BeatHawk

Beathawk is by far one of the most amazing music workstations apps available! The sound collection is beyond worthy by themselves. The 4 stars is because it’s not a full fledged DAW where you can add plugins or do much automation. But it’s AUv3 and that’s giant! Don’t sleep on this beast!!!

The sound packs are second to none on the iPad, Acoustic drums sound great with some eq mixing. The pianos are top notch.

I would recommend purchasing Beathawk to anyone..everyone! They have such amazing products, and top notch customer service!!

This app hasn’t been updated in 2 years, no new content or features. No nothing. And yet this is my favorite app to start a track on. I really wish more music making apps and DAWs would take inspiration from this one’s song mode. It also takes the 16 pad workflow and simplifies it in a way that still lets you make full tracks, but is cleaner and more to the point. This app is sample based, and has THE best in App Store content of any other music making app. Especially when that content goes on sale (which it still does a few times a year). The sampler itself is pretty simplistic and and can’t compete with something like Koala, but it is serviceable enough, and the downloadable sounds and fast workflow make this an app to not pass up.

Great app and done right and very stable. Very responsive when contacted for app fixes and ideas. Would love to see some expansion to the sampler since it was ahead if it’s time when it came out but now it needs refreshment. Love to see where this app can continue to go and grow, maybe a built-in synth from your collection of products. I love iaps but a synth would be awesome and as a paid iap and would go a long way with the au capabilities as that also makes beathawk strong in Logic Pro. The piano roll is still a little difficult to see pending on the light situation. One more request would be to allow chords progressions and being able to play the pads as keys versus just a piano. Hopefully there is a big update on the way for that fifth star.

There r changes to BeatHawk saving & storage features. U can now save and open cloud files.

I bought this not as a groove box (Koala probably a better choice?) but for some great UVI sounds no one else has on iOS. The Wurlitzer is easily worth the price of admission, I wasn’t able to find decent Classical Percussion anywhere else, and the Acoustic Drums has round robins which I wasn’t able to find elsewhere on iOS. However, the Acoustic Drums is only one kit with a heavy Rock Ride and everything is compressed and EQd to within an inch of its life. So need to tame that in spots which is hard, this is produced for beginners at mixing I suppose, the “finished sound” idea. Well, not finished for everything. Encouraged, I tried the Woodwinds, they are a total disaster, I was able to somewhat save the flutes and clarinets with the envelopes but for some buggy reason the envelopes don’t apply to the oboes. The woodwinds samples pan themselves all over the place, awful primitive sounds, should have a demo mode like Korg Module has to avoid bitter commentary. You can’t even see what you get in these packs. I will have to pay for SWAM I suppose. The Rhodes isn’t as good as the Wurli, I suppose they are being kind to partner VTines which is a lot more costly. I am not so interested in the rest of the offerings the Woodwinds ruined it for me. I have an awful lot of UVI on desktop so I had some hopes here, they clearly have the Falcon engine ported across, maybe Logic will bring enough business for them to get interested in iOS again. But I am happy with the wurli and classical percussion available in AUM via AUv3. Maybe I use some more of it sometime.

I literally bought this for the strings sound pack and nothing is in the app. What the heck is this? The UI looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2006. Where are the UVI packs???

At first I lost everything during mercury retrograde but now they are listed as back but I jus can’t load them. Please help me retrieve my projects. I have at least 50 beats and it kills me to know that it seems to be alll have been for nothing. I tried o omg the instructions but it was written in such a way that I could not make heads or tails of anything. I need serious assistance. I’m his was one of my favorite apps until I’ll his majo Glitch

Sounds are good but need to be updated to include warm, lush, soulful chord progressions in the vein of LoFi.
