As a Logic user, GarageBand is only good for starting an idea any and everywhere (like sitting on the toilet or just sitting somewhere stuck in traffic) then just importing the basic idea into Logic. Playing the actual instruments on the iPad or iPhone screen is actually great too.

I am still blown away at the fact you can produce on ANYTHING Your brain is mad intelligent 💪🏽

Koala sampler is my go to on the iPad. Adding your own sounds and sampling is crazy plus the fx are damn near sp404 level (for an app). You can separate stems, import youtube videos as samples…crazy

I’ve been using GarageBand since the iPad 1 (which I still have) and until I got my MPC it was my main jam. I like generating ideas with the Launchpad app too.

I don’t ever see everyone else’s notifications but KZfaq always makes sure yours is there

such a helpful video, thank you

Appreciate the info💪🏿

BM3, Korg gadget and blocs wave for me. Dope list Bolo 💪🏽

I hope they hear you on these things that I would also like them to fix or upgrade or whatever. Thank you Bolo. 👍🏽

Big Salute Bolo. I copped Beat Maker 3 on the strength of you o=with your iPad set up. Dope app!

informative vid fam thanks

iMPC Pro 2 is my favorite. I have made music on the go with this one for quite some time.

GREAT LIST!

What's good Bolo! Top of the morning from the west coast!

You Spoke Real Facts On Them IOS Apps ( Especially BeatMaker 3 )

I agree with you about BM3.. The only thing that I’ve been a little frustrated with is not knowing how to do zero crossing for samples to get the clicks and pops out. Maybe it’s because m fairly new to the program.

I use it all the time it comes pretty handy. And you're right they could have done a better .

Thx bro

Myself i mainly use beatmaker 3 and GarageBand. I’m surprised though you didn’t have Cubasis 3 in top 3 list. I haven’t used it myself but from demos I’ve seen of it it’s a top shelf program. With apps like eg pulse and segments you can still sample and have that mpc style drums. Being the cost of it is only reason I haven’t tried it out myself

I love your videos

I bounce back and forth between garageband and BM3. Then finish in Logic.

The mobile band lab sampler is pretty good...I thought it was garbage until I hit the edit button I didn't notice it had and it's actually pretty handy and easy to use.. pretty limited but I like that as limits breed creativity

BM3 for starting projects in the production faze then exporting the stems for mixing and arrangement in Cubasis 3…. Best combo on iOS platform imo…

Beatmaker 3 is what I use and its amazing.. I don't find any issues with sound quality at all. Just throw a good limiter and compressor on the master track and your gold 👊

I have to check BM3 out because it seems to get a lot of love. For me the top 3 Android apps I dabble with are: Bandlab Koala Sampler n-Track Studio Cubasis 3 seems really good but I don't feel like spending $30 on it. Around 8-10 years ago I was using a good one called Pocketband but they shut down a few years ago. I made my first album worth of music entirely on PB before eventually moving on to Garageband.

Beatmaker3 is a game and life changer!! Before I was using reason and all other propeller head programs for years until I found Beatmaker3. Never went back.

I stepped back from iPad producing over the last year. It's still highly underrated though! Beatmaker 3 is one of the best and hasn't been updated in like 10 years! Standing the test of time. 😂

GarageBand & BM3 doing it right now

I appreciate this bro! I’m looking for the best bang for my mobile buck, as far as creating skeleton beats to send to my producers. The easier the better. I just need to create concepts.

those are good . AUM .. you could combine and sync a lot of those

Bolo when is the next beat review, I made a beat specifically for it, it’s a placement beat but this shit is fire, proper hooks, verses and bridge, repeat, shit is fire fire

What's up Bolo!!! My BM3 trick for punch is..export stems to audio, bring them back in and add post effects!! Automatic 👊🏾👊🏾

Beatmaker 3 🙏💕

Totally agree with your take on GarageBand. It definitely could be better. I only recently figured the (sections) part out which was very confusing at first. Overall It’s much different workflow/UI vs desktop version so I didn’t get into it for several months. Nano Studio could be great as well and I agree the sounds are pretty darn good and it has limitations as you mentioned. Been rocking with BeatMaker3 since day 1 but I ran into too many crashes in the several months. Switch to Cubasis for a bit and that too was crashing. So I stop using my iPad Pro (2018 version) out of frustration and try to go back to creating on a barely capable 2013 MBPRO. (You see my where my frustration is heading…😫😫😫). As a result, I’m working on upgrading to possibly a 14/16 inch MBP as I feel I can create more fluidly on my laptop. I absolutely love the portability and capability of what the iPad Pro can off for music production as I do believe it is the future as APPLE continue to transitions with the OS platforms for cross capability. Also I hope to see more future videos showcasing your workflow around these 5 iOS DAW apps. And yes, I have watched every single one of your BM3 videos since day 1 (way before I owned an iPad) and now I use them references.

Great Video, which IOS app would you recommend for a beginning music beat make, I have played a little with LMMS on the desktop but I feel like I need more of an introductory level app. Thx for any advice...... I guess I'll just keep watching videos.

My go to is Beatmaker3, but actually Akai 1&2pro have a impresive output coming out from it. Bolo what you think? 🤔

I actually like the sound engine of BM3

What do you think about the cubasis for ipad?

Spot on... Garageband, iMPC, and FL on iOS all suffer from the same problem... way to limitting and dumb workflows... BM3 and Nano Studio are both highly useable!

yes that is nice and thank you , ,,, what about your iPhone? which apps? :)

Someone should make the sampler and drum pad workflow from BM3 as an AUv3 and rake in the money bags 💰

I don't know how you could favor impc, FL mobil, or. Garage band over drambo and cubasis 3. You must do most stuff with bm3.

Ever try cubasis3 bro?

What’s happenin Bolo much love. Quick question bruh do you think Intua will ever upgrade the sound engine on bm3? I’m so glad you made this video bruh I had been workin in bm3 since 2021 and just thought my mixing was garbage. Watched this vid and it let me know I ain’t crazy and the sound engine needs help. Grabbed a mpc one the other week and the difference is crazy. It just take hardly no work to make the beat sound crisp. I find the MPC workflow a lil extra but getting faster with it everyday. Bm3 almost seem like abandon ware at this point but I’ll shell out another $30-50 for bm4 in a heartbeat

Plus I be downloading some stuff from the net, that’s the only negative for me about GarageBand that it doesn’t have enough quality sounds

Can you go over the top 5 plug-ins next. I just wanna know if Mixbox is there.

Native instruments Imaschine!

Fax og

On nano studio I was speaking on

Beat maker three is the best one i love the sampler the sound engine does suck but it's good to start with if you have nothing else.

I wanna hear your thoughts on Cubasis

TYSM IM IN IPHONE I WANTED TO MAKE MUSIC SO TYSM

If Akai got with Retronyms to make iMPC 3 and make it an iOS version of the MPC standalone software while setting up the Studio 2 to use it by default, we'd have a bit of winner here.

fl studio mobile became trash after they updated it from using the music studio based app. it actually resembled fl studio on a pc and had a very similar workflow... now it looks more like a dark mode ableton

bm3 and cubasis 3 are my go to. will you be doing anymore bm3 videos?

I’m thankful for this video Bolo, but this video sounds more like a rant than an applause. Don’t get me wrong, I feel ya 💯. But I can’t get with BM3 or as I like to call it, Sir Crash A Lot. Not to offend anybody, but this thing has hit and crashed harder than that infamous date coming up in the next 8 days. That’s something I cannot have. But I feel you on the other apps needing just that little boost to make them 💯. Thanks man.

In GarageBand is there any difference between ipad and ipad air

Bro thanks I’m tryna start my own beat making and becoming a rapper so thanks

I wonder if beatmaker 2 is good im on iPhone 3 not out yet

Garage band is legendary 🔥 in the right hands if I say so

Caustic3 is dope for Android

beat maker 3 is the best. been using for a few years now. IOS taking over.

I am 67 jears now when we start making music we work with tapes machines Tascam Revox Studer etc we only had EQ and Reverb because the machines were so expensive

As far as pitching the drums you can open it on the keyboard

I'm surprised I didn't hear about cubasis 3. But yeah, everybody got their own taste.

Sounds what is a get around for the sound quality with BM3, i want to get it but i don't want to deal with that as a beginner. Am i better off getting a laptop DAW?

Can you use beat maker for songs?

Nanostudio is dope, but limited, mostly because it’s developed by one guy in the UK, not a big company. That makes it both impressive and frustrating. The updates take forever, because it’s just one guy

Bro you already tried Korg Gadget2???? Is a Killer Machine 🔥🔥🔥🔥

GarageBand is highly underrated however it does have its flaws with using a lil autotune and the best progressions

But who would want to beat you up though Bolo? 🤔 I’d be scared😳.

BM3 is the 🐐it’s literally replaced logic for me 💯

Yea the sound engine need some work.

Hope the developers listen!

I use slate for audio in Nanostudio2 and it does a decent job, that’s where I put my tag!!

Koala is the big dog!!

Have you guys ever used Caustic 3?....the app is lit

I kinda like your set of 5 however, I was wonder how come you didn't add Cubasis 3 or Koala Sampler. Have you tried those? My Top 5 iOS Production Apps Would Be... 1___ BeatMaker 3 2___ Cubasis 3 3___ Koala Sampler 4___ FL StudioMobile 5___ GarageBand

How do you feel about Cubasis 3? I actually use that as my main DAW in my iPad along with GarageBand, PS I don’t know why a lot of people sleep on garage band, it’s a decent quality DAW with a ton of sounds and it’s free.

What do u mean u can't import audio to nano 2? I'm asking because I'm considering getting it and it's one of the only ios daws I've found that allows for tempo changes in the middle of a track

@BOLODAPRODUCER - Does BM3 have an "explode" track feature like Akai? I.E. build a pattern with different pad sounds on one track and then explode them to others without recording each track individually.

Does any of these mobile apps have the option for 808 slides,

Is beat maker 2 good for iPhone?

Try the IMaschine

Let's see what the update for Beatmaker 3 will be like.

Roland Zenbeats is my new go to mobile DAW, I'm on Android tho, it's on iOS, give it a try, it's better than FL Mobile

@BoloDaProducer when you said beatmaker doesn't export sound well are you saying if I want to export the audio live to another app, or in general like if I'm trying to save a finished track to my device. I'm asking because I mostly live/travel out of my backpack and I want to be able to create high quality music with what I have available which is mostly just my I pad. I'm working on getting a mini pc that I can run desktop programs on but If I can learn how to produce high quality content on my iPad b4 moving over to a desktop that would b ideal

I like your hat.

I’m just starting out what should I use

Yooo haha this is YOU🦾🦾💕💕👐🙌🙌 you’re a legend.. first time seeing you 💯💯💯

Got a new phone lost my audio on AudioShare can you help me?

I can’t agree with you on GarageBand I’ve been making good ass beats on it for a year now, it all depends on how you use it, and adapt to the tools it offers

That FL Studio icon looks familiar… Is that the evolution of Fruity Loops??? (I was messin’ around with it, I don’t know, probably 20 years ago, when I was young and stupid. 😅)

Would you still recommend BeatMaker 2? I bought it but never had a look inside. I know BM3 will be better, and if you think I should start with BM3 I'll buy it 🔊

I thought you abandoned the ipad

#RiseUp

Does anyone know why BeatMaker 3 is not on the App Store? I’m trying to buy it but only BM2 is available.

You picked Garage Band over Cubasis… and no iMaschine

It’s crazy watching a TOP 5 video and hearing “ehh I’m not feeling it” from the person who called it top 5

Have your top 5 changed since logic dropped
