Perhaps you could post a step by step how to in this thread for others who might find this post in the future. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Ok, here we go:
You need:
pc, free Software filezilla, your iphone/iPad.
All my Music Content was placed on my iPhone.
So i started Beatmaker and loaded One Song.
In bm2 i chose the sharing Button above.
There you can find the button "file transfer".
You will see an information window which shows the IP adress and port
of your iPhone and the User and password you need to start the
connection between your pc programm filezilla and the iPhone.
The space where your personal content Is saved on your iPhone Is reachable through FTP access.
So you easily connect witz filezilla to your iPhone and mark all folders+files you want to copy to your pc.
I had to change the transfer mode to "binary" to copy all files.
So then i had a copy of all files on my pc.
Now i started the file transfer on bm2 on my iPad. Here i easily copied
all files from pc to my iPad.
Thats all. I remembered this was exactly the way i copied the bm-soundfiles and
my private samples TO my iPhone ....hehe... I forgot.....
Thank you for the follow up. I'm sure it will prove useful to others. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
@savage: hm - i think this is not a BIG problem, isnt it ?
ok, you mean it's a problem when you edit one song on iPad then this song should sync automatic to your iPhone.
Yes-this would be great. @dusty:
But saving on Dropbox means that iPhone/iPad have to look weather there are some changes and then do a download to your device ?!
Hm. What if you put 1GByte samples on your iPad?
Then your iPad will start uploading 1 GB samples to Dropbox?
This isn't really a problem but it would be a great feature and it would put BM2 in a different league from it's competitors. Given Apple's iCloud strategy its only a matter of time before cloud syncing is a standard feature on most major mobile apps. Cloud syncing is a killer feature in OneNote (which I use for Project Management) and I can't tell you how dependent I've become on it.
Yes it might be necessary to have a some sort of comparison to ensure that you are working on the latest version of the track but there are many ways to do this and in my experience it's not that difficult of a task. File date comparison, hash check, etc. Depending on the Dropbox API it might be possible to do a file comparison check and only update/upload changes (in this case new samples & modified files)
As for the 1gb question that wouldn't be an issue. You can't have a BM2 song with 1gb of samples, a BM2 song size will be limited to the amount of available ram on the iDevice. But you do have a good point, file size will eventually become a problem. If dropbox's sync doesn't perform file compression, it might need to be implemented in BM2.
