    You can set quantisation per individual loop so I think you can achieve what you want. Suggest you download and try before you buy!

    Ok thanks I’ll look into that. Do you mean there might be a “no quantisation “ option which is what I will need. I realise that wanting things to NOT sync up with each other is anathema to most looping/sequencing software/hardware, and will confuse some forum members, but that really is what I want!

    Yes, you can set loops to be free rather than 'Phase Locked'. Also, you should explore the record and play quantisation options to configure how you want to start and stop loops. You can record an FX tail after the loop ends, and an intro before the main body of the loop starts, too!

    Yeah, all these things! It's simply amazing how many options you have to start/stop loops. Download and try for free?

    Does the retrospective looper let you select the length of the uhhh, captured retrospection, after you have already been retrospecting, ala the Endlesss advanced looper setting?

    I ask because I don't want to be blow my 7 day trial just yet. ;)

    You can indeed set the length of the loop beforehand. Just swipe up on the donut and set it there. It works beautifully with 1 bar, but I’ve had some problems with 4 bars for some reason.

    I know you can set it beforehand but that is not what I am asking. In Endlesss you can choose to capture either the previous 1,2,4 or 8 bars on the fly, simply by tapping the waveform in one of the four quadrants. This is the best thing about Endlesss for me and why I would still use it over any other looper.

    Only being able to set the length beforehand kind of limits the free flow creative potential of retrospective looping.

    What I think you need to do is to set up 4 individual loops that are being fed 1, 2, 4 and 8 bars in terms of retrospective recording (set this in their individual options by swiping up on the loop and going into the settings). You can label these with text to help you remember which is which. Then when you know the length you want after playing, press the loop that corresponds with the length you want and the retrospective recording will zap into it.

    I THINK that’s what you do anyway… I should try it out!

    You don’t need to set up loops with preset lengths. You can change the master cycle length on the fly .

    What is the error?

    I don’t have the Dropbox app installed, navigating to your link in the Chrome web browser. In Chrome, the downloaded file simply doesn’t load in LPro no matter how I save the file (direct “open in” or “save to Files”). Here’s the error when I try to import that file:

    The solution was to navigate to your Dropbox link in Safari, download and then tap on the project in Safari downloads.

    The project loads right up when I tap on the link in Safari. I’m guessing that Chrome on iOS must do something weird to the downloaded file… somewhat disconcerting but at least I figured out how to make it work. :) thanks

    Man, this app is amazing!! Great work @Michael. One feature which I'd like to have (and maybe its in there, I just started messing with it) is to be able to switch the AU via the mixer "window" at the bottom of the main screen.

    Is that what you mean?

    @tja : re your question about retro looping. Visit the wiki’s loopy pro page. There is short video that might help.

    Would a widgety window that shows the retrospective buffer as a waveform (with markers for length) be possible? I just envision myself panicking to hit the right loop length and getting it wrong.

    Undo.

    Undo? But if your twistin up some rad gnarly fx yo and you hit a totaly tubular one off and hit undo, you just missed the portal to the promised land bro. Best when in doubt just dump big and cut in that with trim. Gnome sane?

    Yes, that would be great. Ape Matrix and Drambo have this and I like it a lot.
    In the meantime, you can add a new channel for the new AU, then drag any fx to the new channel.

    If the file wasn’t zipped, zipping might help. Project “files” are really bundles which are actually folders and not all download and upload clients handle them correctly.

    I might be wrong...
    I'm on the 7 days trial. I was trying all kind of AUv3 and record some "donuts". Got fun. Got some nice groove but I said to myself "it sounds bad, it sounds all squeeshy-muddy!". So I decided to reproduced the same groove in AUM and my gosh... night and day. It sounds way better. Full dynamic range. Bright. Clear. I might be wrong but for now, I'll stick with AUM.

    Did you maybe change the tempo after recording your loops? Time stretch, no matter how good it is, will do stuff like that to sound.

    fwiw, been running it since late Beta and the sounds being captured in Loopy Pro sound just fine to my ears. Haven't noticed any difference in the recording quality of it over AUM or Drambo. Sounds seem identical to my ears. But, as with all things audio related, ones MMV :smiley:

    No, but thanks for the tip. I mean the ability to swap the AU for a different one without having to add/remove channels. Similar to ejecting the AU in AUM :)

    Ahhh...gotcha. Yeah, that seems like a good thing to add in an update. Be sure and ping Michael about that.

    If it's louder and distorted you may need to switch off Echo Calibration in the settings on the mic channel I think. Lots of people, including me, ran into this issue on the Beta.

    So what hardware controllers have folks tried with LP, and what do you think?

    Part of me is tempted to get some hardware to go with this, e.g. like a launchpad mini. Another part of me says the power and beauty of the customizable on-screen controls is all that’s really needed, and keeps it lean, portable, small.

    Thoughts?

    While I love Neon and am very sad that AudioShare still does not support drag-and-drop ( @j_liljedahl ) you may want to give "Sample Crate" a try!

    https://apps.apple.com/app/sample-crate/id1593900129?l=en

    My App Store Shurtcut does not work anymore since i*OS 15... so no more details.

    It can work on any document provider including AudioShare and you can preview samples before dragging them over into Loopy Pro!

    It's fantastic!

    Yes yes Audioshare drag-and-drop yes please very much yes. Please.

    Umm so is this AudioBus compatible? Because when I usually do a loop recording workflow I use Blocs Wave as the AudioBus output and the pop up AudioBus toolbar is a big part of that.

    The AUv3 version can be used in an AudioBus FX slot at this time. I believe IAA / AudioBus support for the standalone is in the pipeline.

    Hey,
    Is it possible to change a cycle IS already in your layout to a rectangle shape? I like to view all loops in rectangle shapes, not cycles, if possible.

    Yep. Go to the edit page and Just drag a corner of up until the loop turns into a rectangle.

    There are currently two pieces of functionality lost if you do that.

    • A single finger circular motion around the donut enables adjusting the volume. No big deal because long-pressing the mixer icon will bring up faders for the individual loops.
    • Two-finger twisting allows to adjust the loop position.
