I have to stay in Drambo with 3 ipads. I mean I could send a drum machine ipad to another ipad etc but its better to stay in Drambo for all reasons including syncing patterns across ipads. Not to mention Iv got multi in to multi out loopy to fx per track. So every midi track has access to a loopy and flexi sampler. 4 track wavetable synth with access to dual sequencers per track. 12 Eucldean drum tracks that switch to normal sequencing. Have samplers inside each drum apps auv3.
Thats just the best stuff.
No way any DAW is making this.
What iv noticed with many tracks but not the case now.
Is you get stobing of screen.
So its maybe you not only need ram and cpu to be good but screen needs to match what you are trying to achieve.
but the ipads are ipad 9s.
I do hope it works after bragging.
Its about 80 tracks.
About half dont have anything in yet
but an ipad 9 in a different config ( more tracks )
The ui might strobe.
Which might not be the case for another DAW or ipad pro specs ( with 80 tracks of anything )
Don’t care. NS2 is great for me and it won’t be disappearing from my iPad
Did you get dRambo to work in zenbeats?
(And how do you have the same dRambo project running across 3 iPads at the same time? Cable or app?)
Drambo works fine for me in Zenbeats.
You’ve said this before, so I’m wondering what isn’t working for you.
3 ipads.
Its a Drambo project across ipads.
Drums and bass on an ipad.
Synths on another ipad ( with samplers )
A spare 16 track sampler ipad for weird synths like noinputmixer etc.
Wouldnt really be able to use a timeline daw with multi ipads.
When I try to record to the track nothing get recorded to the auv3. In Cubasis I can record into the auv3 and play different clips from the clip launcher
I cannot do this with drambo. I don’t know why it doesn’t write to the dRambo clip but it doesn’t work for me
Is there a setting like print midi fx needed to be checked or unchecked ?
(I don’t mean scalebud2 ; that issue was fixed with midi print for another track not dRambo related .I mean dRambo just won’t accept incoming midi )
Incoming midi from where? From external hardware, the Zenbeats sequencer, the Zenbeats keyboard? I can’t try anything out today, but at least we can further clarify the question.
My external midi keyboard hardware.
(Take your time wim, thanks )
I want to start there to keep it simple
👍🏼
Just notes? Or also CC’s, pitchbend, sustain? MPE or regular midi?
Just notes
Thank you Valhalla ancestor
Logic Pro is a joy to use for me. I deleted zenbeats as personally I found it awful. Shrug. Each to their own
I have found all daws to be a major block for me in terms of making music. Over years and years this is. I open them and no matter how long I’ve been using everything is counter intuitive and I forget how to do things constantly.
Logic ipad is the first daw i just retain everything and once I find something out, it’s pretty natural. It’s so nice to use.
The following is all my personal preference and I fully get this can be wildly different. I’m a singer songwriter musician. I want the production side simplified but with complexity under the hood for me to expand into. I a, tactile i want to use a daw almost like an instrument where things feel natural.
I think workflow is incredibly subjective.
I literally HATED using:
cubasis: looks like a pre club bar ableton type gui. Just hated being in it. Everything felt stilted an unnatural workflow wise
Auria. Should be perfect for me. Wasn’t. Hated it. Crashed constantly. Awful menus. Everything counter intuitive
Logic on desktop. Hated it. Lol. Maybe more than the others. This was an older version on windows. Absolutely could not stand it ugly grey full of little text menus, i can’t really see myself wanting to use a mouse desktop type daw anymore actually. I love sliding and chucking stuff about pinching expanding etc
ableton zenbeats… i just couldn’t stand them, i don’t even understand what I’m looking at or think of music in this way, i feel confined to blocks and can’t see any kind of timeline. I understand this is my perspective coming from being a songwriter or musician or whatever and not loop based. I know ableton was huge that’s why I tried it but even though it had the timeline view it was geared up for loops view or whatever it’s called, i really really hate that. Lol uh. Also looked like a pre club bar. No thanks. Felt like i was stuck sat next to Norman cook using it desperately wanting to leave.
i would like to experiment a bit with loops but for me it would be a side thing and more a bit of fun. The modularity of it is quite limiting for me as a framework even though that can be useful within a timeline. I always think gadget is very appealing eye and ear Candy.
The only daws i got anythung out of other than them being a necessary evil in the past were n track studio when it was a very low middle tier daw in pc years ago. It was just nice looking and simple and if you have a good feel for production mixing - not sure i do anymore - you can easily put something tigether much better than someone else with teh absolute best software. And then in the end after years of trying ever daw on iPad… i just realised I like garageband. It’s the only one that was actually enjoyable rather than a chore ti use for me.
So logic has been an absolute dream. I can’t make music when I feel tense or unsettled i the process. It’s like going to a recording studio with the best equipment in the middle of Shoreditch. Might be capable, but I know I’m surrounded by a bunch of bowl cutted student hipsters and just want to go home.
I’m an n-Track Studio fanboy but I can get incredible things done on CB3 and AEM too. Logic Pro is slowly becoming an acquired taste for me. I am talking in terms of using the tools in those DAWs to create inspiration and take my songs in the direction I want them to go. I’ve used Zen but it was not my cup of tea. It is definitely a great piece of software with great potential,as is Nano2 and others. I think they’re all great and it’s great that there are so many choices out there, like cars or hamburgers or wives. I never mean any hostility to any forum members here, I’ve been on this place so long you’re all like neighbors to me, and I’m definitely not a hater of things in general. I try to follow @Michael’s example: he’s got a forum with a whole category full of posts about an app that does not use Audiobus- LP4I and never whines about it. Anyway I hope you all have a nice day and crank out some fantastic music however you do your groove. Peace out.
If you didn't find the timeline in Ableton and Zenbeats, then you really didn't look at either of them very carefully. Both offer the alternative of working timeline or clip based modes - or both.
Glad you like Logic tho.
To be fair, Zenbeats does have a timeline as well so it can function as a “normal” linear DAW. You simply just click the button and you’re there.
Funny how different these things can be for everybody. I really tried to get into Logic and there are some things I really love about it. The effects and instruments sound great. Drum Synth, Studio Horns/Strings, and the vintage instruments especially. But the interface is not for me. Even after using it for months I still can’t get the hang of it and it makes trying to create with it such a PITA for me. And the endless scrolling through all the parameters of every synth was annoying.
Cubasis 3 and Zenbeats on the other hand, work great for me and I find my way around the UI much more easily. Maybe my ADHD brain just cant do Logic lol
I love Cubasis too. I fall back on it as a very close second and it’s the most efficient on M1, whcih Zenbeats needs to get working on.
I just want to be able to record a midi drum auv3 like in Cubasis but In Zenbeats.
In Cubasis you can not only have it play automatically but you can edit/play notes during recording or even if you prefer during post recording but in Zenbeats you can’t edit the drums. You can change patterns with key triggers but that’s as far as I got with drums
If anyone knows how to make drums like from hammerhead beat scholar or pulse “record” to the piano roll of Zenbeats for editing please let me know how. Otherwise I’m just glad to have Cubasis AND Zenbeats now .
If Zenbeats makes like just a few updateS it would be so incredible I would love to just see some AU update and multi core after but yeah it’s my favorite . (That’s why I’m trying to get drums to work )
I just tried a quick test and had no problems at all.
What am I doing differently than you?
Drambo settings needed to be disengaged from host to record
And even when it did record today, it Still doesn’t play back the clip launcher . MIDI output doesn’t work , but it is fine in Cubasis …not sure what I’m doing differently or what’s different than Zenbeats either
To record midi out from a plugin to the clip launcher it has to be loaded as a MIDI Effect. One way to accomplish this is to load two instances of a plugin. One as the instrument on the track to play back the sound, and one as a MIDI Effect to generate the midi. You can then print the MIDI to the track and then disable the MIDI Effect with the little power button icon at the top-left of its window once the MIDI is recorded to prevent double playback.
You made that very clear and simple to follow so I should be able to replicate it later or tomorrow. Thanks wim
The absolute worse thing about Logic mobile right now…crash at project close 80% of the time….
Completely disagree.
Yeah, i don’t deny it with zenbeats lol. I didn’t look too hard. I just found it really off putting its focus reminded me of beatmaker. And the clip ableton thing just turns my brain off immediately. It looks like a giant mess to me, tbh the whole app looks like a load of flashing advertising boards or something to my eye
As I said, with ableton I know there’s a timeline, but the focus of the thing is clips. I really really hate ableton even thinking about its gui makes me feel a bit carsick or something. Gui is underrated
Yeah totally agree, very different for different people. Workflow definitely reflects our brains and I just feel lucky that logic ipad matches mine. I feel overwhelmed and confused in even much simpler apps like beatmaker so I don’t think it’s you or me just different ways of working. I recognise exactly what you’re saying but with different daws for me
Strangely enough I don’t really love it’s in built instruments. Some are ok. I’m very very fussy though and was disappointed with its strings after reading what peopel say, XinematiX swam and staffpad are fantastic though. I like the acoustic instruments like guitar
One thing for me is that I have no idea why you can’t use the interfaces for ethic instruments garageband has. I will be playing them using garageband as they are about a thousand times better more playable in there.
I’m more obsessing ing over drums and bass atm. I really love the logic ai but I’d like to replace the drum sounds and not sure how or what with—round robins etc. Maybe I’ll make a thread actually…
There is two modes of using Zenbeats, the clip mode and the timeline mode. I also dislike the clip mode.
Two months ago I decided to give Zenbeats a honest try after using Cubasis for 5 years. I had a little bit of frustration at first that could easily had been resolved with a updated manual. I had to ask a couple questions that Matthew the dev was super nice to answer. Now Zenbeats as became my DAW of choice.
As usual I agree with hotstrange. (And I had similar feeling to ecou)
Zenbeats, then Cubasis for me, and then Logic
Good…good. Let the Zen flow through you…just like it has for so many else….
😁

That’s interesting. Perhaps I’ll have another look. I’m not sure i have a reason. I did look on YouTube to remind myself of the timeline view and I just really dislike how it looks. I mean… to simplify.. it has a dance music aesthetic, i really hate that - i realise I’m probably in a minority here.
Think it’s cool yiu and me and everyone are finding apps we love to work on, on iOS, whatever they are, genuinely,
Out of interest, what did you make of logic compared to zenbeats? (I’m curious about what factors make people prefer different things to me, especially given we both dislike clip view)
FYI, it’s easy to re-skin Zenbeats’ UI: Settings > Interface > Color Theme. I’m not wild about the graphic design either but I’ve found the ZB UI to be the most functionally intuitive of all the DAWs I’ve used.
