RealBeat

RealBeat is a super easy-to-use audio processing app for Mac OS X. It’s perfect for recording, looping, and cutting sounds to create awesome rhythm tracks. Think of it as your go-to sampler for making cool loops and rhythms from recorded sounds.

Easy-to-Navigate Interface

The app has a clean layout that’s split into different sections, making it user-friendly. You’ll find panes for everything: recording multiple samples, sequencing those samples, and modifying them with fun patterns. Plus, you can easily record external sounds too!

Sample Control at Your Fingertips

In each sample pane, you can see the sound’s waveform and tweak things like pitch, pan, and volume. RealBeat makes life easier with handy keyboard shortcuts! For example, use q-i to start a sample, a-k to stop it, and 1-8 to record your next sound.

Create Unique Sequences

The sequencer features 16 different notes you can click on to activate. Plus, it comes loaded with patterns that help you create some pretty interesting note sequences. Feel free to make your own patterns too—create, edit or delete them however you like!

Recording Made Simple

RealBeat lets you use your Mac’s internal microphone or any external sound interface to record whatever sounds you want. Once recorded, mixing those sounds into a catchy rhythm is a breeze! With just a bit of tweaking, you'll have samples ready to drop into your songs.

Your Music on the Go

A cool bonus? You can export your tracks as iPhone ringtones! How convenient is that?

A Creative Tool for Everyone

If you're looking for a creative OS X application that keeps things simple while letting you produce unique samples and rhythms easily, RealBeat is definitely worth checking out. Loop sounds, modify them in many ways, and include them in your sequencer without breaking a sweat!
