Not for musicians

I’m a flautist and violinist, not a computer tech. After spending three hours (with the help of AI) only to find that the function i need MIGHT be behind a paywall, i quit. Not spending real money for something that might be there. If it dont work at the free level, im defintely not buying a deluxe disappointment

Decent

Really helped me test sounds for a zenology bank I’m making, however I can’t export svz, FX are minimal and so are tones. Please make an app that lets you create zenology banks with a quicker work rate on iOS.

Adaptive plz! Exellent!!!

Presque parfait

Zenbeats corrige un certain nombre des limitations que l'on rencontre avec GarageBand: support des AUv3 MIDI, et est globalement beaucoup plus ouvert.
Il y a par contre un gros point noir concernant les pistes audio : aucun son ne rentre dans les effets audio affectés à ces pistes.
L'app est donc inutilisable en tant que DAW complet, mais excellente pour tout ce qui concerne les instruments virtuels.

動作がかなり軽い。ただ導線が良くない。

まず改善して欲しいことから。

AUv3プラグインは、一度スキャンかけないとzen beats内で認識されない仕様みたいです。起動時にスキャンするか、その都度尋ねるかした方が良いと思います。
説明読まない人は、付属音源しか使えないと思い込み、起動時に音源パック購入画面を見ているのもあって課金圧を感じて、他のアプリに行ってしまう可能性がありますね。

動作は非常に軽い。Logic for iPad/Cubasisよりも確実に軽い。
個人的には、Audio/MIDIをメインアプリに持っていく前段階での調整が目的なので大満足です。
PC/MACや他のアプリへ、エクスポートしやすい。
これ1つで全てやろうとすると不満点出るかもしれません。
