    overall...a fantastic product..love it..cannot play without it..

    Personally, I've never been a fan of drum machines but I understand that its not practical to have live drums for most venues or gigs. This looks like a pretty good solution, simple and intelligent operation and not too big.

    Thanks for the demo. I am glad I was sick and didn't pull the trigger on Black Friday for the Beat Buddy Mini. Your voice compression on the video was just a little annoying, but I was able to get by that and your demo of the devices answered all of my questions. THANK YOU. 🤬 Now I have to spend over twice what I was going to pay and buy the big brother version of the peddle. I would hate myself for going the cheaper route and I do look forward to producing some great music with it before I die. 😂

    I use the Beatbuddy Mini and it has the same problems as the Beatbuddy with regard to live performance. In a live situation it is important to change the drum genre and tempo quickly. This isn’t possible with these pedals unless you bend down and adjust them between songs. Another problem, when playing rhythm guitar as I do, is that double pressing to end is very awkward for many songs. I’ve modified my Beatbuddy Mini to insert another pedal, not in the pedal socket supplied, which emulates the button on the pedal. This means I have my pedal on a stand where I can adjust it standing upright and conversing with the audience but a can still operate the pedal with my foot. This still doesn’t address the double press to end though. I now have another socket to add another single pedal with some simple electronics that emulate a double tap of the pedal. It requires a battery and I have fitted a rechargeable battery. This has solved my problems. It would be really super if you could come up with something similar in both your pedals just for us live musicians. Thank you.

      I know it's not always optimal, but it sounds like you can solve those issues with a midi pedal. More gear to carry, but many more possibilities using MIDI along with the peddle. For recording, as well. And 24 bit drums! I'm pretty much sold on the Beat Buddy big boy. (Sorry, wifey, but you married a musician for better or for worse.)

    David: really great product. Have you noticed every demo of your product has people using their hands on those grotty foot switches? Hummm… Beat Buddy Studio. Just change the form factor to desktop for those of us (recording studios, etc) that don't want this thing on the floor. Switches become pads. No R&D, that's it, just change the package. You could go crazy and break out the MIDI to individual IN/OUT/THROUGH jacks.

    In the market for a beat machine. It's between the BeatBuddy and the Trio +. If you guys had a looper on this, I'd get two. It sounds great. I recently purchased a Zoom GX3 and it only has a 40 second loop time which is ridiculously short. Need more time to learn from my many mistakes. Hahaha. Good luck, David. Great tutorial as well.

    • @zazz63

      If you took all the best bits of each looper and combined it with a beat buddy you would have another great seller ...all the loopers presently excell at one thing or another but they also fail at one thing or another also.

    • @sweetwater

      Hi, Stephen. If you were going to run the pedal in-line with other effects, I would put the BeatBuddy last. That way it isn’t getting affected by the other pedals in the chain.

    If you are thinking of live performance in semi-loud situations the additional footswitch is fine. However, be warned, the switches make an awful noise. I would not take them into the studio for recording. Their tech man checked out my video and said that the level of noise was 'normal' for them. You can hear the clunk of the switch as well as the squeak of the spring, all amplified by the enclosure.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Рік тому

      Hi, thanks for your interest! No, the BeatBuddy doesn’t have the ability to isolate specific parts of a recorded track. It’s really designed to be a practice and/or performance tool for guitarists needing a drum machine. I’m not aware of any pedal that has the functionality you’re describing, but AI algorithms in software are getting quite good at “unmixing” recorded music - you might check out iZotope Ozone for a great example of this:

      I hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

      @sweetwater  Рік тому +1

      Hey, Christopher. Thanks so much for your interest. There isn’t an on/off switch since it is a pedal and it designed for the signal to pass through the pedal. You can start/stop with your foot but the pedal itself will still be on unless you unplug it. But if you do that, the signal will not flow through.
      I hope this helps.

      Hi, Mark. You can run through the Beat Buddy like a normal guitar pedal and into an amp if you want. That being said, guitar amps weren't really designed with drum machines in mind, so the sound quality might be lacking. Most people who use these run them into a PA, drum amp, or keyboard amp.
