Toontrack Beatstation Review

[SandJJProductions]

it appears like it has a lot of loops is it also good with recording

[OUWATZAHLE08]

toontrack rules man i use it to my nanokontoll and nanopad

[naguilu]

i have an small question, maybe someone could help me!

Can i use this with fruity Loops 9, or Adobe Audition 3.0???

Or wich is the right way to use this software??

[floridamusiccompany]

@naguilu

yes works.

i don't if there's a right or wrong way to use this software just call it up within your daw and hit some pads on the software.

Is there a way you can route sample to individual track like EZ Drumer in Pro tools? I ve spent all night since I bought this

If not, this drum machine is waste of money

@TheLantern009

I don't know about protools, but in logic I load it as a virtual software instrument on a track just like i would EZD. Then drag some midi (or play some midi in a record armed software track) and it triggers even my home made samples through the virtual instrument. It's actually quite handy.

Am I the only person who thinks that this GUI looks like a nightmare from 2004?

I like Toontrack but what is the point of deliberate ugliness? Have you looked at the skins for this? Am I missing something? Is painful to look at some kind of new cool?

I have superior drummer 2.0 and its pretty much my go to live sounds, I brought this because the price is very reasonable and it has some lofi stuff and digital stuff I didnt have with SD2, Beatstation rocks, especially for the price, I guess the olny thing I thought was missing (in the stand alone anyway) was the ability to program your own groove, I thought that would have be great especially with the sample recorder. Although there are a lot of midi files that come with it,

[MrBlurgon]

Compatible with Reaper I'm guessing?

[irpinia125]

[floridamusiccompany]

[dmoates420]

That was the best display of beatstation I've seen yet. Thanks alot. Now that I know u can lay it out like drum pads I'm going to get it. That alien look just doesn't get It for me. Lol

[TheUndergroundGuitar]

I just got this the other day, and love it. Have used EZ drummer for a while but I cant get this to hook up to cubase. Any Ideas?

[LaughingOTI80]

@TheUndergroundGuitar did you try going to Device then plug-in information then VST paths and then set the path to your plugin?I think it goes to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2 depending on what Windows version you have.

[MichaelBlue72]

Looks amazing, a lot of control for the price.

But in all the videos I've watched on this product, they're always using the pre-loaded rhythm files. Can you make your own custom rhythm patterns with this?

Thanks!

@MichaelBlue72

You can import midi files directly into beatstation or if used as a plugin you can make the pattern in your daw to drive beatstation.

[JockRonayne]

Looks like a pretty solid product. BTW, love your review style, very pro and gets to the point.

[treborladres99]

Hey Chris.. being a Superior Drummer 2.0 (w/several expansion packs) owner I know that Toontrack makes great products.. this product may not fit my needs but it's pretty cool all the same.. haven't seen your videos in a while.. good to have you back.

[RAYGproductions]
