The Audiobus Forum is now the Loopy Pro Forum!
In case you didn't see the announcement thread, I have some big news: Audiobus – the app – is going to a new home. Francesco and Andrea are developers and musicians who are keen to pursue Audiobus’ further potential, keep it updated and enhance the experience for users old and new – and unlike me, they have the resources to do so! They’re full of ideas and energy, and I am confident that Audiobus will be in good hands.
The Audiobus Forum, however, is staying right here with me. After some consultation with the community here about what to do, I've decided to rename it to the Loopy Pro Forum, at forum.loopypro.com.
It has a new name and new colours, but otherwise, it's the same place, and nothing else will change.
Cheers,
Michael

yeah more or less i understand it.. i just can’t helo myself making fun of it ..
it’s just music.. all is music .. i respect all music makers, even those who make mistake and think they are just beatmakers 🤣🤣
@dendy: you can of course prefer whatever words you like—and that doesn’t make other people’s preferences worse. For some people (lots and lots of people), “beats” is a meaningful term…nothing wrong with that.
Making 'music' is all about having fun and it really helps to be funny at times too
aye, genre specific terms make a mess of language. Best to stick to purely cromulent terms.
Anyone on the beta marks out of ten for BAM. Compared to Drambo, Zenbeats BM3, Grooverider etc ?
The app is undergoing a log of development and who knows exactly where it will go. In my opinion, it isn’t really fair/reasonable to be making comparisons/judgements at this stage. Also, not cool to the devs..who are being attentive to the feedback they are getting from the people that are using it.
and most crucial question of all ..
Will it be really usable for making music, or just for making beats ?
wait !!! now this is for me eye opening moment … so all those people who are talking about “808 bass” are actually talking just about distorted sine, and not really about TR808 kick ????
So, the general resolution is to rename BAM into MAB?! And everyone will be happy. Because making beats is not trendy anymore. 😅 I need to adapt asap.
Or just "M"
It's just language changing. The older generations will always complain about the destruction of language, just as our parents and grand-parents did when we were young.
i make Beats with my paintrbush (literally recording sound of it tapping stuff). but i make Music with the paint.
...just to keep messing with these silly words. Happy Creating, ALL.
Guessing from the description that the Mac/Windows version is not standalone i.e. plugin only?
Will definitely get the iOS version but not sure abt the pc version, and would be more inclined to do so if it's also standalone.
I’ve always hated it when people say making beats isn’t real music. Same as when you see those people say EDM is nothing but pressing a single button on a laptop. I do get the inclusive language but why couldn’t they say something like “BAM is perfect for every workflow whether you’re making beats or pop” something that’s inclusive but doesn’t seem like it’s differentiating beats and “real music”.
Or are we being too critical? Lol
Regardless this seems like a fantastic app and I think Imaginando are a great group of devs so I have faith in it.
I don’t care what the ad says, I’ll buy anything that falls into the groovebox category.
That 'pressing a single button' criticism has been around since synths became more popular in music, back in the 80's. I heard it from many at that time. Wasn’t true then and not really true now, either (Although using nothing but construction kits can get pretty close).
And while you're right that the descriptive copy could be improved, the potential issue is still baked into the name. BAM is actually probably a good name for a groovebox dedicated to Hip-Hop etc. But once the acronym is expanded ‘Beatmaker And Musicmaker' is pretty clumsy imo.
Will that be important in the grand scheme of things? Who knows? Are we being too critical? Perhaps But only about what will hopefully turn out to be insignificant. The actual app is a separate discussion, and should be judged on its own terms..
Still think it was worth discussing. Were I a developer, I'd think such feedback was important.
I agree, I was mostly just asking that in jest.
But yeah the full expanded name isn’t perfect. I think just BAM with no acronym would be a great name. And then mention the uses in the ad but perhaps without differentiating the 2 and just describing what it can do.
‘Making beats’ is language that is natural and meaningful to a whole group of music makers. The developer is just looking to let them know about this app as well because I expect they will love it. It’s totally valid terminology and nothing new. My mates and I used to call each other ‘beat heads’ 30 years ago because we were always hunting for the dopest drum breaks and sample fodder and underground hiphop tunes. I love making beats. Tracks that make you nod your head. Music to rhyme over. Perfect. I also love making electro. And techno. And a bit of ambient.
All good! Use whatever descriptions you want to and enjoy 😛
a beat is music.
Music is not necessarily a beat.
You seem to be in agreement that 'beats' is both valid terminology and also not distinct from music.
Absolutely. The distinction in this app is simply a helpful sign post for for a group of potential customers IMO.
No for now. Who knows in the future?
Yes, AUv3 will be supported on iOS. Plugin hosting on desktop could be a future improvement. We are focusing on the standalone and plugin side of it for now.
Since the song engine is based on the LK song engine this comes out of the box but that is something we haven't been able to fully test so far.
Count with at least two more months!
Desktop pre orders is for desktop only. Hopefully there will be an iOS pre order phase too. To be announced.
Count with at least two more months.
Why don't you get in the beta instead?
