BeatMaker 2 App Reviews

Can you please integrate all the function of the Akai synthstation 49. The pads at the left and the control at the right are not doing anything. Thanks

Looks like a great app and the functionality seems solid but it does not work as advertised with Dropbox. Im sure it is some sort of glitch but this is causing my $20 to go to waste. I look forward to using a functional app. Review will be revised when app is fixed.

2 days ago I was complaining about the lack of Dropbox functionality. Today INTUA released an update fixing this issue. WOW! This companys great! Always on top! Nobody deserved the $20 more than them. Keep it up guys!

This is like a mini version of reason. Seriously. It can do almost everything reason can do including automation and sampling. i dont think you can chop up and re-arrange loops like you can with recycle but its a worthy on the road equivalent.

This app is amazing. One of my favs. Please add audiobus support for us!

This app excels at refining beats and the midi capabilities are perfect for triggering, using this with Lemur rocks!

Very advanced. Great control over effects- everything can be automated independently- every single slider on every effect for a track. Touches like the option for a 4x4 array of velocity pads for a single voice are great and there endless finessing tweaks you can make. Plus many banks of drums triggers and quick in situ change of beat resolution and triplets (eg 48 subdivisions) including up to 96 subdivisions makes for amazing beat programming. You arent stuck with just 16 note values for a drum track you can choose from a "wall" of different pad banks. Thank you! The interface/workflow is honestly not that intuitive out of the box - this is a hallmark of a truly powerful program tho and it is worth investing the time in. However !! The included keyboard sampler packs are atrocious. You will need to do a bit of work to find bass and lead sounds worthy of the beats you create! With audiobus support this may be less of an issue as you can trigger midi via keyboard tracks and then record the other apps audio output into an audio track. Also I have to say the keyboard sample editor is great. Surprisingly simple to add zones and velocity-specific layers to sample based instruments you create. With a bit of pasteboard actions from other apps including Alchemy (one of my favorite synths), you can come up with usable keyboard instruments. Cheers!

This is an absolutely great tool for music production, very capable indeed.

i really like this app c: it is quite complex but you will learn and get used to it :)

Im really feelin this app. Reminds me a lot of reason which Im really used to in making my beats. Only problem Im having is seeing a time bar? I see the frames and bars of the track in general but no time frame? I shouldnt have to have a timer at the hip just to see the length of y track.

Best daw out there. No need to pay for extra pluggin. Everything is up right here. Better than Impc, imaschine and all the electribe

Everything you need to create your own beats and import beats and lay down solid tracks two thumbs up

This app is packed with music power, but the UI makes it feel like youre navigating a maze. It has so much potential, so much power, and so many sounds and effects, but its nowhere near as easy to use as Garage Band. Id prefer to use this for all I can do with it, but I hate the menus and navigation.

I completely agree with Gold Dust, every single last function (in what IS clearly an extremely capable DAW) feels like it requires three extra steps to complete, or three extra menu screens to dive through. Even with slow patience & referring to the manual, i found it almost instantly frustrating. And a GIANT file size... Ive had it off my iPad for some time, but Im going to put it back on to see if its gotten any easier. I want to like it...

Unfortunately, there is a bug with the MIDI and sustain pedal which makes it useless to record MIDI piano performance.

This app is by far the best that is out on the apple market It comes with everything you need from start to finish to complete beats Beat maker 2 is all you need

Srsly... Pitch shift, time stretch, automation. Its all here. Plus it runs on your phone

Lackluster DAW. Poor samples, crappy effects, no fades and NO AUDIOCOPY!!! The audio editor is so bad. Controls are cumbersome. This is more like a $5 app, especially since you have to pay so much for somewhat decsent sounds. If youre looking for something pro on your ipad, get Auria. At least add audiocopy to make it worth peoples while and fix the crashing with interapp audio.

Very solid. On board fx are ok but workflow is incredible and quick.

Cannot import samples through iTunes sharing or drop box anymore.
