the spirit!
Depends on where you’re tastes lead, as the packs cover a lot of ground. Having said that the newest ones are my fav., “Thud Rumble” “Starkey Grit and Gloss” “MSXll The Constituents”. The 808 and 909 stuff is tasty too. I have a lot of the others and like em too...
Getting the info out of the app I noticed there’s two new ones for $1 each...looked interesting too.
Edit: bought the two new ones, they’re mini packs (4 kits in one, 3 and a subby instrument in the other), both include 4 melodic pads in the kits. Tasty.
I really think the paid model is slowly dying. It is true for software in the iOS world (Apple says: subscriptions are the way to go for all developer). Hey, and it is true for Apple devices, in my personal experience at least. Last week i got a completely free (new) iPhone 8. No contract costs or such - and not a gift by my family or friends.
Just free! Crazy?
Speaking from my personal experience this sentence (free is the new future) seem to be true. On the other hand i would have paid 10 bucks - and a lot of other people would have paid 5 bucks for BM3 as a NAMM show special.
I think i understand the idea with the bigger user base, but in my opinion free is a bit too cheap.
(i would appreciate if Apple would offer such a thing like an update subscription on yearly basis, a much better app store with much better search options, and a much better working system for iAPs - oh, and i don't think that the freemium model works for all sorts oft software)
Good luck to Intua and @mathieugarcia!! Sometimes the crazy move is the right one.
If Apple would monitor this kind of behaviour and shut down refunds for those involved it would make much more sense than to punish others who spend thousands on the AppStore and have refunded then deleted 2 or 3 apps that were unusable due to bugs.
Here it is for me:
On a base, human nature level, when I saw that BM3 was free for the next few days, after I paid full price last year, of course my asspipe cinched up a bit...
But, very quickly the fact that A) I made the decision to first day early adopt & do like to support developers
I like BM3 & what I've gotten out of it and C) if this helps iOS Music Production as a whole change minds to how powerful a format this is & provides new musicians a free DAW to learn on then it's all good...
I agree entirely with parts B and C.
and yet:
Asspipe?
I am not going to read through this entire tiresome thread, which seems to be more about insults and ranting. I’m an Auria user, I tend to like work in a regular daw. I picked up beathawk cheap because the soundpacks are great, and why not learn something new? I have barefuly touched it, except for the soundpacks. Now I’ve picked up BM3. Hopefully have some time to mess around. Got to be something there, people love it so.
My two cents worth on free? They have a steady stream of IAPs coming. That is a revenue stream, a steady one. Give away the player/recorder, hopefully get 10 times the users, and realize the income. It’s somewhat like subscription, but you don’t have to pay if you don’t want to. And people tend to buy IAP packs. So, not a bad idea. If that is indeed what they are going to do, they should have done it before selling it to a bunch of people who are now rightly pissed off.
I don’t get all the doom and gloom about iOS music making, all the time. Seems mostly healthy to me. It’s a tough market to make a good buck in, but it’s working for some folks, as they’re still here. And if you’re spending all your time hanging around here, waiting for apps to be cheap, and not making music, I’m not sure what that has to do with much of anything but yourself.
Thank you intua. A nice surprise
Relax. You're not the only one at odds with everyone on this thread.
If I was financially well off then this wouldn't of bothered me. I still think the least @mathieugarcia could of done was made the sample packs free for those two days only for the customers who actually bought the app. I on the other hand make my own sample packs because using other people's sample loops is cheating in my opinion and I enjoy creating my own samples.
Anyway, BM3 is still an awesome piece of software. It's just sad that this thread has turned into childish insults because they don't understand other people have different opinions to themselves.
GarageBand free
the price of admission an iDevice.
Hey everyone!
I will just have to thanks everyone who understand this move. Again, this is something we're just doing during NAMM. It is pretty gutsy, and I wasn't expecting so much reaction from it, to be honest.
It raised plenty of questions, some people understand it, some people hate it, some people love it. We were pretty much prepared for that.
It gives the opportunity to anyone with an iPad to start creating music. More people on board also means more understanding of what people want / don't want / expect. In the end, this will hopefully benefit everyone. Making the perfect app that suits everyone's need is impossible, but making a solid app with a concise feature set is.
Part of this event was also to get a little bit of exposure during NAMM, so the semi-pro / pro crowd can see what's possible to do on an iPad. Sure, BM3 is only "showcasing" part of that, there's plenty more apps out there with the great collection of AUv3 plugins and other DAWs available.
Let's not jump to any conclusion now, let's just enjoy the moment, and welcome everyone to join our ranks!
BeatMaker 3 will still be updated, improved, polished, that's the main goal. Plenty of exciting things to come.
Have a good day!
Cheers,
Mathieu.
GarageBand is pretty expensive, just good value because it comes with free hardware ....
It's your software and your move to make it free for several days, but as mentioned above will improvements in the apps development be funded by IAPs, not just for content.
I wonder how many people who bought BM3 in the past two weeks will be hitting the refund button and then purchasing BM3 again for free.
