As a Logic user, GarageBand is only good for starting an idea any and everywhere (like sitting on the toilet or just sitting somewhere stuck in traffic) then just importing the basic idea into Logic. Playing the actual instruments on the iPad or iPhone screen is actually great too.

[@danielhenderson3247]

Logic is the only reason GB is my primary DAW. But I found you can do your melodic stuff in GB and drum sequences in BM3, combine them in GB and bounce it to logic to finish. That's my work flow right now.

[@shrednut]

Facts! Those toilet beats always hit hard!

[@Byronic19134]

@@danielhenderson3247 Weird how it would be so much obviously easier to just do it all in Logic but for whatever our creative brains don't always get inspired that way. We gotta view things in different perspectives

[@VendedaSim78965]

I’ve been using GarageBand since the iPad 1 (which I still have) and until I got my MPC it was my main jam. I like generating ideas with the Launchpad app too.

[@fade2blak91]

Koala sampler is my go to on the iPad. Adding your own sounds and sampling is crazy plus the fx are damn near sp404 level (for an app). You can separate stems, import youtube videos as samples…crazy

iMPC Pro 2 is my favorite. I have made music on the go with this one for quite some time.

[@hardonabeat]

I agree with you about BM3.. The only thing that I’ve been a little frustrated with is not knowing how to do zero crossing for samples to get the clicks and pops out. Maybe it’s because m fairly new to the program.

[@jigawatt7126]

Maybe try adding an “attack” to the envelope

I stepped back from iPad producing over the last year. It's still highly underrated though! Beatmaker 3 is one of the best and hasn't been updated in like 10 years! Standing the test of time. 😂

Beatmaker3 is a game and life changer!! Before I was using reason and all other propeller head programs for years until I found Beatmaker3. Never went back.

[@MegaFrankgarcia]

Great Video, which IOS app would you recommend for a beginning music beat make, I have played a little with LMMS on the desktop but I feel like I need more of an introductory level app. Thx for any advice...... I guess I'll just keep watching videos.

[@juniorescobar]

I use it all the time it comes pretty handy. And you're right they could have done a better .

[@tylerhill6706]

Myself i mainly use beatmaker 3 and GarageBand. I’m surprised though you didn’t have Cubasis 3 in top 3 list. I haven’t used it myself but from demos I’ve seen of it it’s a top shelf program. With apps like eg pulse and segments you can still sample and have that mpc style drums. Being the cost of it is only reason I haven’t tried it out myself

[@BoloDaProducer]

It’s a great program but I mainly use it for mixing. It might make it up to top 5 soon 👍🏾

[@leewightman8619]

The mobile band lab sampler is pretty good...I thought it was garbage until I hit the edit button I didn't notice it had and it's actually pretty handy and easy to use.. pretty limited but I like that as limits breed creativity

[@TrapAPMadeItSlap]

Bolo when is the next beat review, I made a beat specifically for it, it’s a placement beat but this shit is fire, proper hooks, verses and bridge, repeat, shit is fire fire

[@billclemons5593]

GREAT LIST!

[@gcaesare4658]

BM3 for starting projects in the production faze then exporting the stems for mixing and arrangement in Cubasis 3…. Best combo on iOS platform imo…

[@Stevie1da313]

Could you elaborate on that and tell me what makes Cusbasis 3 better for mastering ect.. cuz I havmt bought CB3 yet and was going to sometime in the future. It looks really dope and I know it's great from what I hear but I'm just curious what makes it better than BM3? Thanks in advance!

[@ninobeatz3983]

[@BoloDaProducer]

I’ll definitely try it

[@digijaymuzic]

ima try this because like he said the sound didn't sound good when exported

[@MusicWizard85]

I have to check BM3 out because it seems to get a lot of love. For me the top 3 Android apps I dabble with are: Bandlab Koala Sampler n-Track Studio Cubasis 3 seems really good but I don't feel like spending $30 on it. Around 8-10 years ago I was using a good one called Pocketband but they shut down a few years ago. I made my first album worth of music entirely on PB before eventually moving on to Garageband.

[@juiceonthebeatzone5]

@@Stevie1da313same.. BUT! I never turn the limiter up at all! also just listen to how the sound changes when you choose an over sample level.. I.e. none, 2X 4X 8X 16X or 32X .. any one of those can sound better depending on the mix. Also, mix and export at whatever sample rate etc that your platform you’re uploading to is optimized at. For soundcloud(which always sounds worse) it’s 16 sample rate and always normalize.

[@realtrevyblaze]

What’s happenin Bolo much love. Quick question bruh do you think Intua will ever upgrade the sound engine on bm3? I’m so glad you made this video bruh I had been workin in bm3 since 2021 and just thought my mixing was garbage. Watched this vid and it let me know I ain’t crazy and the sound engine needs help. Grabbed a mpc one the other week and the difference is crazy. It just take hardly no work to make the beat sound crisp. I find the MPC workflow a lil extra but getting faster with it everyday. Bm3 almost seem like abandon ware at this point but I’ll shell out another $30-50 for bm4 in a heartbeat

[@GladysGrace001]

Totally agree with your take on GarageBand. It definitely could be better. I only recently figured the (sections) part out which was very confusing at first. Overall It’s much different workflow/UI vs desktop version so I didn’t get into it for several months. Nano Studio could be great as well and I agree the sounds are pretty darn good and it has limitations as you mentioned. Been rocking with BeatMaker3 since day 1 but I ran into too many crashes in the several months. Switch to Cubasis for a bit and that too was crashing. So I stop using my iPad Pro (2018 version) out of frustration and try to go back to creating on a barely capable 2013 MBPRO. (You see my where my frustration is heading…😫😫😫). As a result, I’m working on upgrading to possibly a 14/16 inch MBP as I feel I can create more fluidly on my laptop. I absolutely love the portability and capability of what the iPad Pro can off for music production as I do believe it is the future as APPLE continue to transitions with the OS platforms for cross capability. Also I hope to see more future videos showcasing your workflow around these 5 iOS DAW apps. And yes, I have watched every single one of your BM3 videos since day 1 (way before I owned an iPad) and now I use them references.

[@geebee44]

Spot on... Garageband, iMPC, and FL on iOS all suffer from the same problem... way to limitting and dumb workflows... BM3 and Nano Studio are both highly useable!

[@benjip6034]

I don't know how you could favor impc, FL mobil, or. Garage band over drambo and cubasis 3. You must do most stuff with bm3.

[@floydhardrick2628]

I wonder if beatmaker 2 is good im on iPhone 3 not out yet

[@markmallory2528]

I’m thankful for this video Bolo, but this video sounds more like a rant than an applause. Don’t get me wrong, I feel ya 💯. But I can’t get with BM3 or as I like to call it, Sir Crash A Lot. Not to offend anybody, but this thing has hit and crashed harder than that infamous date coming up in the next 8 days. That’s something I cannot have. But I feel you on the other apps needing just that little boost to make them 💯. Thanks man.

Bro yes, please get fl studio, it’s probably the best hands down. Your work flow means a lot when it comes to beats, having a lap top will be the best decision if you’re serious on music production

@BoloDaProducer when you said beatmaker doesn't export sound well are you saying if I want to export the audio live to another app, or in general like if I'm trying to save a finished track to my device.
