I've been making music since I was in high school (I'm 44 now). Been through so many hardware samplers, MPC500, MPC1000, MPC2000, Boss SP303, BOSS SP505, Roland 404SX, KORG Electribe ES 1 and more recently I've been using Maschine. I bought Koala a couple of days ago and it makes all that hardware seem silly. The fact that I can make beats on my phone now is incredible. I will probably export finished beats to my PC in order to mix them or arrange into albums but apart from that I'll be using Koala.

@@ajanitruth yeah i can't really put my finger on it, i feel like a big company would have to spend much of their budget just to achieve something as easy to learn as koala's, it's not overwhelming, it lets you do what you want and quite quickly, i've even started using the pc equivalent despite all the other programs out there for music making
@taosophymusic Жыл бұрын
big companies either overthink or underthink design and UI. Similar to an I.T. shop at an agency, they develop their mission based on making it easier for them to manage and implement security and don't go the extra mile or give a hot damn about how their affecting agency productivity or in the case of poorly designed apps, how much people may love the functionality of their app but loathe the hoops they have to go through to do what they need to do. Apple is a case of design over functionality. They've recently relented and added the ports back to their laptops that users wanted(still waiting for a headphone jack to be added back to iOS devices)but, they pay a little too much attention to aesthetics.

Found out about Koala in December and did nothing that entire month but learn the app inside and out and I began making beats and samples. THIS update is a game changer, I was to the point where I really wanted to get a MacBook and a different more in depth software, but this fixes that for me almost entirely. The people at Elf Audio are geniuses 🙌🙏🔥

Allow the user to change clip launch behavior. I’d love the new clip to start after the one before it runs it’s course rather than immediately. 2. Allow user to mute individual instruments in a sequence as it’s running 3. Pattern chaining 4. Allow AUV effects or more effects in the app like full ADSR, delay etc I love the app as is but I’d totally pay for those features!

This is really going to be like having an sp 404 to use with my DAW, the only thing now is how to get samples of records in there, other than just holding the phone up to the amp/speakers... There's a lot of audio interference, background noise, sometimes the phone desntt pick up what youre trying to record, and so on.

Great video. I have to say, however that I find the equal chop setting INCREDIBLY useful. If you've already gotten the sample to a perfect number of bars (say, 4 for example) then it's great. That's the most common chopping method out there, historically. It's a great way to flip a drum loop or chop a vocal. Great video, though. Didn't mean to only come in seeming negative. I found the video super helpful because it brought a few things to light that I hadn't considered. Just want'ed to share that specific thought. Thanks for posting!
@thekeysman676011 ай бұрын
Correct! Historically accurate. Cutting the 2 bar Amen Brother break or the Apache break into 16 equally timed pieces is what made certain drum patterns for certain genres & later influenced sampling technique in Hip Hop on the MPCs with their 16 pads.
