Beatmaker 2 vs 3

wingwizard

Hi, I’m doing a bit of a clean out of my iPad hoping to squeeze some iSymphonic/crudebyte stuff in its back pockets when and if a sale comes. I’m a bit stuck on beatmaker 2 and 3. I have both and would like to make space. Im not really a user of the apps at the moment, so am unfamiliar except that I really like a lot of the samples that come with bm2 and really dislike most on 3. I don’t like any dance/hip hop EDM etc stuff. Can I access the samples on 2 on 3 somehow? It might be the bm starter pack or something I wasn’t sure when I looked at the store, it all looked pretty unappealing for my preferences.

I think there may now be an easier way- Intua BM3 forum is worth looking at. When BM3 first dropped I converted 100+ BM2 kits and instruments using a file renaming software, changing the old filename to the new

BM2 still has far superior midi editing IMHO. Like NS1, of course. And indeed, some good workaday instruments and samples, as opposed to BM3’s hot pursuit of wackiness.

Omg bm3 is so unstable, it’s not fun using it ( for me) how could you guys, how?

Might be a difference among devices, I’m having no issues with stability, on iPad Pro 10.5, though I’m sure it helps I build stuff one thing a time, and use inapp sample instruments and kits as often as I use AUv3 stuff

same for me, i did lot of tracks with bm2, but bm3 is totaly unusable for my workflow... Very different apps, complete paradigm change...
