Production

It’s never not been good as far as I know

Just keeps on giving

A fantastic sample engine that makes creating a joy. The pads are great for finger drummers. When making beats or experimental music BM3 is a very powerful workstation.

Great Production Tool

BeatMaker 3 has been a great production tool for me. I have been using it since 2020. I’ve learned a great deal in the tutorials are awesome. It is definitely worth more than the cost. If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to start your Music Production BeatMaker 3 is the way to go.

PLEASE UPDATE

Simply the best if it got meaningful updates

I’m Back Baby!

Let me be clear, this app is really, really good. That being said, it use to crash a lot. But I’ve recently given it another chance and I honestly, honestly can say… it HAS NOT CRASHED since I’ve been back. I believe the last update really made a difference. I hate crashes because they pull me out of the mood to create. This app has regained and renewed my faith in it. Now, if they will continue that structure with maybe another update, which is more of a way to just confirm they haven’t abandoned the DAW like so many other great apps… I’m all in! And YES… I’ll give it that 5th Star!
