Thanks for this video. You’re a natural teacher who REALLY understands the term “step by step”.. From turning the thing on and covering every aspect and control . Fantastic and again, thanks . Please make more .
Thank you for making this. I’ve been getting to know GarageBand and Cubasis on the iPad, and when I first tried Zenbeats it made no sense at all. Going to give it another go.
What exactly is latency compensation, and how do we decide what number to input ? A rhythm can be out of pace, in relation to what ? To another track ?
Hi I just purchased Synth Classics Juno but can’t find the presets anywhere ! Help please if you can oh and by the way I think your videos on Zenbeats are brilliant 👍
hi, add a new instrument track, select ZC1, click where it says default on top left, click on the right hand side where it says All for the categories, select Synth Classic Juno. At this point you should see the presets?
@@soundformore Thanks very much for your response, it’s o k I’ve figured it out. I didn’t realize to you have to to the title not the folder icon,,,duh. Cheers anyway.
I don't understand what's happening : in the present version ( March 2023 ) I have the Pro subscription and all the Unlocks ( Including Ultimate for one month I think ). BUT : My buffer is limited at the ONLY option of 446. Sometimes it distorts. AND : There is no "IOS Unlock" on my page ( mixing limitations - specification )
@@soundformore Thank you for your answer. 2 news lines : - Yes, the hardware is the culprit. I have a 7 years old laptop with AMD A6. ( upgraded 2 years ago to 8GB Ram and SSD ) - It is all fine on my Android. Buffer up to 1920. Under the selection window it shows a recording latency of 3840 !
Yes, the Android is a last year new model. But I had yet another problem that I solved. - Save Song, Transfer or Export - these choices do not offer the .wav generating. - The Zenbeats 2.1 Start Guide manual ( no manual for 3.0 yet ) says the Export gets the .wav, but this is no longer available now. - It took me some hours of stress over days, until I discovered that the Render Song is solving the problem. - But it also puts a duplicate wave file inside the song I started from, so I have to remember to delete it, because it distorts the whole song. ( the first file was exported to a device folder, and I found it there )
The guide is not great, that is why I started the tutorials and the file system UI still needs lots of improvements … I think the desktop version is better than the iOS version…
Bugged so bad. Can not even log into the app but i can login to the website. No zenbeats folder exists on my device. I had to uninstall and reinstall. Still unable to find my exported waves.
@soundformore It's Android. Latest version on Samsung. I lost every project because they do not use external folders outside of the App itself. I saved waves but they are all gone, even though i clicked to add to drive.
Another problem. In the laptop I tried to record a guitar pattern on an instrument track, established the 4 bars Pattern Size, Saved it As ( Gave it a name ) ... then started recording. Surprise : It jumps to 5 bars ( and 5 bars isn't even in the list ), then at next attempt it jumps at 12 bars, then another time at 24 bars. I'll check if it behaves the same on my phone.
@@soundformore You're right, I didn't take into account the Loop Builder. I started it either in ZR1, or in Timeline Song. The display doesn't specify, or I didn't learn enough on the general functionality. It doesn't bother me, I can adjust the bars afterwards.
The iOS version comes with 11 lessons. From the initial screen when you click on lessons on the bottom right do you only see 5 lessons? If so what is the latest lesson?
I am only seeing 5 lessons in mine also. Ok, now I see that you need to go into unlocks and open the upgraded version, download it, and then all 11 lessons show up
What’s the best way to edit a sample in Zenbeats? I’d like to import drum loops but I’ll need to edit the sample to match the BPM and I’ll need to accurately trim the start and end. I’ve tried to import a loop into a drum instrument and all you get is a tiny waveform to play with and it’s not very accurate if you try and edit it.
Thank you for your help; I have another question.. Is it possible to import outside audio thru an audio interface onto tracks with this software? ie; a mic, vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar , etc , can these kinds of instruments be added to tracks with Roland zenbeats?

I've been using this app for many years on Android and PC but I like these videos because there might be an idea in here that I never thought of.
Thank you Phil, keep watching, next ones are coming soon...

It has evolved a lot... and it is still improving... slowly...
BTW there are competitions on this channel, so just check the latest videos to win products and check the rules on the video descriptions
I think the program seriously needs tool tips for the U.I. without it it is a ocean for navigation
Yes that is a nice idea... I will pass on the message to the developer David...

If you have cracking noises or the app respond lately adjust latency and buffer options…
Thank You keep it coming it helps
ok thanks, keep supporting the channel, share it with other people for subscribers, likes etc. ;)
Hi there, keep up the great work with the tutorials. I'm finding them to be really helpful.
Thank you and subscribe so that I can build a bigger and better channel with lots of useful tutorials... :)

You are a legend 👍🙏🙏
There is no Sync section under the BPM and Time signature anymore, with Ableton link and Latency compensation.
Did they put those elsewhere ?
Still there for me… on iOS and Mac…
Hi there great tutorial, I do have a question. I’m having some confusion when saving , can you help ? Many thanks.
Sure, what is the confusion?

When you click to loop view what's the a b c d e sections at the bottom?
They are like scenes or section selectors, it is explained as you move on to other videos in the playlist…

Hi, I've just downloaded Zenbeats and I've only got Lessons 1-5, do you know where I can see the later lessons?

Hi sir, When ever i change to 6/8, 12/8 the boxes doesn't aligned properly like in 4/4, four boxes per beat. Can you help please 🙏
What are the grid settings? Did you change the time signature before or after you created a track? Drum track? Instrument track?
@@soundformoreI changed the time signature to 6/8 but the boxes doesn't align correctly. It has eight square in one beat.
@jeffreyraymondarthur230 recreate the track after you changed the time signature and check the grid size… it works here :)
@@soundformore Hi sir can you make a tutorial video on this. I'm sure it will benefit every one

Import the loop as an audio track...
How do I find my third party plugins I already paid to unlock it can’t find it
Can you please give me an example of plugin you acquired?

Is this going to confuse those of us who have windows 10 ?
Nope, but there are differences here and there...

What's a plug in?
Like a module that you add in…. Could be an instrument or an audio / midi effect…
