    Best drum machine
    This is the best drum machine app I’ve used in IOS. Whats really great about Beat Hawk is it is compatible as a Audio Unit in Cubasis 3. I haven’t found another one that can do this yet. They have a variety of sounds and expansion libraries. You can also port your own VST/ Virtual Instruments and samples into it. The user interface is very easy to understand. They should allow unlimited amount of pads per project, but if your tracking into Cubasis 3 you can work around it by creating new tracks in Cubasis. I’m excited to see Beat Hawk developers continue to grow in IOS. Show more

    BEAT AU3 sound module for iOS BEAT PRODUCTION
    BeatHawk is a BEAST as a stand-alone drum machine but it REALLY SHINES as a AU3 plugin in your DAW of choice. The library is great UVI sounds are TOP NOTCH! Show more

    Does the job
    I use this primarily to make click tracks for live performances. Loading the projects is a long process and importing my own samples is a little weird in my opinion, but it does exactly as advertised. Don’t know why it took my so long to find this app lol. Show more

    One of the best
    Stability is great for a music making application. It’s not optimized for the display of iPhone 11 but it’s not a problem considering this app is more stable than 99 percent of apps that are optimized for iPhone 11. Amazing sounds, amazing quality. I hope this app continues to receive updates and support for years to come. Show more

    I do not recommend it
    I feel like I lost my money with that program. Let me wrap myself when I listen to the sound libraries they offer. They actually overlooked many details. you only have 16 pads for your projects that really don't go at all unless you want to make a ring tone you cannot chop your own loops if you want to make your own rhythms 16 pads are not enough you cannot route your samples you cannot make multis layers you cannot identify your own rhythms you cannot name or enumerate them if you could export your rhythms in wav or aiff format to continue using the pads but you can't either I was very disappointed I do not recommend it they should do an update or a plugin taking into account all these details too limited Show more

    Almost everything I was looking 4
    This production app is great! For the most part fairly easy and has some great sounds .All the exp packs are high quality and priced nice. Only thing I would love on a update is to be able to load a drum kit that feels all 16 pads. Also I would pay a upgrade fee for audio tracks to lay vocals instead of stemming this to cubasis 3 or reason or cubase in my laptop . Thanks for all your hard work . Show more

    I’ve integrated this into my work flow over the last 2 years
    It’s a great app with some of the nicest sounding sample packs for sale on iOS . There is just one glaring issue with the app, the piano roll is a laggy mess in AUV3 at least on my iPad Pro 10.5, it’s been like this forever. Try to move a note on the piano roll and random notes appear. I wish the piano roll was closer to NanoStudio 2s design which is flawless execution. I’ve spent more on this app than any other music app, so I would expect the bugs to eventually be worked out. Haven’t yet. Show more

    Super disappointed
    I have been making beats/songs in GarageBand and had been getting to the point where I was running out of sounds when I found out about using other Apps as Audio Unit Extensions via GarageBand. After buying this app, I quickly realized that the way it is set up with pads renders usability of instruments useless. You can basically only set up 16 pads/sounds and that’s it. If I am missing something, I would love be told and shown different. Also, it’s disappointing and misleading that it comes with a small amount of instruments and yet plenty of instrument/sound packs to purchase. The UI needs substantial improvement along with its interactivity with GarageBand. With lots of improvements, I’d be happy to change my rating. That or just let GarageBand add your sounds to their library. Show more

    Delayed updates broken preset recall
    Wonderful app but preset recall on projects with multiple instances of beathawk have been broken for over 6 months. When I wrote support about this I was told it would be fixed in September. It is now almost December. Support just told me that they have no ETA on an update now and no beta version for this fix...please fix this and I will update my review Show more

    Beathawk is truly a bargain
    The instrument sounds in this app are great and I learned the interface from scratch in under 30min with no previous experience using loop oriented music recording software and wrote the sketch of a blues rock song in about an hour and sent it to musician friends. All in all the quality of sounds and the ease of use earn this app a 10 star review. The only reasons I didn’t give it a 5 star review are the relative lack of Blues/Rock oriented instrument packs and I’d like their file exporting to be a bit easier. That was the only place I had troubles with using the app (there are simple workarounds and all, but this app has such amazing capabilities that why not just shoot for the stars). The piano sound is actually good and holds its own to other standalone apps, the baroque instruments are the same (blew my mind), the Hammond is gorgeous, and the electric pianos, Mellotron (different league than Module’s, but not as good as UVI’s own for their computer Workstation), blues guitars, and drum kits and all very useable. I haven’t even plugged a keyboard into this to write yet, but I can tell you it just makes it all easier to play. Extremely good app for the money and hard drive space. Really, combined with GarageBand and Hokusai, it’s everything you need for all app pro quality music production. 20 yrs ago, this would have been unimaginable. 10 years ago, still impossible. Now, it’s actually cheap! Lol. What a time to be alive. Show more
