Thank you for doing a refresh on this video. The first one was extremely helpful. However, It would help to zoom the camera to have the iPad mainly in view or screenshot record view of what you're doing/referring to because it's hard to make out what are pointing to on BM3 UI to follow along. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback! I was testing out my new livestream setup when making this video, and the top-down shot is coming from my iPhone. I found a better way of hooking it up which gives MUCH better clarity! Thanks for pointing this out! It should be a lot better going forward!
Awesome video Thanks so couple questions. Everything from melodic samples to kits should go into import folder right? I used kit-maker and converted bunch of kits I had from sample sites and made beat maker 3 kits. Those I should also put in the imports folder correct? The other question I had for everyone is how are you guys managing your sounds. I have a tons of sounds tons of samples and drum kits. the iPad has a good amount of storage but it could get filled up pretty quickly. are you guys deleting packs and sounds you don't use and importing new ones every once in a w while? Thanks in advanced.
Hey Chenchaso, all great questions! You have a bit of freedom when it comes to where you want to put things in your BM3 folders. You can put your kits that you've created into your imports folder, your samples folder, or the purchased folder. I personally put kits in the purchased folder, because that is where BM3 puts the kits that you get out of the sound store and it's just convenient to have them all in the same place. I personally keep all other samples in the imports folder. I am personally not deleting any packs or sounds. Audio files don't tend to take up a ton of room, so I was generally good back when I only had 256GB of storage, but now that I have the 1TB I just don't think about it.
Previewing sounds before selecting is crucial for an immense library. And the available import options is just as important. I am in search of proper music production apps with the most streamlined processes, and brainstorming. So far its koala for importing and trimming, and blocs wave for just a few slices. seGments is the next study, hoping for unlimited slices and quicker implementation into a storm, and launchpad for layering. Slicr looked promising a while ago. But I haven't watched a tutorial yet. Fingers crossed. Thank you for the insight.
Somebody please answer this question bm3 scale lock only apply to the notes on your pad or does it lock your notes to your midi controller keyboard as well
Is there any way to select all samples in a folder and drag them to multiple pads at once? Dragging each sample one by one onto individual pads are a slow and tedious pain.
Thanks for the video! I was wondering, in case you work with cubasis 3 and Beatmaker 3 as well, how do you do with the library? You have to duplicate the samples folder in each root’s app file?
Hey Oh Pee Van! Unfortunately, that is how iOS handles files. It doesn’t allow for shared libraries between apps, so yeah, you have to duplicate them between both apps, which I know does eat up storage.
How would you join adjacent midi clips into one clip on a track? Because the midi clips are split in multiple places long samples sometimes cut out. Thanks
Secondly when i type thing in the samples section of beat maker 3 its not pulling anything up and its pissing me off like if the title has kick in it and i type that in the search the shit doesn’t show up it’s annoying what’s the fix ?
@@MusicTechnologist I actually watched that video before I watched this one. I had the same issue as some of the users in the comments. For some reason sometimes the files drag in but show blank. Sometimes I have to repeat the process 4 or 5 times to get it to work. Seems like it may be a bug.
Interesting. I know BeatMaker 3 has had it’s share of bugs, but more often than not these days, it seems to function very well for me. What hardware are you running it on?
If anyone is using AudioCopy, and trying to import your sound packs into beatmaker 3, there is an easy process to do it, and it will put them all into banks
Love your channel man. So much great info . Thank you
Right on! Keep tuning in! More on the way!

Good video I have a folder call sounds and inside that folder I have everything bbn organize in it's own folder my library is massive 25 gig
Nice! 👍🏽
@@MusicTechnologist watching your video am still having a hard how ever I ve learn a lot from you're videos keep up the good work
How long do your database scans take?
@@jasontaylor404 not long
@@carlosbaker7825 Thanks for the response mine takes hours.
Thanks!
No problem! 👍🏽

The scale lock applies to the on-screen pads as well as any connected midi controller. 👍🏽
Thanks man needed know 💪
I guess it's my 👂 sometime it didn't sound right maybe user error but thanks
Do you know anything about the pattern window? I have not seen a lot of content

I need help! When I import other midis it works but with unisons it doesn’t ! Does the files work with on the iPad?? Btw love your channel

Wish you had showed how to load in an 8 bar midi file. Mine are loading in blank but I know they are good files.
Covered it in this video ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/pkXwbBYRaAg/v-deo.html. Process should be the same regardless of midi file length.

It seems that I bought a bucket of lag when I got bm3. There is no workflow at all. Just lag.

@@MusicTechnologist I’m still trying to figure out what DAW to use when I found out about going DAWless, so I still don’t know.

This process is the weakest link for BM3. If they “fix” this I’ll go back to it. It’s just too tedious.
