Just about any music app at 50% is a no brainier but it just so happens that Cubasis gives you a crazy good value in terms of included sampled instruments and a synth with probably somewhere around 150 amazing presets. Not my job to explain to you how it works. You want to complain about cluttered menus, fair game, BM3s side pane menu has got to be the most hideous abuse of screen real estate since the dawn of time.Ĭubasis does have audio quantisation. At this point I want to temper that suggestion and completely disagree with him. BM3 has a misleading name, and Cubasis is an easier "my first DAW." Jacob Haq, unfortunately, gave BM3 a bad vibe and made Cubasis seem like the way to go. Most of all, working with a DAW is a major time investment - importing samples, getting all the settings right, learning all the quirks while you destroy projects, getting interrupted in your workflow because there is a key function burried somewhere in an obscure menu - at which point you feel stale and loose your creative motivation for the night.īottom line.
There are many other things you can spend your iPad app money on than another DAW - AUv3's, midi routing, FX, etc. I don't agree with this way of thinking at all. You're going to get your money's worth out of it if you just commit to learning to use it, even just to master or trim a track. So if you don't know how all this works, I would suggest maybe going from garageband to Cubasis.
#AUDULUS 3 TUTORIAL IPAD HOW TO#
However, I have spent a lot of time over the past few years watching tutorials and teaching myself how to use a DAW and how to mix audio, build synthesizers etc., etc. So far though, I think that I was very wrong about this. But the thing is, I assumed this when I bought it and I assumed, because of the hideous title - Beatmaker 3 - that Cubasis was better suited to my needs as a person who integrates real instruments into his recordings. I don't see what is better about it other than its reputation with traditional guitar type recording (being that traditional rock guys lean more towards simple amp vst's as opposed to ultra deep effects modulation programming. There is no audio quantizing in Cubasis, so no advantage there. " Cubasis is better for audio track sequencing (eg working with live instruments and vocals" Now lets address the first sentence again, because it is a common assumption but I think it may be false: No need for flashy faceplates that waste space and clutter up the organization of parameter settings. I also like the simplicity of the graphics in the on board effects in BM3. Not a huge fan and that was the point when I decided to get BM3. So you are left with the on board sampler in Cubasis 2. However, there are no good AUv3 samplers yet. I also like to make samples in Reaktor on my laptop and then import those. I have a large collection of drum samples on my laptop and I will be importing those into BM3. I work mainly with Audulus 3, KQDixie, Phosphor 2 and like to use soft synths to generate my drums and keys. I have no interest in the IAP's in Cubasis 2. Cubasis doesn't resize AUv3's when you get rid of the onscreen keyboard.
#AUDULUS 3 TUTORIAL IPAD FULL#
Some AUv3's actually resize to full screen (I have a midi keyboard, so I don't need the on screen one taking up space). Screen real estate is much better on BM3. But I have just got BM3 and I don't know how well it will do as I get into things. So I was worried that when I got something more complex going (as you do when you compose a track) the DAW would really start to get laggy. I was finding that on an iPad Mini 4 I was having to freeze tracks down to audio stems and I was only just getting started on creating a track. It also means I can be spinning Electro in Traktor with Ableton Link keeping everything in time. Because the iPad is not stable, having my Macbook running Abeton and having the iPad running BM3 means that if the iPad crashes, I can still keep something going on my Macbook. So Beatmaker 3 has itself set up for this.Ībleton Link is also a no brainer, so far as I'm concerned and Cubasis 2 does not have Ableton Link. Also, the potential to preform when you have clips set up is nice. But, coming from Ableton I missed the clip building in session view. I do like the simplicity of Cubasis and the support staff on the forums are good. In a nutshell, Cubasis is better for audio track sequencing (eg working with live instruments and vocals).
