Band Creator-Bass Drum Machine

Stopped working. iPad Air.

This is great for practicing guitar. You can even sing the bass line and most of the times the app recognizes the correct progression. I can easily make backtracks and connect the phone to my amp and play over it. I used to own a Digitech Trio that did about the same thing, maybe with better tones, but it was a 300 bucks pedal. Also, the app seems to be easier to use and easier to “learn “. The only thing, sometimes I need to restart my iPhone because No sounds can be heard, although the app appears to be running.

I was looking at possibly buying the much heralded Digitech Trio + but when I found this little gem referenced in a forum, I went for it with a little bit of skepticism. I am glad I went for the full version because it works great for working out song ideas alongside a looper app with Audiobus. I’m using it with Quantiloop and Audiobus on the iPad Pro and let me tell you it is great. Strum your favorite chord progressions and it comes back with a great match in different genres. Initially, the bass was coming in too hot but it was easily remedied by adjusting the master control along with controls that level the bass and drums. I know that I’ll probably want to invest in something like Band in the Box in the future, but this intuitive app definitely bridges the gap at a reasonable price. Sacrifice your daily coffee at Starbucks and get this app. I hope the developer adds Bluetooth midi connectivity so I can use my irig blueboard and also allow options for exporting to the cloud as wav,aiff or mp3 for use with other apps. So far, this app has huge potential, please keep updating it!

I wanted to like this app but I found it to be less than useful compared to things I can do better with other apps as well as had some technical glitches. The main thing I was interested in was to record electric guitar via Audiobus but when I played back the analyzed recording, the app's bass guitar had a very audible popping distortion. Also, the timing was never right when playing back the recorded tracks. In summary, I really like the idea of this app but it needs a lot of work to bring it to a level to compete with other apps. Ultimately, I found I could be much more productive recording with GarageBand, among many other recording apps.

Fun, but pay attention to when you stop it will change the loop

I made a mistake in my review. It works great. I'm very impressed but can you route the backing audio to the digital output.

Two things. It would be great to export to wav or aiff. This will only play thru the iPad speaker. With or without interface connected. You have to play clean so the analysis is accurate. This is a good tool. It could be great!!!! Keep up the good work.
