Question about Koala as AUv3 within Loopy Pro
I'm trying to use Koala within LP, have tried to bring it in as Audio Unit Input and as a Bus, but not able to get sound routed to it either way. Currently trying to route the audio from my Mic, attached to my USB audio device into it. I can see the volume levels bouncing on my mic channel and on other LP channels that the mic is feeding but not able to get any volume input into Koala.
I did try clicking on the little headphone icon in Koala to turn on monitoring, that didn't work to solve the problem.
Input in Koala is set to "Record from Input".
I can see Koala is "ON", not Off/Idle in it's AU window.
I know this ground has been covered in other posts and I read those, but still haven't solved this one. I'm sure it's something simple, but figured I'd ask since I'm still trying to resolve
Thanks

Have you loaded Loala as an AUv3 effect, not an instrument? I believe that's necessary for it to receive an audio input; instruments are generators only.
Thanks @uncledave, I was able to get sound when adding as an effect, but thought I saw some youtube vids where people had Koala in LP with the koala logo at the top of the channel, which made me think that perhaps something technically had changed more recently allowing this, sounds like that was an incorrect assumption. Thanks for the info
An AU loaded as an instrument is for playback only. You would load koala that way only if you had no plan to do sampling.
Fwiw, this is not particular to Loopy. AU instruments cannot have audio input. An AU needs to loaded as an effect to receive audio input.
