Beatmaker1

The F/X menu - where you can edit and tweak your recording. Although the buttons tend to be a little hard to press, the functionality of the app is still great.

Beatmaker2

The sound sequencer - where you put the song together. Simply tap a block to enter a loop, and tap it again to remove it.

The sampler - the 16 multitouch pads allow you to creatively put a loop together, and easily show off to your friends.

Beatmaker4

The pattern sequencer - an easy to use (and pretty) menu in which you can manually edit loops.

Beatmaker5

Cut and chop your loops with your fingers.

The_good


  • Beautifully designed
  • Great functionality - you forget that you're using an iPhone and feel like your at a recording studio
  • Highly integrated with the iPhones touch capability
  • Extensive kit library
  • All the audio tools actually work...it's not just for show

____________________________________________________________________________

The_bad


  • The buttons often don't react quickly enough
  • Instructions provided by the developer are rather vague
  • The sound quality isn't great when using speakers
    • But with headphones, it's perfect
  • The syncing app for the computer is still in Beta testing and hasn't been released yet (as of July 15th)

Thanks for reviewing BeatMaker. I was not sure if you want to buy it from App store

WOW, I am new to iPhone. I used Palm and later blackberry. Beatmaker is the app I was looking for, this app is better then any game. Super Monkey ball step a side, hello Beatmaker.

Hey guys thanks for the BeatMaker video...I wasn't ready to shell out 20$ until seeing a demo.

I love it, I also came across these FREE BEATMAKER Kits, which i want to share!
