BeatMaker 2 App Reviews

Best DAW in AppStore

Best DAW on the iPAd hands down. This app will handle practically anything you throw at it!! @RenTinn - Suggestion: Do some research and perhaps read the manual first before you write a negative comment that makes you appear ignorant. BM2 is fully CAPABLE of deleting tracks.

Useful for Songwriting

This app has made songwriting easier and faster for me personally. Ill write a guitar riff then make a drum beat on Beatmaker, or vice versa. For the most part Ive only used the acoustic drum samples. For what I use it for, theres not much else I could ask for. It was definitely worth the money I paid.

I Want To Cry

This is by far the best music app Ive ever tried, and Ive searched many. Its extremely intuitive, the samples are amazing, and the simple export options are ideal. I would have given five stars except for the fact that as soon as I updated my 3GS to 6 software, I lost everything. Apparently now it requires 7 or higher. I only updated because the app stopped exporting abilities. I switched to a droid a while ago because the plan is more affordable, and only kept my little iphone to help me make music. There is no Intua for droid, darnit!! I wish I wouldve read the fine print before I updated. All that music I worked so hard on is lost :,(

Music Producer Must!!

Ive been a producer/engineer for more than a decade. Ive used every DAW there is, even if only for a trial period. Beatmaker2 is simply a must for any serious producer. Its not just another app to quickly put ideas down. This is the real deal and I use it as much or possible even more than i do ableton or reason. I give it 5 starts but if were possible Id give it 30.

Love it!

Im just a regular person that didnt know much on beats. I was learning but gave up frequently. But this app has taught me so much. So now Ive learned and feel more excited to learn more. I now know how to make simple beats, with good quality because of this app. It is really worth the buy.

Does everything I need

Tried several iOS DAWs, but most lacked at least one feature I need. I dont expect an iOS DAW to have all the features ProTools or REAPER (my favorite) or any of the other PC/Mac DAWs have, but Beat Maker 2 goes beyond what Id expect. Love it.

No sound via audiobus

Good app but there is no sound when recording and routing sound via audiobus. Deal breaker for me.

Clunky but powerful but also clunky.

I was already familiar with how to make music with DAWs when I downloaded this, but it was still bewildering at first, even after reading the manual. And re-reading it. Some of the interface elements are/were unintuitive: tap once on a selected track to delete it?? Hey whered my work go?? This seems to have disappeared with updates but I still feel wary of tapping anything before knowing precisely what it will do. The samples that come with the app are kinda eh, it is true. Beatmaker is most useful for editing and then sending MIDI to other synth apps. I have tried to use it as a recorder at the end of an Audiobus chain, but it crashes every time I try to capture audio coming in that way. Nanostudio is more reliable in that regard. The sample editor may be the most compelling feature in the app. Again, the interface is obscure and the process complicated, but time stretching and pitch-shifting can still be done independently of each other, which is not possible in any other iOS app that I have yet found. But it is circuitous and frustrating to get what I want out of it. If so much of the app were not the same way, I would use it more often than I do. As it is, Beatmaker is a useful tool in a small collection of iOS apps, but not something I would try to use alone to produce a finished piece.

App background issue

The app cannot stay open after opening other app i.e. Synth Makes very difficult to use as main DAW, never had this prob till recently

Do not buy biohazard

When I paid 12.99 for biohazard I expected fireworks to shoot out my brain instead it came with a whole lot of a waste of space. I really want to remove biohazard n a refund.

Please update app asap not working

Inter app function crashes out immediately and audiobus no sound and crashes out Beatmaker 2. This has always been my favorite app when it worked. PLEASE DONT LEAVE US ALL OUT TO DRY. It was always was a 5 star app but now I cannot use it with any other app, even Nanostudio which it always use to work with. From the bottom of my heart please, please update and dont abandon this great app I cant use anymore. Kind regards & Prayers, Sean

Very impressive

Using this App has improved my skills with Logic Pro. Before this App I was totally clueless on how to sample. Now I feel like a sample genius. I make reggae, rap and R&b songs with ease with this APP. GET IT!!!

DOPE AF

IM AN INTERNATIONAL PRODUCER WHO SELLS BEATS AROUND THE WORLD AND IN THE INDUSRTY AND I GOT MY START USIN THIS VERY PROGRAM ITS SO SIMPLE TO USE AND RECORD INTO ITS AN ALL IN ONE DAW AND I LOVE HOW YOU CAN ALSO WAV OR CONVERT TO ANY AUDIO FORMAT AND UPLOAD TO THE INTERNET VIA SOUNDCLOUD AND EVEN WAV OUT FOR FINISHING ON YOUR DESKTOP ECT I CANT WAIT UNTIL THE 3RD ONE IS RELEASED IM BUYING THE SAME DAY AND IVE ALREADY RECOMENDED A FEW PRODUCER TO THE DAW FOR CREATING ON THE GO

Be advised

Theyve basically abandoned this software, for over a month theyve refused to fix audiobus capability with iOS 9. So be warned.

To The Developers

Im sure I havent had an update for this Beatmaker 2 app in quite a while. I just upgraded to a iPhone 6 and this app crashes constantly. Making music is what I want to do for a living so this crashing is irritating me. Could you please send out an update for the newer iPhone. It would be greatly appreciated.

The update is making the app crash

The new update makes the app crash when i try to zoom in on the tempo of an instrument. I would or buy this all because of the update. It worked better before the update. Please fix this

Audiobus

Audiobus issue still a problem. iMaschine application unresponsive when used with BM2 and Audiobus. It used to work flawlessly :(

Bluetooth not working

For the past few updates, I havent been able to connect to my bluetooth and use the app. The app crashes if im connected to the bluetooth in my car and does the same with my bluetooth headphones.

Raw!!

I love this app.. Its perfect for on the go beat making. I use it on flights, in hotels or whenever I feel the need to create & cant get to the studio.

Best portable producing station

Best way to make beat and construct a whole song from a phone or iPad on the go. unless you have a laptop with highly expensive professional equipment & board, this is the best way to produce on the go. Glad you have finally fixed the Bluetooth issue too even though that was a minor one. Keep the work and updates coming, I love this app!!!!
