When the Beat Thang hardware first came out it did suck.I tried one out and returned it a couple of days later because it was too buggy. However, after reading and seeing demos. of it with updated firmware, I decided to give it a 2nd chance. I'm glad I did. Since I bought it about a month ago there have been about 5 firmware updates that have fixed bugs and provided new features such as multitrack wav export. I have even discovered features that weren't even advertised such as the ability to use 64Gb SD cards which I bough for less than $50US:) While it is not a true all-in-one studio centerpiece/DAW, it is a versatile,portable,standalone beatmaking tool that is fun to use and getting better everyday.
The Beat Thang looks like the real deal with those updates they came out with. Especially that export feature where you can export your beat in a folder to import into your DAW.
If I were a Gear Slut I probably would have to cop one. Too much gear messes up my workflow though.
beat thankg looks like a kids toy from what i can tell good idea but over all the shit was not right
