Best App to Create Looping Clips
Looking for the best way to take an audio clip and create a loop from it on my iPhone. Long story short, I’m looking to take AUM recordings and make loops from them, but they’re not clean loop able segments. I’m using LFOs and stuff to create these evolving soundscapes.
What I’ve been told works is to take a section of the audio off the front, move it to the back, and cross fade it in. But I’m not sure if that’s the best way and, if so, what’s best to use to do that. I tried using Cubasis on my phone but it’s very crackly regardless of what I try.

Errr ummm Loopy Pro…
I saw in your other thread you love using Koala. Koala is capable of not only creating loops from recordings, but is capable of crossfade looping as well.
Loopy Pro is also great, but if you're similar to me (you mentioned being neurospicy in the other thread), Loopy Pro could be too overwhelming to use in a quick enough manner. Requires a learning curve and an invenstment of money if you don't already own it and its IAPs, whereas you already have Koala Sampler.
Also neon audio recorder - which like most of Paul’s apps is multifunctional, and can be used like a looper, file player, recorder…
And it works on the phone like Loopy does.
Lots of other options if you google around enough
I know it’s good at live looping, but I’m not sure how you’d actually go about taking non-looping audio and making it a seamless loopable file with it.
I’ll have to play around with Koala and see if I can get it to work right. I feel like it would be difficult to do the kind of chop, shift, and cross fade technique I’m talking about. Unless there’s an easier way I’m not thinking of. The way I know how to do this in Koala would take a ton of trial and error to trim to the exact right spot.
I do have Loopy Pro, bought it when it first came out, but yeah it’s not really for me and my workflows.
(Will re-post when I have a chance to demonstrate for this use case.)
Okay so I hadn’t played with the Koala loop point and crossfade feature. Looks like that gives me exactly what I need. That combined with the fade in and out in AudioShare seems to be giving me really clean loops. Thanks a ton!
Of course, mate.
No arduous audio editing required. Just set the loop points, adjust the crossfade slider, and voila. @rottencat showed me this, and my mind was blown. I thought I knew everything about Koala, and there's still so much to be discovered!
I always use wave box audio editor
Also multitrack by 4pockets
For anyone interested in making "seamless" loops very quickly and easily with cross-fades that don't have to be a set number of bars / beats, then you can record and layer into my "simple looper" SimpLoop, then export your loop.
FWIW, I often use SimpLoop to make soundscapey drone loops directly in AUM - no external / additional editing needed. And here's a little demo:

Works on iPhone / iPad and macOS and pretty CPU-lite.
Universal purchase for $2.99

Have you thought about Blocs Wave? You can zoom in and fiddle with the looping point and you can also slide the whole wave back and forward to wherever you want. As a bonus you can also randomise it in the slicer or arrange the slices as you want.
Can you post a before-and-after of what you are trying to do?
Looks rad, dunno how this release slipped past me. In the video I didn’t see any kinda connection to the AUM transport. Are you able to link SimpLoop to the host at all so you can record loops in bars? I’ve been using Gauss for that but it’s a bit of a hassle to set it up everytime and alter each duplicated track you make. I know that’s not the intended usage for Gauss and completely understand if the case is the same for SimpLoop; just curious 🤙
Hi @Squishy thanks.
And sorry, no SimpLoop doesn't do any host sync, beat quantising or anything like that at all I'm afraid.
Very much what you'd call a "free looper".
Excecpt it costs three bucks...
Cool thank ya kindly
