BeatMaker 3 - BM3 - Setting up And Getting Started - Demo for the iPad

[@perrypelican9476]

I really like these tutorials that you do. You are good at finding all the important features in apps.it would be cool if you did demos of all the stuff you find in this app. It's complex enough that people will need videos like this to help them get unstuck. Thanks for a good one.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

I will be making more of these demos

[@diversetfb5966]

Thanks Doug!!!! Simplified excellence - again.

[@SyntheticSan]

Will you p,ease make a vid how to use external loops in time line and arrange them?

[@terrytimberlake8926]

Great teaching

[@pdolo101]

this is pretty dope I cant wait to use this program (beatmaker3)

[@alonsojaden6527]

Pro tip: you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.

[@garrettdavion8393]

@Alonso Jaden yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@adrianmartin9675]

@Alonso Jaden yea, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)

[@juelztadeo4391]

@Alonso Jaden Yea, been using flixzone for since december myself =)

[@2.7petabytes]

Thanks for the video. I’ve had this program for some time and the last version as well. One of my complaints about BeatMaker is them changing the interface setup, so much so that one has to almost relearn BeatMaker all over again

[@CodyPMack]

This had me groovin, thanks!

[@Pottateum]

Thanks - additionally A session walk through would have been good though - you can edit tuis video to half the time as well

[@ivonmitchell2015]

How do get the bm3 app on my tablet

[@issiewizzie]

its just crazy ... one of the best grove box app out there ... Native Instruments Maschine watch out

[@Perico_Corleone_1999]

Any news on the iPhone version ?

[@MegaToneProductions]

PLEASE tell me this app has midi clock send/recieve.....I can not find it anywhere in the app.

[@lukewilliams7020]

Great overview tutorial. Apart from using beat maker3 as a sampler it seems that korg gadget is a lot easier to use and does exactly the same things particularly as a sequencer or am I missing something?

[@havokcc]

The synths from korg gadget are very nice, but I don't like the workflow, its very basic. Beatmaker looks better in that aspect in my opinion, its very similar to a desktop daw

[@lukewilliams7020]

Jose Pablo Gómez sometimes simpler is better. I know what you mean but i almost think that that is gadgets power. It looks simple but it is actually very powerful. That's an achievement to make software that does that. Bm3 is very very buggy at the moment and takes a lot more clicks to do simple things that gadget does simply.

[@havokcc]

Yes you are right about gadget, i love how you can get a music progression very easily and everything flows very naturally. I have noticed several buggs with BM3 too. But i think that this app have some potential, i really liked that they included song and scenes view, that you can use other time signatures than 4/4 and how can you load other apps as audio units. But i guess that gadget is still my favorite to sketch song ideas.

[@lukewilliams7020]

Jose Pablo Gómez honestly I'm still in two minds as to which is the better workflow for me. Either using bm3 as a daw hosting gadget. Or gadget as a daw hosting sliced samples from bm3s sampler. Gadget is sooo fast to sketch out a song even to quite an advanced stage with super high quality sounds. The cons are the audio track and sampler being very limited and not being able to use other outside instruments. Using bm3 as the daw with gadget as an au has the advantage that you can host other AUs and have a much larger sound bank and obviously with a super advanced sampler too. So I've been thinking that I may try it that way for a while and se how it goes. But I don't have a super quick work flow in bm3 like with gadget so no matter how good the sampler is and better audio tracks it has it's all about what gets you to the final result more effectively. And I think gadget does that. The layout of the arrangement page in gadget is so smooth compared to bm3 which is clunky and the arrange page is where all the magic happens. But I do see the potential if they iron out all the many bugs. If gadget had au support and you could host bm3 in there then that would be my decision made. Use the clean interface of gadget with the power sampler of bm3 as an au. Confusing....

[@FilipTrenson]

The main difference with Korg Gadget is that it is a closed system. Impossible to load other synths into Korg Gadget. Compare Propellerhead Reason to Ableton Live

[@morenochentaytres]

I’m having an issue using „Synth one from AudioKit“ on BM3 with my ipad pro. As I load synth one, it shows that it’s linked to mb3 but it only shows the key pads and not the entire app. I click the three knobs taping on show plug in and still shows only the Keyboard. Do I have to set up something on bm3 ? Thanks in advance!

[@jaywu_chakra9919]

Do you think its a good idea to put each percussion on a individual pad. Especially when it comes to tweeking?

[@joshelliott6243]

Great! Thanks for this. I have a question. When selecting a region in song view I do not have the cut or copy dialog box that pops up. What am I missing? Thanks

[@slimbeaux]

I know this is late but after seeing you edit on the Akai MPD218 I have seen some things in this app that I can use. So can I hook up my MIDI controller to it or do I have to use the onscreen keyboard.

[@Ryanthemusician]

Can you use a midi keyboard with beatmaker 3

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Ryan Harley Hi Ryan Yes, you can use a midi keyboard or any other controller, but it can be a complex at first setting it up so I made another video a while back to show how to do this in detail, here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYrMk6hvZsiorcU Hope this helps you out.

[@jitao49]

The Sound Test Room nothing in the list。。

[@IsoMacintosh]

Free for few days because NAMM!

[@untouchablecantu4002]

I notice you didn't use a midi ... is it easy to set one up on this app

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Yes, the midi is very very good, it also recognised my Korg Microkey without me actually having to do anything except plug it in. I will be using a keyboard in future sound Pack demos

[@synthanatomy]

untouchable Cantu: Also a pad controller like the LPD8 works great with Beatmaker 3. Visit my channel if you can see how easy you can setup it. Like Doug said, any other MIDI controller works also great :)

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

untouchable Cantu Yes you should definitely visit Toms channel Synth Anatomy, loads of excellent BM3 Tutorials there, really some very interesting stuff, also as an update a few people are experiencing a few problems getting it recognise a few controllers, but would think this will be all sorted in the next update

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

thesoundtestroom great but still a buggy with the note repeat. It wouldn't stop retriggering when you using a controller. Love it with the UVI beat hawk. An Mpc in an Mpc. I wish retronyms sample library was accessible.

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

MIDI is handled nicely

[@umar4937]

Hi, is it possible to add or record your own sounds to beatmaker 3? If i want to create my own drum kit, could i upload all my samples and assign them to the pads/ save them in the program? Thanks.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

umar Yes you can do all that

[@umar4937]

nice. thanks

[@jaywu_chakra9919]

I don't have bm3 yet. Can upload songs from bm2 being that its 16 bit?

[@ebubekirbinici6031]

hey man. i recently made a few melodies on beatmaker 2. i exported them as audio files so i can chop it up and make a beat on fl studio. i chopped it up but when i hit the keys on the midi keyboard/ play pattern mode or even play it in the channel rack it wont play the sound/melody it just rumbles. but when i open the sound it self where that box pops up to edit it itll play the melody/ sound. i dragged and dropped the chop in to the pattern/song mode . instead of being 2-4 bars wav file , it ended up being like 96 bars of just low rumble. how can i fix this? bc when i do this to any other apps sounds i dont have this problem.

[@untouchablecantu4002]

I also seem to be having alil issue with using beat marker 3 and opening beathawk and recording with midi mini mpk 2 it seems to freeze and the sound only works for a few secs and then no sound comes out ? I even had the entire app close before going through the same process when I select plugin option on beat maker 3 and selecting audio units v3 and selecting beathawk once I start using my midi keyboard the sound will completely stop working . Is there somthing I'm doing wrong? I noticed once I hit the last c key on the left on the keyboard everything starts messing up . Midi is working 100% fine if I don't use beathawk as a plugin .

[@Phoniq]

Can you load in Korg Gadget?

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

Phoniq I tried but it doesn't show up yet. The modules do tho.

[@WINTERMUTE_AI]

You can use Gadgets in BM3?

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

vampzim only the modules. Not the modules with in gadget.

[@lukewilliams7020]

mindalteringfx sorry for being slow here but what do you mean only the modules within Gadget? Do you mean you can load for example a Miami gadget and A Helsinki gadget into separate bm 3 pads?

[@lukewilliams7020]

mindalteringfx confused. Would you want to load korg gadget into bm3 or would it be more ideal to load bM3 into Gadget?

[@eqverb6948]

Hi thanks for the review/demo. Which ipad are you using in the video ?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Hi, it's an iPad Air2

[@eqverb6948]

I have an ipad air1 and not yet ready to upgrade. The information that I have been able to get on performance for Air1 has been mixed. 'Would be nice if intua could post some sort of specs regarding performance like WaveMachine does for Auria app. Thanks again

[@ciskid23]

Why are the sound packs I've seen for beatmaker 2 not available in the store for 3?

[@VictorSteiner]

Yeah, this sucks. I bought a lot of soundpacks from Puremagnetik for Ableton Live, but importing everything via dropbox takes long and isn't hassle-free. Is there a way to batch-import hundrets of sample snippets? Maybe via iTunes file sharing?

[@lukewilliams7020]

VictorSteiner do you have to import samples one by one ?

[@VictorSteiner]

Found a way via dropbox, if you select a Dropbox folder it will import the whole folder, just got 1000 analogue bass samples for Ableton Live into Beatmaker. Very cool.

[@lukewilliams7020]

VictorSteiner awesome !

[@Khordmaster]

@@VictorSteiner I would love to learn how to import Ableton live samples into beatmaker Care to share details?!?

[@VictorSteiner]

I tried to work on that song some more and ran into a problem. My new bank is greyed out in song view and no matter how much I record and delete I never hear anything. Sometimes there are no notes after recording but when I click in the "grooved" area in the track midi notes appear in the zoomed in view. Very strange. Can s1 help me? dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/226592/Beatmaker%203%20greyed%20out%20track.PNG

[@VictorSteiner]

Bank G

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

If you look at the top left of your project you will see that it says G STOPPED tap on that and select START SONG

[@pierrenhy3835]

Why do we have to pay for updating beatmaker2 ?

[@drinkinslim]

Because it's a new app, rather than an update to Beatmaker 2. However, it would be nice if they gave Beatmaker 2 owners a much-reduced upgrade price. :/

[@highstyleproductions5112]

I do believe they gave us $10 off at release I mean all this for $20 - $30 anyway!!!! Come on the closest you'll get to this at the cheapest on the computer is buying Maschine $599!!!!

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

Wish Alchemy worked in it:(

[@myst4hire1]

mindalteringfx yeah it's a total bummer that it hardly works with some of the music apps because of the updates. GB Alchemy is ok, but nothing like the original.

[@Yo_whatupwithyou]

A Mac yeah they were bought by Apple and incorporated into logic. It disappeared from the store and reappeared. I feel a little cheated because I bought about $50 worth of packs that I can't use.

[@djthatguysmitty]

Just figured out that you can also type in precise bpms with the keyboard!

[@russellwitter661]

Another iPad embarrassment of riches! Anyone who complains about the price just doesn't get it!

[@57RickH]

I like your video but don’t care for the app, which I find far too busy, being more of a guitar recording type of guy. Good tutorial anyway 👍🏻

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Yes, the app can come across as a bit complex and of course is not everyone’s cup of tea, thanks for the nice comment though 👍

[@anthonymonroe7183]

[@DaveLeedL118]

Just bought the app, now I have a big ass hole on my wallet. Hope it's worth it or 💸
