To disable audio input after recording:
Put a follow action on the donut you are recording:
‘Finish Recording’->’Mute/Unmute Audio Source’->Target: the audio source
Action: Mute.
This app is amazing! Here is my quick first run with it - a little turntablism jam. I don't use any fancy features here (yet) so don't consider this any kind of demo. I feel like this is going to be my main tool for my little jams. Thank you @Michael
Hey Audiobus Forum, long time listener, first time caller. Wanted to give a big thank you to @Michael for this amazing software, it’s truly mind blowing!
This question is to anyone in the know, is there a PatchStorage.com page coming soon or is there someplace where Loopy Pro templates are being shared currently?
I’ll take the answers off air, thanks again!
Peace
And if you're like me and you forget to re-enable the audio source when you want to record a new loop, you can also put an Action: Un Mute for Start Recording as well.
I think all it takes is someone asking the patchstorage folks to create a Loopy Pro section.
Michael wasn't really into the idea of hosting on patch storage. I think he would prefer to to host something himself.
My live playing has improved about 500% since I joined the beta. I'm almost at the point that I actually prefer toughing it out getting good audio loops than keeping a bunch of MIDI around to tweak forever.
Add me to the list of people who really aren’t loopers yet I will be using Loopy Pro quite extensively. The ability to easily record loops using several different methods from mic, hardware, and AU instruments plus being able to put them through FX is excellent. If all else fails, I can always edit the loops too.
Being able to sequence by playing the loops and recording the performance or manually entering them in the sequencer is great. I like all of the options for buses and sends plus room for master FX too.
Even IAA apps can be fodder for loops if I use Loopy Pro in an AU host that supports IAA.
All of my loops I’ve made over the years but never quite found a home for will find new life. The ability to drag and drop audio files from Sample Crate is very nice way to do this.
I look forward to seeing the various workflows people come up with for Loopy Pro. It’s a deep app with many pathways that can be overwhelming if you try to learn it all at once. There are a lot of user videos I’ll be checking out over the course of the next couple of months.
I look forward to how Michael and the Loopy Pro community collaborate to come up with new features and abilities over the years. Very glad there’s a way to support this on going development. I’m confident Michael will be diligent about fixing any bugs that arise.
This app is truly a game changer. Purchased Day one. No brainer. There’s something I’m unable to find though:
After I’ve recorded an arrangement into the sequencer, I would like to render out the sequencer into an audio file, either as a single stereo render or having one render for each mixer channel (stems) for mixing in an external DAW. I can’t seem to find this option; am I missing something?
If this feature is not there, is there any way to render out the audio?
Touch the REC button in the upper right, make sure Record Audio is enabled, then touch Start Recording. Once you start the transport, the sequence mix will be recorded.
I’m certainly not deleting Enso - the sector functionality is still unique to that app, and LP doesn’t yet have some basic functionality that I consider essential for serious use (reverse, half-speed, feedback).
Is discrete stem rendering available (rather than a full mix render)?
Got it, thank you so much! I just saw that it can even record out each channel; this is brilliant!
Here’s my first crack at using Loopy Pro.
For what it’s worth, I wasn’t on the beta, and I’d never tried using the OG Loopy HD either, so this is my very first encounter, and very first time using these “Loopy Donuts” lol
Quite fun!
Does standalone LP support audio interfaces?
I personally don’t see> @Littlewoodg said:
Yes
Yes
Is there anyway to ‘edit’ the slicer? Moving start points, etc?
Good post this.
Very good analogy, and absolutely right
The fun part of doing these things is they lead to things being done, which is far more than half the battle...
Like that a lot, great grove
@quartzite @wim Thanks for the replies, wasn’t sure of the etiquette for patch sharing with this one. I’ve seen a few individuals linking to their own files, thought I saw mention of a PatchStorage page in the earlier thread, was thinking I might find a dedicated Loopy Pro patch sharing thread on this forum. In any event it should be exciting to see what the community does with this…much like Drambo, it has enough functionality to entirely recreate some other apps within a project file, with the planned updates it sounds like the sky’s the limit.
Not at this time. Currently it either uses an transient detector or evenly distributed slices.
Thanks @wim @GRiker @JohnInBoston. All good tips!
LP is deep! I hadn't gotten into the follow actions yet. I know it's workflow dependent but for me, being able to auto toggle the mute/unmute for input was super key for using LP as AU. So, thanks!
Alright, please someone help out a bit. I routed Hammerhead AU and recorded 3 different loops (the 2 bright red donuts and the one teal one) no problem. Then loaded Animoog AU, set it up for pink to monitor, but when I record pink, nothing records. However, I have retroactive feature turned on and when I go back there is the tail of what I’m playing. My brain is fried at this point and I’m prob missing something obvious, but I have to solve this before I sleep.
if using retroactive looper, did you play for at least one clock cycle (the number of bars set in the tempo panel) after playback started before tapping the loop? just making sure: you played what you wanted to capture before tapping an empty loop. Are you using the immediate or quantized setting?
@oat_phipps : i notice that you are monitoring through both the color and the main output. You probably only want through one of those.
