BeatMaker 3 for Positive User Reviews
✓ WOW!!!Was thinking about buying the MPC Live but when I heard about this app I immediately changed my mind! The sampler is so powerful and real easy to use! Now the only thing that I would wish they would do is have the ability to go up or down on the notes in the piano roll and change octaves and also have another transport somewhere so when you going thru samples you can still play and stop your song. Other then that, this app is powerful for music production and I would highly recommend this app for any musician that doe’s production!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Amazing DAWThis is like someone mashed together Ableton live and maschine. Great price for what is a fully fledged DAW. Awesome sampling options and an easy to use sequencer are the highlights. Maybe more included sounds would be good but the expand ability is infinite if you use other plugins and your own samples..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Love!I love this app. I haven't had this much fun making music since I was first introduced to Renoise. Love love love!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Feature request : Multi sampler instrumentDear Developers of Beatmaker 3 would it be possible to have a Multi sampler instrument created in The next Beatmaker update ? The multi sampler would have these features . feature number (1) sample mapping view where you can use your own samples map them to multiple keys and zones number (2) edit view where you can edit and customize your samples and waves Number (3) recorder where you can record from the microphone or inter App Audio Number (4) multi velocity sensitive pads and keys number (5 ) Multi sampler instrument Folders where you can create name and save the instrument or drum kit you have made Number (6) have all instrument type categories number (7) sampler import view where you can import samples from drop box audio share audio copy the files App even instruments and samples from the web browser like SFZ SF2 EXS and even multi sample files.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Well Done!Small learning curve, but easy to pick up if you have ever worked with any Sampler/Daw in the past. Seems to play well with others. File System is a bit confusing but not a dealbreaker. If you want to sample buy this now. Running smoothly on new 9.7” pad!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ All around greatGreat software, fuzz from previous review has since disappeared. No problems ever with this anymore no crashing as others have experienced however there is a new issue and it refers to volume buttons on iPad Pro 2018, I cannot control the volume with the actual iPad buttons anymore since updating to iPadOS, no problem with it on my 2019 iPad Air, just this device which contains the vast majority of my projects. Would love to hear a fix..Version: 3.0.12
✓ GreatSo solid now! Automation works great! You can slice and merge patterns with ease now! Once it can maintain sync via link and midi clock it will be amazing(er)..Version: 3.0.15
✓ Love it.Been making beats on it and I love it. Feel like switching from fl studio and moving to making beats on my iPad. I only wish that I can create midi notes on free will instead of having to record my self, post editing notes. Also if you could allow maybe ghost notes for the other patterns that way I could tell what key I’m in it would really be a great help. Love what you did with this app. Will continue to support it. Great job..Version: 3.0.14
✓ Game changer for producersThis app has been a game changer for me, in that making beats has become so much more accessible. I don’t need to turn on my computer to start producing - I can spend a few minutes creating a drum pattern before going to bed, then go back to it and add a bass line the next day while I’m on the go. Also, if you like to make sample-based music, the sampling algorithm in this app is better than some of the DAWs I’ve used in the past..Version: 3.0.15
✓ The Real DealThis app has so much thought put into it. They do not skimp on features or leave too much to wish for. It is a solid version of a MPC style workstation to the point where the actual hardware seems to be playing catch up. We waited quite a bit for version 3 but it was worth it because while other major brand competitors gave us a stripped down version of their hardware operating systems, Intua took their time to deliver us all the specs a user of this platform would dream to have on their iPad. I really appreciate their hard work..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Solid all rounderGreat app all round, has some stability issues which can be a pain. Having proper aux send channels so you can route anything through would be really handy. Some issues recording midi such as pad chords to midi etc... and could do with more regular updates. really good app, once you know you’re way around. Recommend highly.Version: 3.0.13
✓ DAW made for the touch interfaceThis app is pretty spectacular...where to begin. After dragging my feet over purchasing BM3 for weeks, I finally pulled the trigger and couldn’t be more thrilled. Initial impressions: 1. Speed: this app is fast. I’ve noticed significantly less lag compared to other similar apps. On top of that the workflow is streamlined - everything is one tap away with no load times for virtually anything. 2. Live Potential: right away all the live performance features pop out at you - assignable macros, 64 pad grid, easy controller mapping, etc 3. Best sampler around: it does everything and is so convenient. Import & save sounds from other IAA apps, slice a sample into 16 pads with one touch, and EQ your samples all in one place I have more to dive into but I can see I’ll be using this app quite a bit in the coming months, can’t wait to find out what else it can do..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Ce n’est pas encore Plug and playJ’ai essayé de brancher mon digital keyboard et ça n’a pas bien marché.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Great program liveThis app is fantastic for live performance. I can plug in my midi keyboard and pad controller, set them up to do whatever I want eg-launch my scenes, toggle between sounds, control filters etc, (very cool!) All my keyboard apps run in the background and are saved into each song. I’ve only been using this app for 3 weeks and it is very easy to learn thanks to some great tutorials on the net. Thanks INTUA for making a great performance app 👍.Version: 3.0.12
✓ Huge thank you to the community and creators and helpersI suffer from ptsd. This App is extremely therapeutic to me. It’s a part of my mental health to listen, experiment, create music. This app creates that cure for me. It is extremely beyond helpful to me. It’s comfortable. Easy to use (for me anyway ) also so much fun, and I cherish it so much. Thank you so much for this amazing app..Version: 3.0.15
✓ Top Selling AppThere is a reason why it is! Cons: Learning curve is a bit steep for beginners. File management needs to be learned. It is NOT a DAW replacement; editing on the timeline is very limited. Pros: Endless possibilities, and endless fun. “Scene Mode” allows you to launch clips Ableton style. MIDI mapping is possible for just about everything, and Macro knobs (8) can be assigned to multiple functions and mapped to MIDI. AUV3 support, and tons of really useful effects built in. Huge community of users, and tons of YouTube tutorials available..Version: 3.0.12
✓ It’s Pretty Good.I just bought Beatmaker 3 about 4 days ago. It has it's Pro's and Con's. I have about 6 DAW'S, the Save and Load feature it's the worst that I ever experience, it's scattered in 3 different places, it took me a while to figure out how to load a save song within BM3. The save feature is on top right, to find the song to load it up it's on the left side and a little ways down from the top, then you tap the song and nothing happens will guess what the load button is close to the bottom of the screen. the person who design that feature must of been high on something. The Save and Load feature should be all in one shot, usually on the top left side. I hope this problem will be taking care of in the near future..Version: 3.0.15
✓ Maschine KillerWas thinking about getting another NI Maschine to replace the one I sold a while back (hard times), but then I stumbled upon BeatMaker 3! Having spent just a few days with this I’ve found it does everything I need, and it does it just as well as the Maschine. Obviously there are no pressure sensitive pads but BM3 has a master velocity pad which does the job. It’s every bit as good but at a fraction of the cost (not counting the several 100s you already spent on the iPad of course 🤷♂️)..Version: 3.0.15
✓ No Bluetooth connectionAmazing Daw and I’ve tried a few. The Bluetooth connection is no longer compatible with the new 16.2 iOS update please fix. Sending love.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Ignorant users giving one starLearn to use the software you ignorant idiots.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Dope!Yeah, it’s dope AF..Version: 3.0.15
✓ CrashingIm enjoying this app, however it keeps crashing at the moment i get through a lot of work and then it crashes.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Issue with 808 science sound pack?This app is great except for one thing and that is when I load up any banks or samples from ‘smooth 808’ from my sound pack 808 science it sounds muted and buzzy? But when I tap on any sample it sounds great until I load it? I have tried messing around with everything but I just can’t understand why it changes the way it sounds when I load it? Unless I’m doing something wrong but I am unable to use the smooth bass because of this? Once this is resolved this will be a 5 star app..Version: 3.0.10
✓ IncredibleFully portable daw capable of around 8-12 channels w a few external synths and fx on some tracks before it stops coping (from my tests). I was blown away with how easy it is to use. It has made me question every sampler I have ever used as this is hands down the cleanest and best sampler for pitching (usually bass samples suffer when being pitched but this is incredible). I am leaving this review to ask whether a vst version of the sampler could ever be on the cards. I would pay double what this is app is to be able to open it on my computer. My current work flow is suffering from having to bounce to iPad mad then write 808 lines there. Thank you so much for this amazingly underpriced product..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Chord mode /scale midi transmitChords and scale selection are not being transported when routing midi to external systems.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Amazing workstationGlad I bought it great tool for recording on my tablet and it does everything youd expect from a full program on desktop.Version: 3.0.12
✓ Excellent LapEver since i got this app i just couldn’t put it down. Thank you Intua 🙏.Version: 3.0.13
✓ BM3I’ve been using sequencers and D.A.W’s for a long time. The first machine I ever used to write digital music was an Atari to give a little bit of background. So here I am with BM 3 fully loaded up with some of the sounds that I have as my palette and it's simply amazing. Obviously there are things that could be better, smoother, less awkward but no D.A.W is perfect. Still for a musician, composer, artist, BM3 is an invaluable tool. The combination of a classic sampler format with D.A.W recording functions together with live loop performance is simply fantastic. I can write at the speeds I need to and still maintain the quality that I require. Well done for creating such an amazing tool on a truly portable platform. Thank you..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Want to move duplicated regions downHi! I’m making a trap / death metal song called Alarm (mostly going 1/64 note repeat mode) and the Cherry Lead isn’t loud enough with the 1/64 on it. So I duplicated it and made a duplicate on the track. I tried to move it down and it wouldn’t work. Can you please add this feature? Cuz now I need to figure out how to make loud enough. Thanks!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ The Best Music App for my Workflow (but still not enough)I have tried all of the major DAWs for the iOS platforms and I can honestly say that beat maker 3 has one of the most comprehensive and versatile experiences on the AppStore. It is the best I’ve found for my workflow-I am able to quickly access and load up samples and manipulate them on the fly with my Midi controller. I’ve been making a lot of stuff with it recently, but it’s also been crashing on me a lot. I try to remember to save a lot but this definitely hinders the experience and I have lost a couple beats now that I was really liking. But nonetheless I still recommend this app, it’s almost there – but still a lot of performance stuff that can be worked on.Version: 3.0.14
✓ Highly RecomendHands down the best program on iOS for making music. Its not perfect but for the price it’s easily the best program for beat making beats on the iPad. The sampler alone is one of if not the best sampler you can find anywhere on ANY platform. Best music production purchase I’ve made thus far and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for BeatMaker 4.Version: 3.0.15
✓ New work flow btm3Like owning a Mpc with a classic daw and ablelton live clips With a few extras, my one and only neg is they should of left the same mechanics and logic of btm2 ,even down to the sound store so you keep your original purchase with the new ,but and I say with a big but if the updates keep making progress in terms of easier work flow and more sound packs in terms of genres, not just instruments it would make sense on why they change the program so much ,let’s seeeeeeeee.Version: 3.0.8
✓ One crucial problem w the browserFirst off pretty much all the functions work immaculately. The app is super easy to get into coming from DAWS and hardware drum machines in the past. What’s got me stuck is a issue with imported audio files displaying "0 bytes" under all my imported files. They all looked and worked fine the first time I imported them but have been broken now for months. Looked online for forum help and it seems people have been also having this issue since circa September 2017. Tried both database rescans and they still show 0 bytes and will not load into pads nor audio tracks. Pls help bc I’d be using BM3 so much more if my breaks were loaded and working properly lol..Version: 3.0.15
✓ Bring AUv3You may feel like bringing this sampler to AU form might tank this app but it will actually raise the value. Everybody who already owns this app will gladly pay the in app purchase to unlock it as an AU to use inside of any DAW! I personally started with BM3 but moved towards Cubasis 3 and I have to say beat maker 3 has the best sampler of any daw i have ever used and i come from desktop Fl Studio. Its just that for audio recording and mixing Cubasis is the DAW for me. I still use BM3 to chop up samples and make loops. Please Unleash this sampler and make it AU so i can load it into Cubasis and even Garage Band. INTUA will be the leading sampler for every iPad user out there!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ :(*update* it is very hard to use after the last update. It’s taxing something immensely in my iPad Pro 10.5. The battery drains quicker than its usual quickeness with BeatMaker 3 and I couldn’t make a song more than 4 tracks using 13% cpu. Froze my iPad even after closing beatmaker. Not sure if it’s apples software since it allegedly is having memory issues at the moment or just BeatMaker since I’m not having issues with other apps. But I finally got the hang of the interface. It’s very much like the pc version of Maschine. I couldn’t wrap my mind around the previous versions of BeatMaker but 3 is now my new favorite iOS daw, possibly just daw at the moment. I just can’t figure out how to copy a track, I can copy the midi data and open a new track and paste the midi data but I can’t figure out how to simply copy an existing track, sound bank and midi data and paste it for a simple doubling..Version: 3.0.13
✓ OG 🥁Beatmaker Me(Drummer) ♥️s BM3Bought this app about 1.5 years ago for 25$ and it surely helped me get over the wasted $500 I spent on reason 7or8 I got like 3-4 years before and the frustration cuz I never learned to use it. I’m not a big PC guy and as a Drummer PC is not ideal cuz u can’t have ur drum kit and comp together usually but iPad makes it simple to work and lay down ideas whenever they arise. If i never saw and thought to spend the 25$ to try BM3 then my live and music horizon would be very dim but now my Musical Future at least has a Shim.....E yah... wu-tang 👐🏽😎.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Everything I was looking for in an iOS DAW!I’ve tried quite a few apps to find a fully fledged iOS DAW that suites my needs and I have found it in BM3. The sampler is amazing and the workflow is quick once learnt. File organisation and access is great! Highly recommend..Version: 3.0.13
✓ I really like the uiPlease let us import samples by folder..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Good daw, but a couple of issues.Issue #1: The plugin list is sorted by company name, then alphabetically. There is no other way to sort plugins. You cannot search the plugin list. This is an issue, because I’m used to having plugins listed, alphabetically. On the fly, I can’t think of the plugin’s company name, so it takes me extra time to find plugins in the list. Issue #2: BeatMaker crashes whenever you drag/drop multiple samples on the beat pads. I’d like to be able to drag a folder full of samples on to the drum pads and file up the drum pads with all those samples. Doing so will crash beat maker. Feature request: I’d really like it if there was a “right-click” option to assign a knob value to all knobs on the drum pads. For example, if I change the ADSR release knob on one drum pad to 100ms, I’d like to be able to go to the long-tap menu and click “Assign value to all pads. Beat maker is a unique DAW, which to me kind of resembles Ableton, which is familiar to me. I’ve used several other iOS DAWs, like Cubasis, NanoStudio, and Audio Evolution. Based on the current price ($28), I would say that the price is fair, based on the features it has..Version: 3.0.15
✓ For some reason the app won’t openI’ve never really had any major problems using this app besides a couple crashes here and there, but for some reason lately I can’t even get the app to open properly! I’ve found a workaround to where if I open another app that I use for music like Cubasis the app will open…but when it does it’s all buggy. Please help because this is my go to app for beats on my iPad.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Guitarist & developer here...this thing is amazingTo the app devs...holy cow, I love this software. I tried all the freebies, some of the cheaper ones, and really wanted an OP-1...but with BeatMaker...I don’t need anything else (looking at you GarageBand)...love this app. If you’re reading this, and on the fence about the cost, think of it this way, it cost basically the amount to see a movie in the theatre...buy this instead, and spend a couple hours playing with it. You will more entertained, and on your way to making your very own music..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Just needs some finishing touchesI have always used logic for my music projects but trying out BeatMaker 3 for the first time I was hooked and I love being able to make beats on the fly and having basically a fully working daw with me everywhere I go only thing I think is missing is an option to rearrange your pads without having to copy and paste and all that stuff u should add a swap pad option or a grab rearrange mode or something.Version: 3.0.10
✓ AmazingThis is an incredible app with endless possibilities for creating music. Keep up the good work and updates and this will keep going from strength to strength..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Beataculous X3Well worth the wait, definitely one of the best daws on ios. Can't wait for the iphone version. Five stars all the way. Thanks Intua.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Buy it buy it buy itIf making beats is your thing. Buy it.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Great samplerI was very close to buying an akai mpc but decided to try this first as I already had an iPad. I rushed out and bought a launchpad x which works really well, especially with the 64 pad option within BeatMaker as it saves switches banks. The sampler is amazing and very easy to use. The only moments when I find myself having to think about the workflow is when I’m in the sequencer. I can’t quite put my finger on it (no pun intended), I think it’s the scenes/patterns, duplicate or repeat and the piano roll drawing tools. I get the idea and there is no doubt a lot of requests for an ableton style clip launching but it doesn’t feel right for me- I think the horizontal layout is probably why. Perhaps I’ll just get used to it over time but I feel I should be comfortable with a sequencer quite quickly. Otherwise it’s one of the best DAWs on iOS at the moment and is a great price for all the features plus the included fx are decent too..Version: 3.0.14
✓ Love this app but when will we see an update?I absolutely love this app as a producer coming from the MPC era. It has a lot of useful features as far as production goes. I am wondering when we will see an update for this app? It has been well over a year and many IOS updates but no update to this app. When will we see more features that will help propel this app forward and make it a lot more complete as far as Recording and Editing goes. I always find myself doing Production in BeatMaker 3 and Recording and Editing in Cubasis 3. I would like to be able to do everything in one app without feeling the need to bounce to another DAW to feel like I’m getting the complete experience. Can we expect anymore updates or has this DAW been abandoned as far as updates are concerned?.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Almost thereThis app is on the top 3 for sure... there’s a couple little glitches that still need work though.. my main pet peeve is that it works fine in the background until the screen locks, then it freezes up and I have to turn on the screen when jamming, or have to change settings back n forth every time I want to use... other than that, this app is great for performing. Not a big fan so much of the arrangement user interface, a little complicated compared to others...Version: 3.0.10
✓ Bm3 user EDITEDOriginally posted a less than thriller review of the app forgetting that aside from a few things this app is really hot. future forward.Version: 3.0.13
✓ FantasticVery nice intuitive music software and is pretty much a steal at this price..Version: 3.0.15
✓ It’s Keeps Freezing lately???!I’ve been using this app since December. And it’s my favorite music making app for iPad Pro. It’s usually very reliable helping me compose and produce a lot of great music. However, fast forward to this month. It’s been freezing and crashing a lot. When I close out the program and open it again there is this beat maker 3 loading screen with the loading wheel that doesn’t go away. It takes 2-5 minutes for the app to work again but this keeps happening. When I playback music the app freezes. Then I have to close it out again then it’s back to square one. This is really taking away from my creative process and ultimately my work flow. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the recent update of IPadOS 14.6 but what ever it is please Beat Maker 3 team. Fix this ASAP! I am a loyal customer!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Great app and only just broken the surfaceLooks like a lot of things going on here .. I like the ableton like scenes layout. I felt it really could have had a bit more sample content added tho, at least a few more drum kits as there only about 4 included.. A bit more generous with the content and it would have been 5 stars.. considering it seems a fraction of the size of beatmaker 2.. to be able to load kits from previous incarnations would have been nice too. .edit-.On the website it says it ships with 650+mb of samples but after downloading the free starter sample kit and purchasing the Ludwig kit it is still showing as beatmaker3 using only 400mb in total on my iPad ..hmmm.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Very powerful, but gets in its own wayAbsolutely love BM3. It provided a seemless transition for me coming from Reason. However it is lacking in some areas. Not being able to copy Midi from track to track is inconvenient, Also the quantize is tricky, "Swing" should be able to be applied per track. But the BIGGEST issue is stability. The app crashes a lot! Especially when using AUV3 plugs. Sometimes the "Undo" button doesn't work as well. Fix the bugs and it's easily a 5 Star app..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Finally!!!I’ve been waiting to make beats portable with PC quality on my IPad for a while. I’ve always been an FL Studio user on my PC, the IOS app is garbage lol. I have been using Beatmaker since Beatmaker 1, purchased Beatmaker 2, and now have Beatmaker 3, which is why I stopped using ,y PC btw. I was even able to, although not implemented yet, transfer my Beatmaker 2 files into Beatmaker 3 believe it or not!!! All this program needs is to be able to export the songs as .wav, .mp3 and files straight to my flashdrive, ie iXpand, or through the camera connection kit directly to a 3.0 USB Flashdrive without having to use iCloud or a PC, etc. Maybe you can make an app to do this or write it into Beatmaker 3 itself, then no producer on an idevice in his right mind would need any other program aside from this one to make a beat, put it on a drive, and put it in the car or take it to the studio for further developement. The Intua team gets no complaints from me, just a minor request lol😁, and thanks for the best beatmaker since the MPC 2000XL, in my opinion!!!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Had to change my review after using it more!This thing is a beast! I originally left a not so great of a review, but that was my unwillingness to really learn and dive deep into this software, because you really have to to get the most out of it. I have pretty much every major ios daw on my iPad, cubasis, Adria pro, garage band, nanostudio 2, tried the modular approach with aum, and nothing compares to beat maker 3. Its such a great time to be alive!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Piano rollDo you think by chance we can get an update for piano roll users? I’d like to draw my nose in but it’s hard trying to use the piano because it keeps deleting my notes or is hard to actually controlling without losing the note. Also would like to actually hear them know I’m clicking in other than depending on the side piano to hear it.Version: 3.0.16
✓ Really getting into it!The last update has improved BM3 quite a bit. I’ve been quite enjoying being productive again although there’s still an occasional crash hence that’s why I’m always hitting the save all the time just to be safe Still a solid five star app and I hope for further development and stability updates to come.Version: 3.0.13
✓ AwsomeWhen that app came out I got it right away then I wanted a refund because there was only the sounds on the tutorial but when this update came out it was definitely worth the 30 dollars.Version: 3.0.2
✓ FantasticI love the depth of the sampling would now really love to midi control faders and other tweaks thanks for such a dedicated and fab app..Version: 3.0.12
✓ 3 versionsEach better than the next. $30 pffft. It's the best iOS daw.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Cool appThis is not on the level of an akai s3000 😂 but it’s good at handling samples, maybe don’t expect hardware sampler results but it handles samples smoothly and each sample can be played on a keyboard, it has a sophisticated sound over all, samples don’t sound like trash when you load them they sound clean, if you love working with your own samples this should be the first app you get it seems to be the best one, and it works with AUM so that’s great.Version: 3.0.15
✓ 5 stars but .... 🤧😕😓Hello beatmaker 3 needs a major update I’m currently using the latest iPad and experience major issues it really hinders my workflow being a full time producer one of the errors I seem to encounter is constant crashing if I load to many more then 4 plugins I have the lowest latency and I’m running the latest iOS software and I have the latest iPad with 64gb of space I don’t see why this would be a problem but the crashing needs to be fixed I consider this a daw and some minor drawbacks messes up my workflow another error I encounter is not being able to change the interface color scheme I know this is nothing major but this can sometime strain my eyes and I seen numerous of other complaints compared to beatmaker 3s lighter colors I would love a option where you can change it to different colors again thx but a update is needed ASAP !!!!! Another error I encounter is sessions becoming cure pot for no reason and not being able to load or anything.Version: 3.0.12
✓ I’m neglecting Maschine because of thisI’m blown away by the professional quality of this Daw. This is basically a full blown Maschine for iPad, with some advantages over Maschine in terms of performances. The Auv3 functionality is pretty great, and I like to use this as a brain for my other synths and drum machines. I would like to see the plug in functionality improve, as it can be glitchy at times. What is wonderful is that your projects with auv3 save with the plugin and its settings. I’ve had some problems with iSEM patches when I reload, but they seem to resolve when I open the app independently. Using my favorite drum machine, MV08 works absolutely perfectly within BM3. You guys have restored my faith in serious iOS music production. Keep it up!!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ The REAL BEAST!!!Excellent!!!.Version: 3.0.12
✓ Have Fallen In-Love with BM3.. :) ❤️I think so.. Everyday I'm discovering new features and new ways of doing things with this app. I have to pause at times to let it sink in.. In other apps when I think about a particular task, - I usually have to switch apps, in BM3 I can mostly remain in there and do the things (i) need to do. And the best part is some of the things I want to do are in my head and I can work out if it can be done in BM3. 99% of the time it can. It, is working with me! It's not too complex, but is capable of some real depth! Loving the adventure. Be glad when I know it inside out, and it's fully stable. Since buying I have deleted around 20 other apps (20 household name apps), some to make space/room and some because BM3 does what they did, - and there's more to go. Glad to see this latest update, it puts a lot of things into perspective. Great! "Everything takes time" It's brilliant! Cheers, Intua, :-) King ..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Great Product. So Powerful!I’ve been using this app for about three weeks now. I’ve been in the industry for 10 plus years but I’m just getting back into production and composing. The only issue I’ve ran into so far is an almost unbearable amount of clipping coming through when I play audio via the app. It doesn’t happen all the time, and it doesn’t follow through to the export. My exported audio is really clean. But I do have a first gen iPad Air. So I’m thinking it maybe just be a lack of processing power on my iPad. Either way, it does make mixing a pain, but composing is a breeze with this thing.Version: 3.0.12
✓ One of the bestThis app is absolutely one of the best DAW on IPad. The sampler is awesome! Being able to build your instrument from scratch with sample layering, keyboard range, effects even plugins! Even the sequencer is great. At first it seems a little bit confusing but then you understand all the power you have: recording with patterns or more traditionally with linear recording, creating your arrangement from all the patterns your recorded... Thumbs up for the developers!.Version: 3.0.13
✓ It’s good but it can be betterWhen I first started using this app everything was good but then started messing up, the loading screen sometimes takes a long time, it would crash sometimes, it would change the pitch of my song projects by itself and it’s annoying because I have to keep changing it to its normal pitch. There’s too many bugs that need to get fixed but it’s still good thoe, very simple to use.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Impressed!Amazing production suite that has changed my approach to music. Its really helped me to build my sound libraries and produce my EP no matter where I am in the world. I look forward to witnessing the evolution of beatmaker and encourage other musicians to experiment and embrace new emerging technology..Version: 3.0.12
✓ Great app but...Very buggy, doesn't work well with a lot synths through IAA. Great for making beats, with a few more fixes will be a great, full production suite..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Piano Roll improvementsThe piano roll could be easier to use to allow the user to make melodies faster and more effective a pencil tool and cut tool will be needed and the grid needs to be easier on the eyes.Version: 3.0.15
✓ I’ve tried every DAW on the App StoreI’ve been a long time user of Cubasis but it’s unusable on iOS 13 and the new version is unusable full stop, so I’ve been hunting for a replacement. For some reason I tried this one last, after every other DAW. BeatMaker 3 is astonishingly good, and rock solid even when using AUv3 plugins that crash every other DAW out there. I managed to work out all the basics of BeatMaker enough to make a pretty decent song in a single day, but it’s also clear how much more there is for me still to discover. The UI is superb, well thought out and puts everything you need just a touch or two away. I can pretty confidently say that this is the best DAW on iOS..Version: 3.0.13
✓ You can sell your studio.This app is The ultimate mvp. I've been dreaming for someone to make a real professional sampler/daw since I got an iPad. Beat maker 3 is so well crafted it rendered my mpc2000xl and maschine useless... Get it master it and you will never look back. I seriously can't believe how good this is... Easily on par if not better than 600$ and up software/hardware solution. So thx for making this happen intua i wish you all the success you guys deserve..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Just keeps getting betterI would normally give this four stars, as it does have a few issues, but the devs are obviously working really hard to continue to improve the app judging by all the recent updates. The app itself has the potential to become my favourite (and hence the best IMO) music making app period. While I like to start projects in other more simple apps, BM3 just helps me be creative in so many ways. So while they keep working on this, five stars are deserved. Have removed a star for the incomprehensible move of having the AU midi fx rack that makes the actual midi played by AU midi apps non recordable..Version: 3.0.11
✓ *Apple Magic Keyboard Update*I have been producing on this app for almost 2 months and and am beyond impressed by the capabilities of the program! I’ve just recently purchased a iPad magic keyboard and one thing I did notice is that when I open BeatMaker I am able to drag sounds and use the Trackpad to navigate faster through the application... BUT it does not give you the ability to play keys with the keyboard like it does for producing DAWs I’ve downloaded on computers I’ve used to produce on in the past. This kind of update would put you in competition with... if not leaps and bounds above other programs I have used in the past. (ie FL Studio, Reason, and Logic Pro X) still I am satisfied with the program this is only a suggestion to help me and wow other into making BeatMaker 3 their GO TO DAW!.Version: 3.0.14
✓ Stunning App!The capability and functionality of this app is the dogs!.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Perfect for High-Quality Music Creation in 22’ and BeyondFirst things first, the interface is very inviting. Setting up and saving banks is a breeze. Using FX sends is intuitive and assigning different functions to macro controls is smooth. I make sample based music for sync and recording artists and compose entirely on my iPad Pro using BeatMaker 3. I want to see BeatMaker 3 continue to get updates even after version 4! We will support you! At the end of the day the only feature request currently present for myself is to allow lazy chopping of samples in the editor. Thank you for all your support and hard work!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Temporarily DisappointedIs a update going to ever come or have you guys abandoned the BM3 app & community and ran off with all our money. It has become very buggy—-updated review, after studying your update version history I guess you guys or coming out with a update in about 2 months I’ve noticed that you guys update about every 12 months. FYI a lil teaser or something or a preview of what’s to come ANYTHING just keep us informed. FEELING ABANDONED BY YOU GUYS. Y’all gotta do better with staying in touch with the BM3 community. Come on man, oh and reply to some of these freaking comments & show you care and you are hearing us some lesser developers do a much better job at this than INTUA. These things can make or break the future of BM3. Show Love & get Love.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Would easily be 5 stars if the sequencer wasn’t such a messThis app has such massive potential, I love the way the sampler works, the excellent support for auv3 although plugin delay compensation would be very welcome. The one thing that spoils it for me is the sequencer; there’s something about the way it tries to offer a linear timeline, scenes and pattern style sequencing all at once that makes the experience a misery...I feel like I’m constantly having to jump out of one mode into another, accidentally editing the wrong pattern, chasing my tail. It’s great for those who are doing more straight-up beat making but for complex 5minute+ arrangements it’s a nightmare. To be honest it breaks my heart as everything else about it is superb. There...I said it x.Version: 3.0.13
✓ Real music as startedThe music interface studio maker iPad as to offer I will say this is a carry around studio all in one love every bit of it and it allows you to use other apps to add in. Changed my life big time..Version: 3.0.10
✓ So closeFor the iPad Pro to be the desktop replacement, give it two generations more at most to accomplish this...the only reason I use my Mac if for Ableton Live as the nervecenter for my studio , not to mention superior softsynths...Beatmaker is SO close...Beatmaker should be the premiere iPad sequencer for iPad One improvement after working hard with this great app I can see is that of having record-enable switches per pad. For instance, if I have two pads with the same midi channel, they will both record when I arm the record button...what if I wish to record only on one of the two pads, thus having two different & discrete sequences for the same midi channel (this is how i work) Cheers.Version: 3.0.12
✓ BeatMaker 3 is how I thinkI couldn’t believe that when I discovered BeatMaker 3 in 2018 how it would singlehandedly change my music making process. I am so happy to have my iPad wherever I go so that I can be creative. I would happily pay annual subscription for this app to support Intua in their development..Version: 3.0.15
✓ Just Keeps Getting Better!This “little” app started out good, but over time... It just flat began to ROCK! It now possess a deep feature set that even includes MIDI audio unit support (Cubasis is not even there yet) and has an intuitive interface! My only dislike at this point is that some visual elements (such as the transport bar) are a tad small and hard to read... If that is my only real issue though, that alone says something big. I regularly produce some of my favorite work with BeatMaker 3 and would whole heartedly recommend it to any iOS producer! Just buy it already and get to making tunes!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Just WowI bought the iPad as a means to provide sample fodder for my Octatrack. I bought this app because of videos by Henny Tha Bizness, who’s done an impressive job showcasing this great program. I now find myself constantly on BM3 on the go, than at home on my hardware. Great program all around. Not sure if it’s because I’m on an iPad Air 2, but would love to see better RAM optimization as I’m forced to usually resemble AUV3 tracks or after a good 4 tracks of certain AUV3 plugins and my RAM is maxing out. I’m always having to up the samples to 1024 samples on some tracks. Hoping this can be addressed and that it isn’t solely hardware issue, either than that, fantastic work on this software. So clean, well designed, and fun all around for creativity, btw love the added scale and chord modes, blows Chordion and other paid apps out the water. -nkdvkng.Version: 3.0.10
✓ Fabulous. Hope bugs are crushed soon thoughConstant crashes whenever working in the song arrange page. Literally just moving a pattern eventually leads to a crash on the iPad Pro 10.5. However I have faith the developers will rectify everything. They know they have something special here so it's in their interests to do so quickly especially with all the competition around the corner. Update: crashes no more. Simply stunning daw. So sophisticated and slick. These developers are incredible..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Cpu problemsBeatmaker 3 a good daw for creating quickly and really easy to use. Only thing is I’m having 30/40 % cpu problems from using plugins like pure synth platinum. Some of my sounds cut out. Intua is there anyway to fix this problem ? And is there anyway to copy a high and low melody on two different octave at the same pattern Besides that intua good job on this daw.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Truly powerfulSo I have to admit to really loving Cubasis as my mobile DAW, but since buying BM3, I haven't touched a Cubasis once. This has a great workflow for people looking to keep their music production on their iPad. I am now only making music with BM3. The true power of this app is in its sampling capabilities, and I find it is exceedingly easy to work with as I play with different sounds, and ideas. I am not %100 sold on the way the app handles instruments such as AU and Audiobus3 integrations, as it treats them as single sounds assigned to a pad, but once you know how to navigate around, it is smooth enough. The in-store purchases are a bit limiting for me, but others may find them sufficient. The prices are great if the packs match your needs. For me I really like the layout and rock-solid stability of the app. I haven't experienced a single crash, and the devs are active in their support forums, and are putting out frequent updates. The only drawback for me is battery life in my iPad mini 2. This app uses battery at a high rate, and will warm up the device pretty quickly. You will need to keep near a power source for long sessions. This is my favourite iDAW by far. This has really made making music on my iPad so much smoother and so much more fun. Great job. Great app!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Mind blowing appBest app for making beats period. My only gripes with the app is the inability to lazy chop and not being able to copy and paste track automations like you can do in Ableton. Everything else about this app is perfect.Version: 3.0.15
✓ Perfect mobil dawI recently destroyed my laptop for studio so I haven’t had a studio to work in for months, I wanted a app exactly like this forever and now I got something I can continue my work on, to top that I can connect to ableton link and work with my comrades. What blew me away was the fact of all the effects and sound manipulation, even resampling on drum pads, then you can download 3ed party plugins and vsts, I was even able to Dropbox my own sounds from sample packs on my storage computer and build my on drum pads with my sounds again, very powerful app that will be on my iPad for a very long time, thanks guys beautiful app.Version: 3.0.8
✓ IncredibleThis app really pushes iOS music making to the next level and shows how seriously this platform should be taken for its potential in professional sounding music production. BM3 offers an overwhelming array of tools and possibilities for endless and unique sound design. Mind blowing app!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Still issues + new ones after update and years of app neglectIt’s still my go to DAW. Best I ever used that allowed me to make my best work on. It’s just frustrating that wrinkles can’t be ironed out. Still unable to organize tracks, moving track up or down is erratic. Cpu meter is going into 500% suddenly, (new issue) Trimming an audio file sometimes leaves an unrecognizable waveform that won’t delete until app restart. Plus timestretched file are off sync after an export to wav..Version: 3.0.16
✓ Great AppI love this app and that it’s for the iPad. I’ve been using it for maybe 2-3 years now and it feels so new, yet so old school at the same time. A few things I would add would be the ability to randomize note velocity, as well as strum the notes with a short cut or option button. Ghost notes, midi flip, and transposing short cuts/options would be great as well. Still a five star app regardless..Version: 3.0.16
✓ PerfectionJust amazing!.Version: 3.0.15
✓ AmazingI absolutely love this app! I deleted all my other IOS DAWs; everything is done through BM3. Excited to follow the development of it and see how far they can push IOS music production. If it had a step sequencer Ismail to Push 2, it would be like 7 stars out of 5 lol.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Simply the best Of iOSToo all the kids crying about stability issues, us real producers buss our auv3 to external audio tracks and print to tape ;). Cubasis and GarageBand and other daws are trash. Bm3 only daw that actually has good exporting features for stems . Simply the best daw on iOS. Please add track duplicate and a way to punch audio better. If you added key detection for samples that would be nice too. I now have an army of friends rocking bm3, it has changed my own life being a dad makeing beats ..Version: 3.0.13
✓ Not dead yet‘BeatMaker is constantly improving’ so the blurb tells us. Yet the most recent update is the first in 2 years, and nothing fantastic. Happily, now Logic Pro is on iPad, apps like this can be binned..Version: 3.0.16
✓ Awkward designOne very annoying issue' when I am on the pad playing a scale and accidentally hit any option on the right side outside the pad , like the key, or change the octave, then it locks the note you are playing and nothing will stop it ! Unless you quit.Version: 3.0.3
