The opening sounds fantastic

[@MrMallum]

The song at the beginning reminded me of an 80’s Sci Fi Film. Very hypnotic ❤

[@RosssRoyce]

I feel this is one of these apps that give you infinite creative possibilities!

[@Lulu.Perkins]

The new Drambo update really is amazing! I’ve had so much fun making music. I love Drambo!

[@JeffyG]

Doug - a sincere thanks! I’m new to Drambo and your video got me up-and-running quickly. You are such a great asset to the iOS music community 😘

[@StephenWEwart]

Bit the bullet and got this yesterday. These videos are a great help, thanks Doug.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thanks Stephen

[@StephenWEwart]

@@TheSoundTestRoom Does Steel Guitar Pro record into Drambo? If I strum the “strings” no midi data sends? Using the pads or onboard keyboard works .

[@nandokrafft8926]

Thx finally I bought Drambo and see what kind of stuff you can do with it. It’s amazing.

[@edzielinski]

Top notch content. A great intro for anyone who wants to break into the wonderful world of Drambo, but also great as a refresher too.

[@philsimmons5438]

Super thanks for the great tutorial Doug from a fellow Scouser 🎉 just copped Drambo and looking forward to getting stuck in. Just waiting on my Apple camera kit so I can hook up my OP-Z and have some fun. Thinking I'll add a midi controller too for something a little more tactile😊

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Hi Phil you will love Drambo, it’s a very powerful app, it’ll be great with the OP-Z. Yeah, definitely get a small midi keyboard, you won’t regret it👍😊

[@AdrianGeorges]

Danke!

[@snufbox]

I’m digging that bass line on your outro project 🙌🏼 V cool.

[@spokefast]

the song you opened with was sick!!!

[@GrantMoore3D]

This was a very helpful introductions to the basics, thanks for the calm and simple instruction

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@EdBMetal]

Great video Doig! This tutorial is perfect for me. I have drambo for a while but never got really far with it. It can get overwhelming and co fusing. So this clears up a whole lot of basics to get going. Great stuff, thank you! 👍👍

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

thanks Ed, I'm pleased it helped you out a bit. Drambo can be as complex as you like but if you start simple it all kind of fits together.

[@juliogargano8968]

Great. Thank you Doug !

[@allehooop]

Beautiful music 😍

[@echo_opera]

Great stuff Mate! Love seeing this from you sir!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Thank you 😊

[@northernsympathy2496]

Excellent, thanks.

[@cartoondesignrevealed]

This opening song is oh sooo good 👍 😊🎉.

[@777wisdom7]

Oh I finally understand this now its like gadget. With a modular instrument rack ....wow this is nice. I had it since it came out and was intimidated to learn it

[@robertYTB78g]

I thought that was a really awesome presentation to someone like me who has previously been confused as hell about this whole Ableton-like type of DAW. I downloaded the app and worked through every step in your video, although I did need to use the built in instruments instead of the single AUM drum kit you used. Even better, or I might have decided each track meant one instrument like in a standard DAW, and so it forced me to reckon with the idea of single clips into which multiple tracks can go. Now I can't wait to play around some more. I wonder if I can use this app to get some more acoustic sounding compositions? I remember ages ago downloading your sax and violin instruments for the ipad, I guess if there is something like this in AUM that would be the way to go?

[@TheGreatPanicker]

Wish this app would go on sale!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

I’m not sure how often BeepStreet put this on sale.

[@basmatine]

I just bought it 50% off for Black Friday- 10 bucks ain’t too bad for all this power.

[@snufbox]

@@basmatine Yep same. Bang for your beat buck.

[@Jeremyelrick]

On sale right now!

[@philippeb1507]

20$ compared to the price of an iPad and considering all that you can do with it is truly not much. More than ten times less than the equivalent on a regular computer (not to say twenty times less)…

[@GaryR55]

This has become much more interesting since the first time I looked at it. One question, though: how flexible is Drambo when it comes to using instruments outside of Drambo? I know it can be used with AUv3s in AUM, but what about within Drambo, itself? In other words, can I insert instruments, sounds, loops, etc. from other sources, apps, etc? Also, how versatile is Drambo for use in Cubasis?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

You can use an AUv3 instrument or effect inside Drambo, just like any other DAW, Drambo itself is also an AUv3, so you can use it inside of Cubasis, or anything that supports AUv3. Drambo also supports Multi-Out channel from itself. It is incredibly powerful.

[@GaryR55]

@@TheSoundTestRoom So, best to use AUv3s with it, but can it support IAA, as well? I noted that BeepStreet also makes Sunrizer and iSequence, both "ancient" IAAs. Odd thing is, their own KZbin channel is devoid of anything about Drambo. It's devoted mostly to iSequence and Sunrizer and looks like it hasn't been updated since those two apps were released.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

You can’t use IAA in Drambo. iSequence is a standalone DAW type thing. Sunrizer has been an AUv3 for years now. He also makes Zeeon Synth, which is also an AUv3. It’s really up to you what you use inside Drambo, you can easily build you own modular synths and effects, or use one of the many presets that use use the internal modules, or use AUv3s or just mix and match as you wish.

[@GaryR55]

How about importing samples and loops? I like the way Drambo works, but I don't want to be confined to using only Drambo sounds and instruments.

[@ricardomilice2470]

Love all your videos, question, Is it possible to record Blocs wave in this app?

[@letsseedifferent7610]

do you buy packs for this or does it come with its own instruments

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

It comes with its owns instruments, you can also use your AUv3 instruments and effects. Bit there are two IAPs, but you don’t need to buy them to use Drambo

[@kisho2679]

is it MPE compatible?

[@RosssRoyce]

When I make a drum pattern within the AUV3 drum (LE03), I can have polyphonic two or more sounds at the same time (hihat +BD etc), the same instrument in Drambo doesn’t allow polyphony. I wonder what option I have to press to allow polyphony on Drambo pattern? Thanks!! PS to answer my own question, I find that when I press a step and press several pads simultaneously, it turns into “chord”, this is how several drum sounds can play in the same step manually when not roll recording. I don’t know of there is another way, have to check if there is a piano roll 😀

[@LewisSales]

Change voices from 1 up to 16 to play sounds at the same time, when you load a new rack instrument to defaults to 1 Voice on the midi module.

[@TMWSS]

I’m looking forward to watching your take, Doug. This is such an amazing update for Drambo - it’s maybe my favourite app on iOS along with Loopy Pro, and such a game changer in the groovebox game! Great to see so much Drambo content go up on KZbin over the past few days. I’m currently making some tutorials of my own, too: kzbin.info/aero/PLI9UCYID2G_vAzdp5SkqMJ8TIzBPx9jIg

[@GaryR55]

Yep. I usually watch Doug's tutorials on an app before I even consult the developer's! 😊

[@tonystephen6312]

Are you using a USB audio interface or is it straight?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

I’m using an Audio Interface

Bye bye notation circuit tracks 😂

[@rattyfus8218]

Shouldn’t it be “toast rack icon”? Fussy git, aren’t I?!
