BEATS LIVE ROCKS etc! ### 2/5 — Gute Beats, aber kaum weitere Funktionen *2020-10-24* Die App versteht sich nach der Beschreibung als Metronom....dafür braucht man die zahlreichen Beats aber nicht. Ich habe erwartet, dass man sich aus den Beats eine Songbegleitung zusammenstellen kann, mit definierten Takt- und Songlängen....leider kann man nicht mal Lieblingsbeats markieren und abspeichern...also sehr wenig Creativpotential und dafür dann einfach zu teuer.. **Developer response:** Hallo! Die app is nur ein metronom mit ein musikalischer feel, und das heist das man nicht mit einem click mitspielt aber mit ein schlagzeuger und percussionist. Wenn man songs machen will gits es Drum Loops HD and Drum Loops HD 2 oder Drum Loops by Steve Gadd (auch unsere apps) mit alle funktionalität für composition, es gibt dann auch fills zusammen mit loops in unterschiedliche genres. In Beats Live gibt es auch die ‘live mode’, um mit zu spielen und loops zu können wechseln. Also, unterschiedliche apps für unterschiedliche Anwendungen. ## Frequently asked questions about Beats Live! ### What is Beats Live!?
