Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Great post @EyeOhEss
You summed up the exact feelings of many of BM3's biggest fans (including myself) right there.
umm and which update version # was that?
The current one is best for me. Least crashes and it has a transient slicer.
Didn't read the whole thread, but where's the iPhone version that was promised with the introduction of BM3 which was 2 years ago?
Oh, you dear sweet child.... 😊
I don’t see many folks using both Auria Pro AND NS2 on here. What does Auri Pro do for you that NS2 doesn’t?
Auria shines at audio related tasks (editing, mixing), NS2 at the moment is lacking audio tracks, but probably one of the most stable, flexible midi sequencer. Once audio tracks are delivered for linear sequencing it will set new standard for iOS DAWs imo.
...until recently, Fabfilter plugins...
And, busses, realtime non destructive midifiltering, real diskstream sampler etc etc...
@ErrkaPetti : Oh yeah.. that... lol... Thanks for reminding me👍😉
It's definitely the most stable.
The older versions had a heap of issues that I think people are just forgetting.
There is complaints about the monitoring but when recording audio tracks with the old versions it would double/triple monitor when you recorded aka a good way to blow up your monitors and audio routed through the inserts all the time is not exactly pro even though it suited some people better.
Lol
Lots of blood spilled and I understand the frustrations. But the transient slicer works well and is the best option on iOS for me. Worth the $14.99 I spent? Without question.
Hell yah. I got my monies worth out of BM3 several times over now. I paid somewhere around 20$ cad and probably had an average of 15 hours of entertainment a week from it... so... math... like 1400hrs of entertainment (minus the two months of NS2 distraction) so far?
Yah good deal.
The transient slicer is very sensitive, even to 0% it detects many slices , making impossible to chop long loops to less than 16 slices . Plus a dozen other subjective missing features
Yep I find it practically useless. Not only that but I find myself still having to adjust by eye anyway.
huh, seems to get me 75-100% of the way there.
Sorry. This is all just meaningless gibberish. Actions speak louder. I’ll believe it when I see it. No sooner.
Same here. It's not perfect but it saves me a bunch of time getting close. Perhaps I'm some kind of simpleton.
If your main reason to have Beatmaker is to sample and else export AppleLoops/BeatMaker loops (i.e. with embedded slice info and tempo information) does BeatMaker 3 add anything to what BeatMaker 2 offers?
I'm not saying they should lol?
Just that all of the releases have had problems. Just some that BM3 "experts" never acknowledged because it didn't occur in their workflow because they weren't tracking real instruments via an audio interface to audio tracks.
Yeah that's kind of obvious. But nobody gives Vincent credit for what he did fix which was quite substantial (stability especially AU fx crashes) they just shit on him for what he broke.
Nobody really calls out MG for not coming to the rescue either. Maybe that wasn't possible but he never gave any real explanation other than no longer being on the project.
Broken record...
Nevermind
