Any non-DAW apps that do comping?

I mean where you can record multiple takes of the same passage for consequent comparison after recording. I know how to do it in Cubasis, and I would imagine Loopy is very good at it, but I was hoping there may be a smaller, simpler AU app that can also do it.

Do any of the audio editors do this? Any way to make it happen in AUM?

I know you said you want something simpler than Loopy Pro but Loopy Pro is great for this, and in my opinion is not nearly as complicated to use as some think. While it is very deep, one doesn’t need to learn its whole feature set. And you can use the AU version in AUM for this.

I find Loopy Pro + Auditor handy for comping if the situation requires comping I can’t do directly in Loopy Pro (which I often can).

Loopy Pro is an easy tool with lots of depth and flexibility. What I mean, it’s not complicated, it’s more like a huge shopping list.

Doesn't one of the 4Pockets apps do this? Neon maybe...?

I suspect these are all the functions you need?:

Also included is the ability to perform operations such as splitting, normalising, reversing and time stretching of audio clips all with a multi-level undo built right in. A comprehensive set of selection, copying and duplication tools make editing a breeze.

That would be multitrackrecorder by 4 pockets:

They all seem to be a bit of a work around. Not aware of any dedicated comping.

Does seem like something 4 Pockets could tackle.

This might work by jumping down to a new track each time. Not as easy as Cubasis, but doable.

The thing is that I am not working to standard loop lengths. Each phrase is a different length and independent of tempo. On Cubasis I just drag the brackets to the length of the first take and then drop in subsequent takes. I can do that for each phrase and then have them all in order on a timeline.

Loopy probably does this; I just don't know how. I guess maybe I need to bite the bullet and learn Loopy better. Or else delete a bunch of stuff to make room for downloading Cubasis again.

It totally does, and isn't terribly complex to set up that way. Loops can be completely free running and don't have to have a fixed length. It's just a matter of setting a few options. There are better people than me to help guide you though.

It's also easy to set up a foot switch or hardware or onscreen button to transition to a new clip.

@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr : loopy doesn’t have to record standard loop lengths. There are a lot of different ways to set this up.

Thanks guys. I will have to learn Loopy better. I was hoping maybe there was a simpler editor like Neon that would do it.
