Did you actually say professionals? Like seriously? 2+2=7
Guys, stop. Some people might take that seriously .
I hate to do this, but 1 star is as far as I can take this.
picked up Groovebox on October 11th, 2022. On the 15th, I picked up Monolit, Phase Mutant, and Omega. At first, Groovebox seemed very promising. Unlike my traditional desktop DAW, I am able to build up complex sequences relatively fast. With my primary DAW, I actually get tired of tweaking the same sounds and sequences over and over again. Groovebox makes this simple. So what’s the problem? I have never been able to export a usable file. What is exported is a *.bleassprj file. I can toss it up to Dropbox, email it, etc… but what’s the point? A MIDI file would be more useful despite loosing most of the audio substance that you worked for. The actual sounds are not embedded in MIDI files. A WAV file would be priceless as I could load it into my DAW and build on it. Bottom line: I’m sure must be a way to export a sequence for further development. It’s escaped me for 10 months. My iPhone is the only device I have where an “Enable Ableton Link” is present. Ableton naturally pushes you towards adopting the full Ableton Live environment. The iPhone’s inter app functionality is janky at best. Besides, I shouldn’t have to use additional apps to realize the capabilities that convinced me to get this app in the first place. This goes for all Bleass apps.- BEFORE YOU BUY, find as many tutorials as you can that address Bleass and your existing system(s). I bounce back and forth between Windows and Linux platforms with no additional hardware. There are several apps in the AppStore that export usable files without jumping through hoops. I keep the Bleass apps installed in the hopes that a straightforward export functionality is discovered.
Trapped on my iPhone
I started off with Groovebox and ended up getting Omega, Phase Mutant, & Monolit as well. I’m starting to think that I put the cart before the horse. Perhaps I should have given the export feature some attention before putting together a track/beat that I’m really proud of. Export doesn’t appear to mean “export as a standalone audio file that you can play in any media player”. I have an iPhone, an old laptop, and a beats audio system in my car. While I was a DJ in the early-to-mid 90’s, all that equipment is gone. But the music still lives inside of me. I obviously got in over my head with Bleass. I just want to make music and listen to it whenever I happen to be.
Would love to see this get a update
Bleass has came so far since this app was introduced , now that they have an entire suite of fx and instruments , it would be a welcome addition to have groovebox host them or integrate them somehow. While this app is not quite there the work ethic and the consistency of the company is an indication that there may still be hope for this Groovebox yet ;)
Killer!
I feel like some of these reviews are from limited exploration of the app. From my use of this app, this is really intuitive, feature packed and completely capable of pretty much anything you’d want or need in a groove machine of this sort. Loving it and for live applications, fantastic. Developer, please consider continuing development on this gem. Really really great in a live setting. 10 stars.
