This is the best DAW not only on iPad but any platform. I am an Ableton/Logic guy on Mac and and Auria guy on iOS but the sheer power and ease of creating great music was instantly apparent on Beatmaker 3. I never considered the previous versions as they were considered "toys" but Beatmaker 3 is the real deal. I don't ever write reviews so this is rare. Thanks INTUA!!

Hands down the best DAW on the iPad. Whoever says an iPad is not capable of full music productions has not used BM3!

Have Fallen In-Love with BM3.. 🙂 ❤️

I think so.. Everyday I'm discovering new features and new ways of doing things with this app. I have to pause at times to let it sink in.. In other apps when I think about a particular task, - I usually have to switch apps, in BM3 I can mostly remain in there and do the things (i) need to do. And the best part is some of the things I want to do are in my head and I can work out if it can be done in BM3. 99% of the time it can. It, is working with me! It's not too complex, but is capable of some real depth! Loving the adventure. Be glad when I know it inside out, and it's fully stable. Since buying I have deleted around 20 other apps (20 household name apps), some to make space/room and some because BM3 does what they did, - and there's more to go. Glad to see this latest update, it puts a lot of things into perspective. Great! "Everything takes time" It's brilliant! Cheers, Intua, 🙂

The Ultimate IOS DAW & The Only One With Ableton Link!

This is one serious DAW intimidating at first with the vast depth ness but once you learn it the sky is the limit on your creativity ! A must have for every serious IOS musician! I highly recommend this app!

Awesome

Its a awesome peace of work INTUA gave us right here! Love in every details. Its like Ableton Live and Native Instruments Maschine have a baby.

MPC X & Beatmaker 3

Beatmaker 3 is a beast app, Love the workflow, just got my MPC X and the combination of these two platforms is like the ultimate sampling setup, there is nothing else i need to create. Very happy with Beatmaker 3... keep up the good work!

Regularly updated!

I love the app; it makes my iPad a competitor with my MPC live. No joke. What I REALLY love, though, is that this app came out months after the MPC live, but it's been updated multiple times with increasingly expanded functionality whereas Akai are silent and scarce with updates. I can't wait for the iPhone version!

Dope

This has everything I need. It’s Reason, Maschine, Ableton, all in one. I haven’t used my computer since I got this app. This is dope. Don’t buy the new maschine or mpcx. Buy a iPad (pro) & beat maker 3 and go crazy. I love the slice to all pads feature. This app is dope!

The music app we all love - incredible much!

Two month after the release of Beatmaker 3.0, Intua has thrown out three big updates of Beatmaker 3... And, the v.3.03 seems to be the update that we’ll been wsiting on! Now this app is stable, fabulous and totally addictive! If you only should buy one music app this year, I recommend this to 100%... Love from Sweden!

My MPC of Today

Since the late 80's I've been using Drum machines, samplers and grooveboxes to produce music. I'm highly familiar with the MPC60, 2000, and 3000 having owned them over 20 years. Since 2006 I've been working solely on the computer with Reason, Protools, and Logic. With all I look for ease of use and a careful way to back up my material. In 2007 I bought an iPod touch, MPC500, DSI, and a PSP began downloading apps to make beats on the go. BeatMaker 3 is by far the best of all. It works much like an MPC or a DAW plus you can cut paste audio from other iPad instruments. The work flow is fun easy to use and you can back up your work. Nice work INTUA!

DAW made for the touch interface

This app is pretty spectacular...where to begin. After dragging my feet over purchasing BM3 for weeks, I finally pulled the trigger and couldn’t be more thrilled. Initial impressions:1. Speed: this app is fast. I’ve noticed significantly less lag compared to other similar apps. On top of that the workflow is streamlined - everything is one tap away with no load times for virtually anything.2. Live Potential: right away all the live performance features pop out at you - assignable macros, 64 pad grid, easy controller mapping, etc. 3. Best sampler around: it does everything and is so convenient. Import & save sounds from other IAA apps, slice a sample into 16 pads with one touch, and EQ your samples all in one placeI have more to dive into but I can see I’ll be using this app quite a bit in the coming months, can’t wait to find out what else it can do.

Changed my life

The best. I have been making electronic / sample based music for over twenty five years. I am finding it hard to express just how amazing the experience of growing with this app over the past few months has been. The update frequency and quality has been amazing. In seven years of iOS music app addiction I have never seen anything like this. Now that I have BM3 I went from being an app junkie desperately seeking ‘the answer’ to this is all I need. No crazy routing between apps and weirdo daisy chaining/midi solutions. Just BM3 and a small handful of AUs. Four iPads and 2 grand or so in apps later and this is the cherry on top that made it all worth it. No more DAWs, no more whining, just BM3 and smiles.

I just wanted to say thank you for BeatMaker 3. It is absolute perfection and it doesn’t take long to realize how much thoughtful attention went into making it. Long tired of beat machine and linear tracking approaches that have fast become boring and limited as well as lack of proper AUv3 support, I was certain that BeatMaker 3 was going to be just another dull attempt to savor my little pittance of money for another tedious go at “the future” of producing. Instead, what I have found is that this is truly inspirational. It is a massive leap forward and I couldn’t be more thrilled. In all honesty I have spent exactly one day working within it’s realm and I can hardly believe something this good really exists. You have successfully reinvigorated my creative spark and I wake today eagerly chomping at the bit to dive in deeper. Thank you. Thank you so very much.
