Pros and cons of BeatMaker app for iPhone and iPad

BeatMaker app good for

Finally it looks like my investment is beginning to pay off. with the itunes store running rampant with programs that are not ready for a price tag what so ever, BeatMaker is doing some good things to audio production. Any chance the built-in sampling feature can use some noise cancellation without the new iPhones double mic set up? Would make live recordings sound that much better. Thanks team

Jai essayé toutes les autres iApps. tout et dans le titre de mon post. Ive tried all other iApps. All is on this post title.

Unfortunately, its a good app but if you want something new, you need to RE-buy it. Apple shouldnt approve selling the version 2 for those who bought the previous one. New versions should be free updates. SHAME ON YOU INTUA!

BeatMaker is great fun and combined with Multi Track DAW a perfect match. The only thing I miss on BeatMaker is an update with multitasking!!! It is really annoying to start from the beginning over and over again. Besides that I could not have expected more from a "to go" Beatmachine ;)

Loading your own hard beats on putting loops together listning to it on car stereo while jamming down the street Is KEY and essential either 4 work or play

This is the best app Ive ever bought off the appstore the quaility and graphics are amazing $20 is actually pretty cheap for this great app. I can now create music wherever I go. Its really great this is a must buy!

Some bad moments

You expect me to pay for a high priced app again? Are you serious? You cant be...

I paid this App. few days before the new release published. No hint, no upgrade, no fairness. Thanks for nothing!

Not bad. Sample sets are kind of meh. Interface is pretty good esp the mpc style pads and step seq, but nothing more than a toy really and not worth the price.

After OS4 update it crashes Everytime.. Completely unusable... Dont buy if u have a 3GS + OS4...

Dropping product pricing by 50% is the sign of a rogue. BeatMaker made me realize that I dont want to make plonk-plonk on a touchscreen. $10 to realize that is OK w/ me.

Ths is great app but you should be able to edit and cut patterns so you dont have empty space and should r have to rely on filling the bars please fix this Also more samples please
