  • @Audiojunkie I see, iPad2 here as well :) I've been trying to take advantage of the features within Cubasis with each new update since release, especially IAA effects lately, but it always seems to require elaborate workarounds to use my BM2 instruments. And right when I think that I've got everything right where I want it, something becomes unstable in Cubasis. Track freezing in particular has been an issue. Finally it just seems so much easier to work within BM2. But I hope that others are able to make a discovery that I missed. It would be ideal to have great samplers and great effects all working together. Please don't give up due to this post lol! I'm sure that I missed something :))

  • Awesome, thx! Gonna try to build some kits and get this into the set this weekend.

    I wonder how long we'll have to wait for BeatMaker 3. Intua could literally just take BM2, give it a slick interface that's something like a mashup of iMPC Pro and Cubasis, and call it BeatMaker 3 and lots of people would be happy.

    Whatever Intua does with BM3, I'm sure it'll raise the bar once again. I'm looking forward to seeing how NanoStudio 2 turns out as well.

    The only thing I want is iaa fx in the fx slot and user deleting of bloat. I'd pay the full price just for that. Come on Intua!

    cough and resampling cough

    Someone has mentioned that the iMPC (old version) samples are great.

    Would it be difficult to move them into BM2? Anyone tried? I'm guessing ifunbox would be necessary.

    Super easy. take them out with ifunbox and just stick them in the user folder in BM2. When you do it with a PC it is also easier to edit all of the samples you're not likely to use.

  • "What I am most hoping to see in BM3 is that they did not sacrifice existing features due to confused users and because things like iMPCP sell just as well without them. Also hoping that a new graphical interface isn't unnecessarily CPU/RAM hungry. I'm very happy with BM2 and my workflow is such that I don't even see the interface now. I just write and I like that."

    Yeah well I've been saying this for years now..

    Sounds like some akai thinking there. Style over substance.

  • Can I import an audio file into the timeline of BM2? Say an accapella to do some remixing? I can do it in music studio but I like the workflow of BM2 better. Maybe I am just over looking it.

    Add an audio track to your project, press the + button of that track in your track view, and it will offer "import sample" as an option. Press that and it'll take you to the file system. If you don't already have the clip you want in your content, you have to go to the desktop icon back on the home page, and use paste or the other options for import...
    BM3 could use a direct link from timeline to say Audioshare (the way MultitrackStudio does), results in fewer steps, and Audioshares sweet filesystem becomes the studio apps filesystem.
    Don't get me wrong, I still love me some BM2

    If you have it in your ipad you can paste it by clicking on the computer icon - pasteboard - ios to bm2. You'll need to copy it first with whatever software the file is associated. Once you've pasted it into the bm2 press + symbol next to the audio track you want it imported to and press import sample which will take you into the file browser. Look for your pasted file there. Otherwise you can use ifunbox or iTunes to put the file into the user folder of bm2.

  • The + worked. Thanks everyone. I watched a series of videos that inspired me. The videos are for FL studio but the concept can be translated into any workflow. Who knows if I remix a song I may do a tutorial.

    I'm not saying they should do that, only that they could, seeing that most people's complaints about BM2 are about its UI. BM2 has plenty of substance, IMO.

    Hopefully BM3 delivers on features and interface.

  • Whoa... Reading this was awesome! You guys touched good topics.
    And re-watching Tim's video helped a lot. I've been thinking about getting MTDaw for my 16gb iPad 2 (since it has almost no space left anymore), but deleting the factory samples from BM2 may do it. And on my iTouch I'll just keep the it intact + external libraries.

  • Have played around with this again for a few days, I have to say I remain unimpressed. The pads seem to be very laggy and unresponsive. It does have great features once you get past the UI but it's not for me.

  • Make sure you didn't have note repeat on, as far as the pads go.

    A question. My iPad Air display seems to die (red lines trough the display) and i have a meet in an apple store at the weekend. My question now, how can i get my 20GB sample library out of BeatMaker 2. I'm not sure if a backup do this stuff. I never tryed it. Since it's my whole iOS music creationed stuff i will not lose it (again). I have to delete all my data if it goes to repair. Also a whole backup with 128GB will needs a few days for me :O. Can i copy things via i-fun box to my Mac? I never used such programs. I just need the BeatMaker 2 content. Everything else can be deleted.

  • not sure if this works on Mac....

    I'm finding that using Dropbox pretty pain free w/BMII.

  • Your sample library should live in your user folder. Just plug it into ifunbox and copy all of your content. I don't think copying 20gb of stuff via the wifi is the best idea. It will definitely be slower than wired. You're right not to trust the back up. The last time I restored from a backup I lost all of my old bm2 stuff.

  • @Thomas: I don't think i can drop 20GB there and it would take 2-3 days with my net :(
    @DaveMagoo: I will try that.

    If it will not work for me it's perhaps a sign to delete all my old crap and start again from zero ;)

  • I'm having an issue here :
    when I choose disk streaming on sampler ,the samples can't be reversed .
    Is this normal due to disk streaming?

  • yep that's normal

  • @CalCutta said:

    A work-around is to reverse the sample on edit mode ,but I'd prefer the reverse feuture to be 'greyd out' when disk streaming is enabled. Thanks @CalCutta

  • My last song makes completely in BM2 and mastered in Auria:

  • Sinapsya I really like that! The clarity listening with apple headphones sounds excellent. What synth/sampler did you use?

  • @Synapsya pretty stuff. Just need to find yourself a young David Byrne to sing on it and a horn section...
