Ratings and Reviews
Wham BAM thankyou mam!
Grown to love BAM but I need more channels. Like 32 or… unlimited!? At the very least, you could add an internal drum KIT plugin to allow multiple drum sounds on the same channel without having the use the sample index automation. A linear arrangement view would also be nice as an alternative mode like Ableton.
Keyboard input/shortcuts would also be nice!

Thanks for your feedback. The features you are asking are more likely to be present on a DAW. Maybe BAM will walk that path somewhere along the road but definitely not in the short term. Thank you! Best regards
Good, but a few UX issues
I really like the workflow, but there are a few things that really bug me about this app.
1. Recording from an audio unit keyboard does not record into the time line, this is a high priority fix in my opinion.
2. Recording from a count in is quite laggy, I hit the note at the exact point that it should start, however, it always misses the first note. Again, this is a high priority bug that should be fixed.
3. The keyboard does not show up on all Audio Units, this feels a bit scrappy in my opinion and should be fixed.
4. Some Audio Units are cropped in the window, again very scrappy and should also be fixed.
Fix the above issues and this will be a great app to use, it is a lot fun, and I like the workflows and sounds I get from it.

Hi there, thanks for your review and feedback, excellent points concisely delivered - thank you!
Too clever for me
I’ve been making music on IOS for many years now, and am used to a learning curve with complex apps. It’s clear that a tonne of work has gone into this one, and no doubt many people will have a great time using it. But for me, so much was counterintuitive, such as the inability to drag and drop samples onto a timeline, or getting tracks to play as I expected. It may be just a case of horses for courses, and this horse was not for me. )-: Ultimately, I found this more frustrating than fascinating.

Hi there, thanks for trying BAM and taking the time to give us feedback. Parts of the BAM workflow and features function may be slightly differently to other groovebox style apps, and you are right, BAM is indeed a complex and capable app. If you have any questions or would like to talk to us about BAM, please get in touch via the website!
