Loopy Pro: Building a library of loops for spontaneous arrangement?
Hi everyone, I just used Loopy Pro for the first time today 🤯
I know there are a lot of different use cases for it, including live/ad-hoc loop creation but that’s not exactly my comfort zone or objective right now.
Up until now I mostly have used a song based workflow where all the sounds stay associated with one song and then I usually forget about it and start from scratch on the next song with new sounds…but working in Loopy Pro today has expanded my mind to a new way of working where I could potentially build out hundreds of different loops in different categories (drums, synths, bass etc.) and then spend time auditioning them against each other and creating happy accidents in a more spontaneous workflow.
I know this is a very similar idea to features in Ableton, Logic Live Loops and Bitwig and I have played around with some of those stock loops and saw the promise of it, but something about LP just hit different and now I want to build my own personal loop library (not solely relying on stuff like Splice, etc.).
I guess what I’m wondering is how people with this workflow approach it? Do you have different session for just creating relatively limited loops and then work on arranging when you hit a critical mass of new sounds?
The excitement of this workflow for me is that it takes the pressure off when a loop is “just a loop”, or I don’t know how to advance it I can simply save it in a folder marked “Drum loop 130 bpm” and start on the next thing and then figure out the arrangement later in LP.
Interested to hear if anyone has transformed their workflow since working with LP and any tips you might have for optimizing it.
Cheers!

Loopy Pro is probably a decent enough tool for something like this, but Blocs Wave seems like it could be a better fit for what you describe, being made for exactly this purpose. It has more features for categorizing loops and making quick mashups with them.
SampleCrate might be a good companion for doing this in Loopy Pro. In Split View it could aid in browsing and using your built-up collections.
