Making a sample library..
hi I am new to iOS world and exited to join with BM3! I used to use Ableton and reason and have big sample libraries in my desktop folders. I recently got rid of my mackbook and am starting music production from scratch on iOS iPad gen 6. I just downloaded AudioShare and Dropbox but not sure what the heck these are for. I just want a few choir samples and guitar feedback samples from the web and tried to download from free sound.org but it does not seem to go to my Dropbox though I selected it to. In time I want stuff again from loop masters cymatics splice and of course free sights as well for more homegrown sounds.
Here’s the question. Going from Mac to iOS how do I get sounds so I can load into the sampler ?I am getting a headache. Any tutorials or ... how do you all get your samples? It was so easy won a laptop to put in desktop folders. I want my own sound library like I had on the Mac. thanks in advance! I am excited to begin iOS production 😃

Correction so easy with a laptop
Dropbox works for me (on Beatmaker2), but reading the reviews from the app store I noticed a lot of people mentioning issues with Dropbox on BM3. Another quick option may be using an FTP like FileZilla.
iOS 13 (iPadOS) will bring a number of new ways to get files into BM3.
Just today, I was using the beta version of iPadOS to transfer samples wirelessly from my desktop PC to my Beatmaker samples folder via SMB share.
It worked flawlessly.
One way to get samples on to your iPad without
a laptop is to use your router if your router has a USB port.
I've been using FileExplorer free and importing samples
and saving projects using ,'Samba'.
It takes a minute to setup but once up and running
is very useful.
Bear in my mind I've done this using USB keys rather than a harddrive.
I haven't tried iOS13 yet, this method is working in iOS 12.3.1.
