I recently made it to the finals / top ten of a Drum Broker sponsored remix contest ( for Rasheed Chappells "1520" ) using nothing but this app. As someone who came up on samplers like the EPS, zoom sampletrak, sp404, korg microsampler, and maschine ...I'm amazed at what this thing can do and its workflow speed, especially for such a low price. It's worth mentioning you can also import audio files and sample external sources

[@MurderToCassette]

The newest update from last week with the effects and buss options is crazy, almost makes beat making in a DAW obsolete for me. Being able to airdrop an idea from koala on iphone to my computer to finish up, then bounce my stems to mix is clutch.

Everything that you said you wanted to do… you can do!! And you can do it many different ways.. this app is beyond amazing!

[@ricardomanzo]

Let's say I want to record my voice on a pad over a sequence. The sequence must be on so I can be on tempo. I tried pressing the play button on sequence, went back to the sample screen, put it on record from mic, and it recorded the music and my voice on the pad. I don't want the music, so I pressed the headphone button, pressed play again on sequence, on the sample screen I pressed on the pad and it won't record anything... What gives? What am I doing wrong?

I’m not gonna hate hate, because I usually enjoy your content. But dude, there are a ton of features you didn’t highlight. In failing to do so, it gives the impression that the app isn’t capable of keeping up with the SPs and MPCs of the world. Koala is leaps beyond most, if not, all hardware samplers in several aspects. When paired with AUM, it is an absolute monster. I implore you to explore it more and do a follow-up vid.

[@cesanbucek8587]

Koala is the truth, considering it's only 5 ducking bucks! I have a Digitakt, a MC-707, Maschine, a PO-33 and my studio partner has a MPC live. However, i find myself reaching for Koala the most to get a jam started, even just to cut up some samples. The truth is Koala is just so extremely powerful in it's simplicity. Add the stem separation and the new mixer update, and you can wrap it uppp. How i wish stuff like this was around way back when i was a kid!

[@bigolbabyhuey]

Do it come with sample packs and additional sounds you can purchase?

[@towerrunner4675]

@@bigolbabyhuey It comes with some samples to start with, called "Basics". However, you can load whatever is on your mobile device. Koala has a file browser with pre-listen function for that. A network drive (Samba share) is my preferred location. So it's possible to use the same sample library for Koala and DAW. 🔥🔥🔥

Funny how people mentioning it’s only 5 bucks when comparing to hardware. Don’t you have to buy a device in the first place? IMO aMPC or Digitakt whatever anytime over a app.

I find koala amazing for chopping samples cause you can be extremely precise, it can even timestretch in real time, you can litterally drag the loop bar while listening to the beat to match the tempo super useful for acapellas too and the touchscreen gives you an incredibly fast way to do that. It’s my main sampler in combination with others.

[@inperfectsequence7840]

It really is an application that gives value to your mobile phone and since the SP-404 does not have a microphone to capture the sound of the street, use Koala Sampler to make beats with the sounds of my city. It is seriously the most useful thing for your iOS system, together with Garageband you can do everything, it is a sampler with no limit of samples, it is infinite like your iPhone. Very graphic, very intuitive, the sound is very good when it samples sounds from the street or from a USB interface. Now on the iPhone for an ultra-vitamined teenage engineer, and on the iPad a good-sized SP-505. I use this thing on an iPad Pro M1 and iPhone 13, anything I want I can do and work on in the DAWs. It's also a great sample and loop generator to sell. Only the sky is the limit.

[@arifmemovic3383]

The sp404og and sp404sx definitely have microphones. I'm not sure if the sp404a and sp404mkii have built in microphones but would be very surprised if they don't.

[@inperfectsequence7840]

@@arifmemovic3383 Aira's Roland SP404-A is like an SP404 SX with Aira colors, but it has a built-in microphone and sounds a little better in audio captures. The latest SP404 mkII model only has a microphone line for a Shure SM58 type microphone, it is not suitable for recording things live without having a wired microphone at the line input. It's sad, because the machine is great, but one of the coolest things was capturing audio anywhere using batteries, then working on ideas and finishing them in the studio. 😅👍

[@bobbymobetta]

Bruh, you can definitely record through the mic on the iPad if you want... and you can do it while playing the sequence over the speaker ..If You Want... the headphone next to the FX if you click that it will give you several options like Mic, App, and I forget whatnelse... but think about it. You aren't set up into an interface.. you wanna record the shaker over the speaker playing the sequence? It'll sound ridiculously hissed up, no headroom, if it doesn't just feedback straight away.... which is why the mic is almost ALWAYS initially disabled on the iPad apps. I don't know why you came into this video ready to throw shade, it's only THE BEST sampling software ever created. This dude is single-handedly making the SP-404 obsolete.. or at the very least a wayyyyy overpriced and less update-able Dino. That's why I don't even mind when they come out with likely completely fully featured new modules and charge another 5 bucks. Because I've up til now still only spent 15 bucks total (the Mixer with sends and busses came out last week) and I've finished probably 40 or 50 tracks just with this app.. and I've STILL never out something out of my 404 that feel done by itself. Don't worry man, he could tell if he went after MPC-Gang he would never get anywhere... ; ) Look, I'm just saying; I watch mad of your vids, I like that you call out what's good, what's not, and when you see BS you call that too. But you can't complain about missing features just because you didn't take the time to learn that they not missing! You were just saying last week that the 30 dollar SP1200 app was pretty decent... where's the PAR-IT-Y my dude??

[@arifmemovic3383]

You can route the sequence to play through headphones while you sample using the built in mic. This works great for lofi stuff.

[@funfactswithmaxx]

I have it on all of my devices. If you get the upgrade, it has stem slicing too. Extra helpful.

Before iv got my mpc I was on this app for a minute and it’s a dope tool to use when u are out and about and want to get something out and transfer it to your daw to finish it … all in all it’s dope just play with it for a while and you might get more out of it to sum it up JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT

[@JeffStrange]

Man, this thing is amazing. When I was struggling with sampling issues with the MPC, I could bang out ideas on the Koala app. Just bought your Masterclass on the One, and I want to incorporate them both to make some joints! Definitely worth the 5 bucks. No need to feel bad about the 2018 iPad Pro, Ave. I got the same one!

[@A.D.G]

8:26 For samples in the edit window, move the sample start. Alternatively go into auto chop > lazy, and place a marker where you want (you can drag it around) 14:04 You're sampling from the mic with headphones on. How is the mic supposed to hear that? You can so this by hosting Koala in something like AUM, or just screen record like you did the youtube videos earlier in the video

[@F_letc.h]

Appreciate you making a video about Koala, but basically everything you said you wanted already exists, and there are a lot of amazing features I’m guessing you weren’t aware of. In my opinion, Koala is the 21st century MPC. I don’t even use a hardware sampler anymore. Just Koala, and export stems to Ableton. It’s significantly easier, and faster, to work with than anything else currently available. And it’s always in your pocket, so you can work on a track anywhere, then when you get home airdrop the file to your iPad for the bigger screen and keep working. The workflow is unmatched.

[@AveMcree]

I start and finish beats in the MPC. So that don't bug me at all and no it doesn't have a looper, visual ADSR, etc... It's not complete

[@F_letc.h]

@@AveMcree it has an AR envelope, and can certainly be a looper, but I never said it had everything, just that it has basically every feature you claimed it didn’t in your video. The MPC doesn’t have a built in microphone, or stem splitting, so it’s not complete either.

[@vstpluginsonicxtc]

Good video! For the price you can get the functionality of a SP-404 for around $20 on your phone or iPad. Very cool.

[@arifmemovic3383]

You can record over a loop using the microphone. However, you need to mess with the settings a bit. This is the workaround. You are able to record a sample to a pad while the sequence is running. Just have the sequence running while you record to a pad using the built in mic. Make sure the sequence is routed to play through the headphones and that the sample you are recording to a pad is being recorded with the device's microphone. Then all you have to do is trigger the pad within the sequence and it will be in time.

[@SonicVibe]

it's cheap easy to use and keeps getting better under 20 bucks compared to a mpc's price it holds its weight samurai and mixer IAP a must have as well as the auv3

[@AveMcree]

Bruh an iPad is $300 minimum then you can use this app.... Not to mention no Ableton Link and other features... Add a MIDI controller, dongle, audio interface, & it cost the same if not more...

[@Dru_Won]

You don't need a $300 I pad. I'm using a $75 used Chromebook. Or even just my moto phone. I've also heard early model I pads work perfectly. Most people already have the device they would need. I'm making beats as good as any I've done on all the machines I've used over the years , for a fraction of the price...and faster, for the most part

[@SonicVibe]

@@AveMcree true but I don’t use android 🤖 always had latency issues but a iPhone would work I do have a iPad 9th gen I use it in just cause it has a headphone port last one to have one but I think 🤔 9th gen under 300 new now. I can use it with midi controller but don’t I use it as auv3 in AUM so I can use all my other auv3’s with it but even a lofi 12 or lofi 6 same price as a iPad I just mean if ya have a iPhone 📱already it’s a cheap boombap option. Not saying it’s better then a mpc but I think a mpc good for being a brain 🧠 of a dawless setup more. But it’s low cpu you could run this on any older cheap iPhone iPad probably next to the po 33 it’s really easy to sample for boombap I currently use iPad,lofi 12, lofi 6 or Roland SH-4d as of late mainly for the sound or a Nunomo mk2 but I’d use koala over say beat maker 3 any-day it reminds me of a cheap sp 404 mk2 if it where in a app

[@simonwernli6943]

By the way, you can record your shaker during the sequence with the microphone. You run the sequence and let it play. Then you select the sample tab and press a pad to record your percussion.

[@SLPGroundSoundMusic]

yes you can record in real time while you are recording, after pressing play you just got to go back to the sample tap, instead of staying on sequencer tap, plus koala is an auv3 which means its also a plugin that you can use inside any other ios Daw, my favorite daw to pair koala with is Aum, because Aum which its a mixer daw which gives you endless possibilities for koala, plus the options for not only sampling other auv3 (plugins) instrument if that what you want, but also you can mix and master your koala projects, using other auv3 (plugins) processers and fx, specifically because koala has 8 multi-outputs which means you can separate the melodies section, the drums section, sounds fx section, vocals or ect section, into a separate mixer channel in Aum, basically in my opinion Aum is like Koala other better half for making a complete finish project,,, also because Koala is an Auv3 app, you can have more then 1 koala instances, meaning you can have multiple koala at the same time in Aum which gives you the option to have unlimited pad banks for samples, or sounds for a project, also about the sequencers, you can make a sequencer for each section like intro, hook, verse, bridge ect, on the sequencer pads, and ones you have all you tack sections, and your next step is to create a track (song) you can drag each sequencer sections (intro,hook,verse ect) into an empty sequencer to create the complete track (song) by the way you can double click on the a sequencer pads to see the piano roll, also on the sequencer tap or section, you have the options to note repets or the keyboard for the hihats or the bass for example,,, anyways on Koala there is a lot more options for other stuff including for the time stretching, basically koala is deeper then it looks you just need to get to know the app, by the way my channel its all about the beats i created on my iphone and for the pass 2 years has been all about the beats that i created using Koala, together with Aum for the mixing and mastering, so yeah i know everything that got to do with Koala and ios daw and auv3 plugins !

What am I doing wrong?

[@SLPGroundSoundMusic]

@@ricardomanzo it sounds like you are doing it right, because 1. you did make sure the (mic) option its on, which you said you did 2. you did make sure to have (headphones on) so no sound other then your voice get recorded, which you said you did 3. you make sure that after pressing play from the (sequence tap) you when to the (Sample tap) to record your voice by pressing an empty pad and leaving it pressed or by pressing an empty pad and then slide up the pad while still pressing pad, so the pad recording locked option gets activated to stay on record, which in guessing you did, right ? if you did all that those 3 steps and its still not recording you voice or anything, im guessing that it has to do with your android device mic settings option and not koala, which it might be that you need to give Koala the permission to use your device mic ! and if thats not the case then im not sure what is the problem other then maybe some type of a koala android bug issue, so if that is the case you can let koala's developer know about the issue and he definitely will fix the issue by a day or two, because he is a great developer who actually cares about the app and who use it, 4sure !!!

This is why the MPC files sound the same whether in the device in the app or in another daw as a VST. The only difference is workflow.

​@@AveMcreeSorry Ave, but that a bit like the pot and the kettle. I own an MPC and I like it sound quality and all. But I must admit I haven't worked 16 year plus on the MPC, but Koala has some tricks up it's sleeve my MPC and my SP would have. On shot resampling being one of them. Merging samples by dropping them on each other or concatting them on the fly. Or simple beatmatching with a single touch. Of course it's no MPC, I love my MPC and my SP, which I bought after having worked with Koala BTW. But for fast on the fly work. No match indeed. I use Koala in bed for instance, try that with an MPC 😂.

TLDR: this guy doesn’t do a goid job explaining the app because he doesn’t comprehend it’s capabilities. I get it’s a first walk through video. But nearly every complaint you have is utterly invalid due to an EXTREME lack of knowledge of the app. I do t mean this hate st all. Thanks for taking the time to check out a phenomenal app but I worry people who do t know the app will think it’s dog shit because you are do t understand what it’s capable of - and tgat would be a huge disservice to the app developer and to the music making community.

[@michaelgerber7878]

Came back to ask how much this guy spends on hardware because Koala is INSANELY cheap. To complain that he might have spend $5 to open up incredibly powerful functionality was rage inducing. He paid $5 for the app and is complaining he doesn’t get enough functionality when he pays hundreds and hundreds on LESS CAPABLE hardware. Shameful and not a fair comparison. Bottom line.., koala app would kick his tool of choices ass for a TOTAL of $30 and an iOS device. Koala plus AUM destroys all hardware. And yes I’m serious.

So this is the infamous koala the fan boys talked about huh, looks decent, no use for me tho 😂😂

[@ob8719]

@supermcfly100 Lol I don't produce on ipads and cellphones and I would only use that koala app for stems which I have better and convenient means of getting my stems.. I'm good bro, and wide awake, I be up all night like drake lol.. yall could have fun wit yall koala bear 🐻 app tho lol

As much as a tablet/phone format lacks the tactile feeling of a hardware groovebox, there is no denying that the MPC or any groovebox can learn a thing or two from this app when it comes to intuitive sampling workflow.

@Drrolfski To me what your saying doesn't make sense. You're describing a student teaching the teacher scenario bro. Idk how old that app is but I'm pretty sure they got their inspiration to even create such an app from the leaders in the industry such a akai, I mean I get you guys like the app but you guys that produce on apps and phones are a minority of people dude, nobody does that forreal. Ave only made this video for the sake of it, even he doesn't produce on his iPad probably ever, you guys need to chill out. Just keep using koala bear 🐻 and carry on bro

@@ob8719 Maybe you should try the app yourself first before making all these prejudices about it. Its touch workflow is definitely innovative compared to that of an MPC. And if you're thinking that people producing seriously on a mobile device are just an insignificant niche group I suggest you think again. Plenty of top artists have released whole albums made on an iPad.

@@Drrolfski I would never use that app, ever

Clueless as usual

[@DayOFF718]

Its wasn't so bad... ?? Lmao.. Theres nothing wrong with the App. Does EVERYTHING the others do. Sounds NOOOO different from the rest. Whats missing, tell me?

[@AveMcree]

How much experience do you have with other samplers? I want to know

[@DayOFF718]

@@AveMcree Enough to know that what I'm saying is true. Im not saying it can do absolutely everything but it can have the same standard workflow as the MPC and Better. And in the hands of someone like myself who has been making beats for 20+ yrs from the Playstation music generator, Mpc, and other samplers to Apps.. theres nothing that can be done on the Mpc that you can't do on Koala. The app is Amazing!! In my opinion, I just thought you could have gave it a lil more Energy into how Good it really is. Thats all I use now, for 2 yrs. straight. Aint got time to brag about fancy gear no more... Its about getting to work!! And Trust you wouldn't believe I made what I make on Koala and FL mobile combining them together. If yall got money to waste, send me a couple dollars. Could always use the help! Peace!!

@@AveMcreedude You’re asking about experiences with other samplers, but you have No experience with koala at all. Stop it
