Beatmaker 2 headaches

    @samu yes agree its fiddly, here what I find useful after many hours of using BM2
    Always scrolling or navigating with two fingers
    Zooming right into the selection
    Using the <> arrows on the bottom right to skip to the end points.

    Thanks, thinking of the arrows, it would be great if it was possible to quickly expand the selection from the selected point to beginning or end of sample to make trimming a lot faster but i do miss the selection 'handles', I think they just forgot to implement it in the sample editor as they are already present in loop-editor and chop-editor :)

    Since Beatmaker 3 is on the way i doubt we'll see any more improvements being implemented in Beatmaker 2...

    yeah patiently waiting too. BM2 was a massive jump from BM and intua havent really put a foot wrong, so here's hoping for BM3!

    I'll add one of my 'headaches' concerning Beatmaker 2.

    It's more like really frustrating that the Sample editor in beat maker lacks 'handles'(similar to those when editing loop points or setting chops) to adjust the selection when editing samples. It's way too easy to loose the selection when trying to adjust the start or end point, especially when zooming in our out in the sample by pinching with is really needed for precise trimming...

    I have given up on iMPC Pro because it's inability to handle external USB Audio Devices properly making it practically useless for sampling external sources.

    Only time will tell if BM3 will be the ultimate sampling workstation on iOS.
    (Or will i have to resort to Korg Electribe Sampler when it comes out...).

    I've tried a few USB Audio devices for sampling into iMPC Pro. So far the only one that worked properly was the Behringer UCA-222. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?gclid=CMi2gdXh18ECFdHm7AodOTgAfA&is=REG&sku=616367&Q=&O=&A=details

    I'm running iOS8.1 and my USB Audio-Interface is the Behringer UCA-202 :)
    With Beatmaker 2 (and most other sampling apps) it works perfectly, no problems at all.

    I can 'sample' with iMPC Pro (after I unplug and replug of the device) but with no monitoring (Luckily there is a switch on the interface for direct monitoring). It's the lack of Q & A at Retronyms that causes more headaches than music production and i seriously doubt if they even use their own apps for more than making some demo-videos... (Even the AudioCopy from Retronyms is unable to record from USB-Devices, it defaults to using the built in microphone even when USB-Device it attached...).

    For now Beatmaker 2 is for me the best sampling workstation available for the iOS. On the computer it's hard to beat Renoise...

    @e
    +1 for the Renoise shout out. Renoise 3 is the business.

    I've had the same luck you describe with BM2, its an easy show, all the time including 8.1. For me the new challenger/closest competition for BM2 is MultitrackStudio for iPad. The sampling part of this workstation was fully in place once the dev added sample to pads, already had a great recorder, direct Audioshare, General Pasteboard (and AudioCopy) sharing to load wav, and shit-hot wav editing,

    As an aside, full on iOS DAW stuff now includes amazing virtual midi in and out...dev dude G Bremmers really got his AB on, in this update. (Loving a great iOS DAW always means falling in love with Audiobus all over again. Hello again and thanks again to Sebastian and Michael).

    Yeah the lack of QA was really evident when the initial iMPC Pro release didn't work with their own Tabletop app. and the midi controller velocity didn't work at all. Not to mention missing features such as project export which worked fine on the non-pro version. The bad part is that we can't really go back to the old version because it was abandoned in favor of the new version before critical fixes were completed(:
