Beatcutter by Igor Vasiliev (iOS FX App) Deep Walkthrough - Equally Bonkers & Fascinating

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Hi folks, please bear in mind that I earn next to nothing from KZbin, currently (years later in 2024) I have been earning only around £55 a month from KZbin. The iOS music app tutorial niche is tiny, and that is why so many people have quit recently. The Apple appstore has no affiliate program. Devs and viewers are gaining far more from the current status quo than youtubers like me. With little support from devs and viewers I am starting to lose the motivation to continue doing this work, despite my passion for iOS music. It's very time consuming and I can't afford to keep supplementing this with my other work. I'm not a big earner and I really need to think about my economic wellbeing both now and in the future. Any financial support is badly needed and gratefully received 🙏 : Patreon​ (also has a free tier btw): www.patreon.com/Gavinski BuyMeACoffee www.buymeacoffee.com/953211370u PayPal: paypal.me/GavinskisTutorials Back to Beatcutter: There is a great helpful thread on the audiobus forum here if you have questions: forum.audiob.us/discussion/44507/beatcutter-crowdsourcing-the-learning-curve#latest Don’t forget you can follow me on Twitter, Insta and Threads. Oh and here is a bonus for y'all: a very clear description of how the app works in one paragraph, written by Celtic Elk at the Audiobus Forum. (Be there or Be Square btw, it is a great resource!) 'The realization that made this app start to make sense for me is this: each cell is a dynamically-triggered sampler. Each of the buses represent a stage in the sample/playback process: the input bus defines the sound source for a cell, the trigger bus defines the conditions for recording (trigger conditions, sample length), the control bus defines important aspects of playback (pitch, direction, how many times a cell plays before it empties, whether its first playback is delayed for one or more cycles), the sequence bus triggers playback (and can contribute to sampling as well, depending on how you set the trigger bus), and the output bus (which has two pages, one for effects/filtering and one for level/pan/EQ) handles downstream processing when a cell is played. Each trigger bus records no more than one cell when it fires; each sequence bus plays no more than one cell when it fires. It gets complicated from there, obviously, but that’s the basic setup.' 👍👍👍

[@tompoynton]

Honestly who needs Eurorack when we’ve got apps like this. I could quite happily do a whole live set with this one alone, love Igor’s stuff so much!

[@CKNC]

This is a complex one, in various ways. You are a brave man Gav. Classic FX

[@obowurx6625]

Well done with making this vid. Extremely grateful. This thing is very tough to figure out. I’ve gotten some great sounds out of it already but I have no idea what I’m doing. Your vid is very needed sir. You made the right choice

[@SharifKerbage]

Wow, this is randomness paradise! Thank you for this extensive walkthrough. I agree with you that the interface is not intuitive and practical at all, but in the same way it's so so interesting and intriguing! I'm in for a copy of BeatCutter.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Yeah, I mean you can definitely get used to this interface with time. But God, I wish I had this app with a Bleass interface

[@SharifKerbage]

@@GavinskisTutorials haha right! the complete antithesis speaking of interfaces.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Indeed lol

[@dugnsand]

The interface looks like Igor was transported to the bridge of the starship Enterprise. I can totally see how you could have a love/hate relationship with the app. But wow, some of the sounds are otherworldly. Thanks for all the work you did to make it almost understandable. Would love a copy of Beatcutter.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Definitely. I'm sure Igor has the same love/hate thing towards his baby. It's like a kind of brilliant but unruly and overly nerdy kid!

[@pelmelnet]

Wow! You’re example of how this app sounds was incredible. Some of the coolest sounds ever. I would definitely love to give BeatCutter a shot. Thank you for taking a chance with this video.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks man, that little jam came together this morning and I knew it was a sign I should go ahead and make this vid. Glad u dig!

[@chriswilson4466]

OK...I'm slowly figuring this thing out. It is wild, and I am fascinated by it. Thanks for the video!

[@tomtraxx2589]

Wow - Igor has done it again - very nice - I would really like to dive into Beatcutter

[@andreydrozdov1733]

You have done a great job to explain as clearly as possible.. Thank you 👏🏻 (SynthScaper LE)

[@amphora8321]

These deep dives are what's needed for complex iOS 'synths',. This channel could really grow !

[@GavinskisTutorials]

It will grow! I'm busting my balls to make sure it does. Thanks for the support!

[@SparklesofGold]

One of my fav iOS developers. He does update his apps. And listens

[@MeerkatMuzic]

Cheers Gav for putting in the effort to attempt this monster take my hat off to you. You definitely made my train journey more interesting watching you construct with this one. 👍

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Haha, thank you Paul!

[@shaunmcmahon5152]

Such a pleasure to see you give this one a go. I am currently covering some other complications with Special FX but this one needs that little extra push into purchasing it. thanks, Shaun McMahon

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Nice one Shaun, glad you enjoyed. I didn't understand the matrix very well at the time of making this video. Could have done with a part two but it was already such a headache trying to figure out how this worked from the manual. Cool app though for sure, so unique

[@plucollective604]

I think there are musicians who have a strong need to understand the apps they use in great detail and to be able to control it. Others are more the throw the spaghetti against the wall and see if sticks or not. An app like this is not daunting at all for spaghetti slingers like myself because we already get plenty of instant gratification by pushing the buttons, sliders, and dials, and over the course of time as we use the app we begin to understand it more and gain a deeper appreciation of the app and learn how to use it at a deeper level. I think you’re less of a spaghetti slinger which is why your videos are so detailed and useful to everyone especially the suggestions you have for improving GUIs. Very few developers are good at everything so if a developer is open to your and other users suggestions it can really help to shape the app in a positive direction. I didn’t find the app that cryptic when I used it before viewing your app. It’s safe to say that I also knew there were many things I had no clue about. In general we’re seeing the basic incompatibility of a brainstorming mode of thinking and an editing mode. Hopefully with this app the user community can help the developer with his editing process. It’d be nice and more convenient if all apps came out fully baked, but I think that’s something to aspire to and be thankful for when it happens. I’m not opposed to your and others hesitation to support the app due to its non-intuitive and dysfunctional aspects because perhaps this will encourage the developer to do himself and others a favor by seeking more assistance when it comes to refining his apps for release so that he and other people will have to deal with less frustration, confusion, or buyers remorse . . . essentially expanding his user base beyond the spaghetti slingers or those who can figure out how to navigate around its deficiencies. Taking out of the box ideas and developing them into accessible solutions is not an easy task. Collaboration with others throughout the design process would seem like a practical solution to overcome this challenge so your vision can escape the confines and myopia of your own POV.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Wonderful balanced comment, I hope everyone reads it and gives it lots of ThumbsUps, so well thought through and so coherently expressed. Thank you for taking the time, hope Ifortreada it too 👍

[@mattheww9656]

Thank you for sharing your insights and for creating this walkthrough - your work is top notch. I really like his SynthScaper sample-based app, which no doubt simpler than BeatCutter, was still a bit mystifying to me... until one days it just clicked and I could understand the ideas driving it. Appreciating your hard work!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks Matthew! Yeah, his apps are rough til they click! So far I only properly understand this one and Classic FX, the others I still need to study properly. Soundscaper and Fieldscaper are the top priorities I think, wish they were AUv3 mind you!

[@wasabifinessed]

This seems like absolute fun! Thanks again for another dope demo

[@jzno]

Awesome experiments ahead! 👏 I go for Beatcutter and good luck everyone 🍀

[@matthewthirkill8734]

ive tried to understand fieldscaper but my tiny brain cannot grasp the workings of this mad mans mad machines. i just accept i love the chaos they bring into my life. Beatcutter would be a great addition to my mangled head.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Haha, I now the feeling

[@EnriquePage91]

This dude Igor and ApeSoft (Alessandro) make the craziest mangling apps ever lmao. MuteMaster is a must have too 🙏🏻

[@EZmpc]

It occurred to me while watching this tutorial for the third time that Beatcutter is the antithesis of Hainbach’s methodology. Hainbach takes laboratory test equipment and makes it sound melodic. Beatcutter takes something melodic and makes it sound like laboratory test equipment.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Hhh, that's funny and very true lol. There's a place for both 😂

[@MenschFilmsUK]

Left the adverts running for you for a little while while I made a cup of tea before watching. 😉

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Nice!

[@SkyTortoiseFerryman]

Just picked this up so I am revisiting your tutorial. And yes even after viewing this it is still an inscrutable app. But I am glad I squired it. I hope you are doing well.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks! Yes - I understand this app better now than when I made this video, it took a long long time to get to grips with

[@PAL-MUSIC-1]

Beatcutter .....looks lovely...never read the destruction manual.... Great video as always..🙏synth scaper Looks interesting...👍

[@raufkasimov]

I like your video before it starts.Am I crazy? Yes.One crazy app for the crazy musician.👍👏🙏😍

[@vagelismoschos4395]

I am looking forward to trying this one!! Thank you Gavin!!

[@royor3]

I can completely sympathize with how you are or were feeling about Beatcutter.. Love/Hate relationship.. that’s my feeling on nearly every app I open.. that is, until I find that idea + sound that spark the flame of creativity.. 🔥 “What am I doing with this app? Which other app would work here? Hmm, that 🍎 or 🍊 looks pretty tasty right about now.. What would Chopsticks sound like being played through this app? Is this even on? Hey, what was that?” That’s my general process.. might get tweaked a bit depending on the app.. 🤣 Bugger it indeed.. Kudos to you Gavin for sticking with it + toughing it out.. you know us too well.. this just looks bafflingly complex to my eyes.. a video such as this is ESSENTIAL for anyone wishing to delve into this beast.. I won’t even pretend to comprehend what is going on here.. 👀 🤷‍♂️ So I really appreciate the effort involved with making this for us.. 🙏 (and I am a manual reader).. BUT.. it does peak my curiosity.. 🐈 No doubt Igor’s apps are unique.. and I applaud that.. I do enjoy exploring the details of an app.. only thing is time.. If I’m in a what-does-this-do mood, I’ll take that journey.. Most of the time (lately), I’ve got an idea in my head itching to get out.. somehow.. somewhere.. BUT.. RIGHT NOW! That’s not the time to grab complex apps.. Not exactly sure if this is up my alley or not.. even after watching the video.. If I was lucky enough to win a copy of Beatcutter I’d surely be a paws-on-piano cat searching for the right “sound”.. 😁 or just hit the randomize button.. over.. +.. over.. Thanks a bunch for this madness.. I really dug it.. 👍

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Well said Royor!

[@BsYtHandle]

I have usually bought the app before watching your videos but this is one of those that I'm going to wait and see before I put money in. So if I win, then great and if I don't then there's nothing new there lol. Good luck everyone and thanks for the video, Gavinski!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Good luck to you too Ash!

[@ToastedGhost]

Insane sound machine. Love Igor’s apps. They all unfortunately require a lifetime to master, but fun well spent. Still glad it comes with a manual. Thanks for the overview.

[@peterormonde1038]

Igor's manuals are a wonderful read ... his previous apps have been utterly incomprehensible but the manuals are delivered in a delightfully authentic Russian accent - not much attempt at English grammar or sentence structure, missing words - missing "the's"... he demands that you just work it out. Be as determined as he obviously is. Not many manuals can make me laugh. Painfully authentic. It's like reading Gogol in his own words rather than fancy translation. Needs vodka! It cantake years to really get on top of his eccentric and unique instruments... still learning new stuff they can do. A great innovator. Bit of an oracle... needs interpreting. Great vid incidentally ... valiant effort. Thank christ fer random buttons. Not so much percussion as concussion in my hands so far. Might try the manual. Might need a bottle.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Haha, I enjoy your comments a lot Peter, and I am sure Igor will too if / when he reads this. I commented on Twitter that if you get off on reading something as dense as Heidegger you'll be in your element with the Beatcutter manual. Each sentence is packed with meaning but will be utterly impenetrable to the uninitiated. The unfortunate truth about Igor's manuals is that only those who understand the apps can understand the manuals. The chicken comes before the egg in this world. I understand this app, and hence the manual, lol, so much better after another week of intense time with it and some great posts from Celtic Elk in the AB Forum that clarified certain key aspects for me. There may at some point even be a part 2 video showing how you never need to touch a single randomizer button in this app and can learn to predictably dial things in. We're talking jedi level shit here, stay tuned 🤫

[@widgetman]

Every sense that I’ve got are hurting.. yet I don’t understand how I love this despite the ultimate mindfudge

I never use this any more really, turned out not to be that much my cup of tea. Each to their own tho! Can't like 'em all

[@IwatoHyena]

@GavinskisTutorials picked it up on spring sale, and usually, within an hour, I can tell if I will ever use an app again, and this def went into the digital GAS graveyard faster than most.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

@IwatoHyena I did learn to tame it, back in the day. After I made this. Put soooo much effort in, and there were times I verged on really appreciating it, but I went off it again. I just pulled it out again tho as a result of this conversation, and got some good stuff out of it. Maybe I should give it another go haha

[@EdwardAlexander-ABF]

Nice! Definitely Beatcutter for me if I win! Thanks for another great and informative video!

Omg I need this in my life! Never wanted to win so badly! May the force be with me on this one.

[@PoppaDocRocks]

I’ve been curious about this app since I heard that it was coming soon. It’s pretty wild. Thanks for the video. If I win I’ll definitely take me a Beatcutter. Cheers Gav!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Wild indeed man. As I said in the vid I've been a bit up and down about it but today it really clicked for me finally

[@Boggsy.]

Just found your channel last night, and gotta give you all the props. Though some of the concepts you break down admittedly go over my head, you are a wealth of knowledge & ideas and I hope one day I comprehend a majority of the methods you mess about with. Figured a vid where you go over a nearly inscrutable app was an appropriate place to say so, haha.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank you! It's impossible for the videos to be at the right level for everyone - doing these videos is like teaching a class of mixed level students, some beginners, some advanced. In general, the best way would be to go back and start with my earliest videos and work your way forward, as I also knew quite little when I started the channel - it was a way for me to learn by teaching things to others as I went. Only when you try to teach something do you know if you understand it or not, lol. There's still a lot I don't know, but my god I have learnt a crazy amount over the last year through this method. I'm glad you appreciate, welcome to the channel, and stay in touch! Is that a nice Irish name I see there btw?

[@peanutcram7927]

Crazy stuff... would love to try it. Thx Gavinski

[@eylvy]

Damn, 2 videos in 24 hours! How productive of you! The name of the app interest me, I sure do love me some beats that get cut, IDM style.. And judging by the sounds only, it sounds really cool and will go amazing with the full Drum Computer I'll be getting shortly. HOWEVER, I'm a slow learner with not a lot of patience to sit down and learn how to properly use an app. Think I'll go for the Classic FX one if won (Plus I also have all of Igor's ____scaper apps).

[@rubyroomsdsoundbooth]

“Mangle the shit out of them beyond any recognition” I’m in. Beatcutter all the way. I’m a big manual reader too. Agreed that Igors app interfaces are overly complicated but the end results with all of them are quite good.

Yeah, but imagine if he sat down with Bleass and they made an app baby together how great it would be!

A magnificent showcase of creativity and coding skills, no doubt about it. All of our time is limited and with this video you have at least made me realize to dedicate it to apps that allow me to get faster and always reproducible results. The latter may also be possible but the effort to get there? I don't know...Synthscaper is therefore rather my preferred choice. You put up a brave fight Gavin and really made an effort not to let your displeasure with the UI and UX get the better of you. 😆

@@GavinskisTutorials i will 😆 expect many comments lmao as I go I like to point things out sorry 😅! Btw, this is reminding me heavily of mutemaster!!!

[@killerautomat]

great video, thanks for helping me getting started with this app!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Pleasure! Lucky you having me do all the hard work for you 😉😜

You are a brave man Gavin! 🤘🏼 I can’t say I find any manual an enjoyable read, and would much rather watch one of your tutorials, but couldn’t quite manage to get into this one. That said, I would rather win the Classic FX app. It may be more suitable for me. Have fun with this one.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Yup, bugger of a manual this one Mick!

[@MickTurnerMusic]

Gavin, your honesty and patience is incredible. I don’t know how you do it. 😆

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Me neither lol

[@Steelichi9]

Awesome weirdness! Thanks again for the the giveaway. Would love to try this app out.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Pleasure!

Another great and foundational iOS music developer. If Igor says Beatcutter is the weirdest app ever then this must be seriously wacky, so put me in for this one. He has some of the best extreme apps and some of the best production apps. I have used Audio Mastering so much. But I agree with the interface design. There is little spacial information design, you have to just know what each control does and how it affects other knobs.

Nice video! Beat cutter is hella weird but awesome!

[@dmitriiposlavskii6415]

Igor is genius! But the understanding of interfaces of his apps is the Big Challenge :) I’d love to win this brand new beatcutter :)

[@GavinskisTutorials]

It certainly is. I'm loving it more as I understand it more

[@dmitriiposlavskii6415]

@@GavinskisTutorials Yeah! I have seen your beatcutter-tips on the twitter)

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Great! Hopefully they will help some people

[@nigelrogers8690]

🤯 Dude I take my hat off to u for deep diving into this, if I win, Classic fx pls. Much more my level 👍🏾

[@GavinskisTutorials]

It took some balls ill tell you Nige, lol

[@williamjohnson9623]

His apps are hard but amazing sometimes. But I have a low frustration level. Classic FX.

[@mrblaschke]

I am definitely in for BeatCutter. Have to try this after all these speculative functionality and talk that is going on. I like Igor‘s Apps quite a lot and they grow on one over the time. Still using his *Scapers with love.

This looks like a must-have app for any experimentalist. As we say in Russia: Ни*** не понятно, но очень интересно! (I don't understand a shit, but it's very interesting!)

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Haha! Love that
