stop hating, sample based beats are straight if you know what you are doing... can even require more talent sampling and chopping from what you dig up in a crate.

[SampleSimple]

@djmmcee Indeed. Sampled beats are great.

This app is nice for sample based beats, but if you like creating original tones and using synths then this is useless. BleepBOX is half the price and uses only live synthesis (10 channels with pads, mute buttons, and a pattern jamming feature that is unrivaled).

[SampleSimple]

@3sleeves You can technically record some synths then create BeatPacks for them then import them into BeatMaker. NoiseIO, a synth app is integrated with BeatMaker, so thats an option.

[3sleeves]

@SampleSimple That is true...very time consuming, but true. NanoStudio is now basically what BeatMaker could have potentially been though, with synths INCLUDED. It also has sample pad grouping, which solves the lack of an auto cut feature that Intua never addressed. In my opinion though, Xenon and Argon are the best musical apps out at this point. BeatMaker is at the bottom of my list, right after SunVox (both are still good, but could have been so much better). BleepBox still rules live jams!

@3sleeves hey thanks for the insights into the various options for other apps. I will definitely check them out. thx

[jamalnyc1]

can you load samples from itunes if so how? if not how can i get other samples besides the ones the come with beatmaker?

[juggalo450]

i kno that but im sayin is that can you take the mpc beats an add them to this beatmaker into the softwere to the ipod touch sorry i musta not said it right lol

[SampleSimple]

@juggalo450 You can create your own BeatPacks with the BeatPack software. You can drag any samples into it then save it as a BeatPack to be loaded into the Beatmaker app.

@Fyeagass16 The pads aren't that bad. The typing keyboard buttons are smaller than the pads so using this as a simple beat production scratchpad works wonders.

[Fyeagass16]

the key taps are to small, really bad to use it, its only a phone for me, nothin more
