Customer Reviews
Could be the one to beat.
At first blush, this app seems limited in functionality vs. the celebrated BeatMaker (which I own, and love). Further noodling reveals, however, that iDrum is more of an "instrument", and as such, it has a lot of flexibility that BeatMaker can't touch (no pun intended). When you first get into iDrum, you see that a "song" can only be 16 measures long.... but when you dig a little deeper, you realize that through the process of triggering multiple measure-groups (called "islands") you can create a huge arrangement that can go on for an hour, but only if you are recording your performance through an analog line into a separate recording app (pro tools, GB, etc.). Again, think of it as an instrument, vs. an all-in-one song composition app, and you'll begin to see the elegance. With BeatMaker, the whole "song" is built within the app, through incessant flipping back-and-forth between menus and screens. Then, you export the thing, and add your keys, axe, etc. Honestly, The idea of doing all of that on the iPhone is giving me finger cramps. With iDrum, you create a four-bar rhythm, copy and paste w/ ease, tweak and alter passages quickly, then group those passages into trigger groups that you then "perform" into your Desktop-based recording software. It allows for a bit of spontaneity that is absent in BeatMaker.
With all of this being said, there are a few MAJOR updates that would crown this app as the top-of-the-heap. Namely; A)The ability to export an on-the-fly performance as an internal mixdown. B) A "BeatPack"-type desktop app to allow new kit/sample importing, and the exporting of the afore-mentioned "mixdown". C) Some effects - Reverb, Echo, Phase, Reverse, etc.
The more I fool with it, the more I can see how I'd be more likely to work with iDrum over Beatmaker in an on-the-go situation. For $5, I recommend you take the chance.... only read the website's manual closely, or you'll miss a few KEY functions that make the app so flexible.
iZotope.... you have a brilliant app on your hands. PLEASE consider a few of my suggestions above. BeatMaker still holds the crown, as far as feature-richness goes. You can change that.
Hmmmm...AWESOME!!!!
If the price was lowered it would be a definite buy for me
Update:
I bought this app cause it looked to cool and I couldn't wait for a possible price drop
This game is super fun to play around with and I love techno so I'm having a blast with this app
I'm hoping for a possible update in the future that comes with some more sounds :)
The Beginning of My Palm-top Studio
iDrum is a nifty piece of software. The UI is carefully thought out. The sounds are fun. I'm really enjoying myself, and I think it is well worth the $5 price of admission.
For me, one more feature would make this a killer app--ability to export into either Garage Band or iDrum's desktop program (also a very well done program.)
Good work guys.
