Remixlive - Make Music & Beats 4+

I tried Remixlive back in 2017 when it was all about looping. I kept it as an experimenter, but not a daily driver, since I preferred to make original music instead of using loops.

But 6 years later I come back and it’s a whole different app. Not only is looping an option, but now you can also create original melodies, drum patterns, basslines, and chord sequences! It’s amazing! Now I use this app more frequently because I can now create something unique and original with it, and it’s been awesome to see your app grow. Remixlive is definitely much more of an option now, and your MacOS version has been converted perfectly as well.

That being said, there could be a bit of a better way to change the pitch of melodic instruments’ notes; The current system is quite finicky. It’s usable, and it’s good, but could use some improvements. Maybe you should add individual grid lines for each semitone you transpose it, or use a slider on the left-hand menu or something like that. Also, it would be very convenient if you could record vocals inside Remixlive. Those two issues are the only turnoffs from this app; otherwise, this app is pretty high up on my list of iPad music making apps! (Definitely higher than Music Maker Go…)

Hi @Espn watcherak! What a pleasure to read! Thank you so much for this detailed feedback 🙏🎶
Within the last year and half, we focused on delivering a more complete experience throught the upgrade of existing features and... more are to come! Especially one you might like within the next few weeks, SPOIL: Live sequences looping with the drum view 🥳
We're glad you’re considering Remixlive more frequently in your workflow 🎶🎶

That being said, your perspective on the pitch is very interesting, the developers will know about it and we'd like to invite you to share your suggestion.s here: https://remixlive.canny.io/feedback

WE HAVE A GOOD NEWS! You can already record vocals inside Remixlive 🔥❤️
Here is a tutorial explaining how to do it (section 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBfRV-fNyw8
Moreover, you might be interesting in the section 3 (import samples) and 7 (audiobus -> to integrate other softwares with Remixlive).

We wish you all the best with your music and hope to hear from you soon 🎶🙏

I challenge the developers to record themselves making a song using the separate features of the app, all in one take, and prove it actually works. I've used this thing on and off for the last year, and I have never once found consistency in how it works and operates. I am far from convinced that a person can even complete a song using this app. You hit record on one screen it records tracks on the main song; you try to record a loop or sequence into the song but then it doesn't record anything into the main song. Trying to load up packs and it creates a whole new project without even telling you, and you only realize it when you go back to the Home Screen. I mean it's absolutely convoluted and glitchy and it makes me insane , I'm pulling my hair out. I just can't figure it out. Maybe you need to be a musical genius or somewhere in the inside of the business or something. This is an unbelievably frustrating experience and I resent the developers for how they've constructed this thing. Also, their customer service responded a couple of times then I guess gave up on answering my questions. The app simply does not work.

Thanks for reaching out. We'd love to discuss with you about your questions about our app. You can chat with us and the community on Discord here : https://discord.gg/VczwWJtP

So, I been using this for a while. Never should’ve updated it! Can’t run multiple sequences in same channel no more. Hold the line on a pitch change and it changes the whole row! Why?? That’s sabotage! Forget all that time I spent tryin to get it to sound good! Can’t export sequences. Can’t export midi sounds, only loops. Can’t run sequences across other packs, only their loops, again. This got me into making music tgl. But as a producer it’s gettin harder to take this app seriously as an assistant more so than it’s just for entertainment on the toilet. Don’t get me wrong you can make bangers on this app. But that’s a lotta money to lock us out! And why not let us access ALL the midi for every loop you show? Why not let the sound from one sequence import into another pack as was? It changes to a sound from the current pack. Making the move pointless. Lastly, don’t drops packs with no instruments on the drum pad bcuz then we can’t make a sequence with it. That’s not producer friendly. I throw those packs in the trash. I’m not getting my full value per dollar. After a couple years it’s just cheaper to buy FL Studio or even Pro Tools. Why make it harder for us to work if you’re tryin to help our workflow stay smooth? I’m prolly not gonna reup after this year is up. Just gonna stick with my laptop. It’s got all the stuff I need. Otherwise I just get a plugin for my DAW on what new sounds drop.
