    Oh, man, I'm so consistently flummoxed when faced with somewhat-arbitrary decisions 😆

    I've had quite a few people now make vigorous arguments for using "forum.loopypro.com", and I'm starting to come around. The downside – the breadth of the forum relative to the name – is one that already exists in the current setup and certainly won't get any worse, while the upside for Loopy Pro is arguably pretty considerable: Loopy Pro peeps who are looking for community will find a brilliant, vibrant and relatively on-topic one, and it'll certainly help to support me and my work (and I need all the help I can get because I'm a rubbish businessman!).

    I feel a bit self-conscious about it because the thing that makes this community what it is is you guys, not me.

    Do it Michael! Pick a name that will give Loopy more exposure, great idea for sure, and well deserved.

    Well, this echoes everything i said earlier in the thread so obviously i think it’s the right decision and nothing you should feel self conscious about. The community is created by the users of course, but those users fluctuate over time - I’ve seen this happen even as someone who’s only been visiting for a few years. Having a name which seems specifically great to users now might seem awful and cringeworthy a little further down the line. Naming it after Loopy Pro avoids any such worries.

    The question i would suggest is: are there any downsides to it being the Loopy Pro Forum? I can’t think of any.

    Do it!

    And then when Apple acquires Loopy Pro we'll have this discussion all over again :wink:

  • Yes, we are all loopy pros! 😉🥨

    +1.

  • Perfectly memorable and benefits our host? Go for it!

  • I doubt you'll find many people opposed to the loopy pro name, gogogo!

    Agree with this. Our benefactor has to make a living in addition to paying the bills on this site. I’m all about supporting business owners.

  • Good for LoopyPro app itself, while extending the place to cover all mobile music making, plus desktop too. No need to feel weird about it, @Michael. Those who use LoopyPro can widen their horizon with the forum's diversity, and those who use other iOS apps will learn more about your app.

    and to add this "Audiobus" was yours in the first place and the Forum was named for it originally.
    When you type "Loopy Pro" into Google the first forum that comes up is the Audiobus Forum.
    That doesn't necessarily mean that new users would make the connection between Loopy Pro and the Audiobus Forum.
    It would take a moment to make the connection however change the forum name to Loopy Pro then that will be the first hit.
    Makes sense. :)

  • Thank you so much, you guys ❤️ Okay, it shall be done!

  • Glad it’ll be Loopy Pro.

    @michael you put up with us all, we’re in your debt.

    Whatever it’s called it’s still the best place on the internet, so many positive and helpful people here.

    Nice, name makes sense in the same way it always has 👍

    PS the notice posted on the main page isn’t looking right in dark mode, I thought it was a loading error until I switched to light…

  • Looking forward to the change. Some fresh new colours :)
    Good luck with all the backend work!

  • I don’t use Loopy Pro so I think it’s a bit weird and not covering what we all do, what is electronic music making or making music with the help of electronics. But whatever gets the most most votes.

    Great choice, I like it! In a way, it’s Audiobus upgraded. Win! 🤩

    Most of us don’t actually use Audiobus any more or ever did, given the alternatives today

    I have Loopy Pro since the beginning and keep the app up to date but I honestly have yet to ever do a single thing with it!

    It’d be good to have a thing [1] catering for people who have bought an app long ago and ignored it for whatever reason, to coax them into familiarity with it

    [1] article, rather than video, probably needs multiple entry points with one exit (a working familiarity with what you bought all those years ago and ignored) – maybe the world needs truly interactive documents for this sort of thing (and education as a whole)

    True about most of us don’t use Audiobus, but the Audiobus forum evolved into something way bigger. That is something else than start fresh with a new name for the community as it is right now. Loopy Pro is weird, as would Drambo or any app name. It should be a name covering the community as it is right now and not the name of an app.

    Sounds great and fine to me, I came here first because of Audiobus the app, and learned so much.
    Now Loopy Pro continues my journey full steam.
    The positivity, support and wisdom that this forum exudes like no other will echo on I feel.
    Loop it!

    ❤️

    Maybe a Loopy Pro sale to coincide with the new forum, to lure in those of us that know we don’t need it, but would gladly spend £20 to support and maybe learn to love it. Yeah I’m cheeky lol

    I think he was making a play on words mainly, Samu, it was a joke. We're loopy (crazy) pros (professionals, likely said tongue in cheek as we're mainly amateurs). That's my take anyway!

  • Nice, the best possible choice I think.

  • Loopy and Loopy Pro is a great music app, really great, but, I have all iterations of Loopy and it’s IAP, but sadly never use Loopy…
    It feels nice to buy apps just to support great developers although you don’t have intensions to use them for now…

    What I want to say is that I don’t like the new forum name…

    In the same time, the AB forum way back to 2012-2013 was about the groundbreaking app Audiobus, but has evolved to a worldwide community with Apple users in almost every continent in the world!

    So, Michael is the boss here, and he wants this name, but I think it’s the wrong forum name if we wanna be a forum for both users and app developer other than Loopy app…

  • I thought the iOS audio community evolved because of Michael and Audiobus. He is respected by the majority of developers on the platform. LoopyPro definitely is not a neutral name, but the Audiobus protocol is going in a different direction, and Apple deprecated Inter-App Audio a long time ago.

    I'm not saying this just to flatter Michael, I'm not an LP beta tester, barely even using the app (waiting for MIDI implementation) except for paying for upgrades regularly. But come on, it's the end of an era. Things will change, but forum neutrality will stay.

  • Loopy Pro is perfect.

  • edited October 18

    If I understood correctly, the "AudioBus" and "LoopyPro" parts of this forum will stay with Michael, but be renamed to "LoopyPro Forum" and located at forum.loopypro.com

    Could have been the LoopyBus forum, @Michael 🤗

    And the parts of this forum about other Apps and other topics will go to different people with a different name and a different location. But that is yet unclear at it seems.
