BeatMaker 3 for Android

This app is amazing except for the fact that every time I hit save and save as and then exit, when I open the project again it’s empty! All my work lost! Someone help!

Overall I enjoy this program but is still buggy with midi fx. Using apps like scaler 2 in the midi fix tap don’t record the midi to timeline and freezes your session. You can’t record instruments like geo shred due to it being a touch instrument. Also certain midi files can’t be dragged in without freezing your session. I’ve seen dozens of similar complaints online about these same issues for over a year now and still no updates. What was the point of adding this to your program if you weren’t gonna make it work

I asked for this app to be updated almost a year ago for the new Mobile mini’s enhanced screen size and yet still no freaking update. The devs have just ignored this app along with any and all support and just didn’t bother to when the new Mobile was released. Still awaiting but alas it’ll never happen at this point. That’s just sad they can’t do this small thing. Or bother noticing it to begin with. Sad!!! Read the author!

First things first, the interface is very inviting. Setting up and saving banks is a breeze. Using FX sends is intuitive and assigning different functions to macro controls is smooth. I make sample based music for sync and recording artists and compose entirely on my Mobile Pro using BeatMaker 3. I want to see BeatMaker 3 continue to get updates even after version 4! We will support you! At the end of the day the only feature request currently present for myself is to allow lazy chopping of samples in the editor. Thank you for all your support and hard work!

Issue #1: The plugin list is sorted by company name, then alphabetically. There is no other way to sort plugins. You cannot search the plugin list. This is an issue, because I’m used to having plugins listed, alphabetically. On the fly, I can’t think of the plugin’s company name, so it takes me extra time to find plugins in the list. Issue #2: BeatMaker crashes whenever you drag/drop multiple samples on the beat pads. I’d like to be able to drag a folder full of samples on to the drum pads and file up the drum pads with all those samples. Doing so will crash beat maker. Feature request: I’d really like it if there was a “right-click” option to assign a knob value to all knobs on the drum pads. For example, if I change the ADSR release knob on one drum pad to 100ms, I’d like to be able to go to the long-tap menu and click “Assign value to all pads. Beat maker is a unique DAW, which to me kind of resembles Ableton, which is familiar to me. I’ve used several other iOS DAWs, like Cubasis, NanoStudio, and Audio Evolution. Based on the current price ($28), I would say that the price is fair, based on the features it has.
