Can do! I didn't save as anything, but it should be easy enough to recreate. I'll get it to you today.
UPDATE: @Michael I think it may have been user error. I'm having trouble recreating it. I wish I had waited to initiate my trial period until the manual was available. I'm so lost in this whole thing. I'm definitely a RTFM person through and through.
Ah, haha, yes indeed, it can be abused for sure, just like HDR and Tonemapping etc can.
Like any tool I have found it can have its uses though. I've found it helpful when restoring photos. Also when I do sci-fi/fantasy themed image compositions/editing it can be very handy indeed. Especially its sky replacement on busy images can save a lot of time.
All of its functionality can of course be done without it too, so for me it has been more about saving time, when appropriate.
Now wondering if it was a good idea to setup a little loopy pro playground last night and today using the iPad for Xmas cooking recipes… every ten minutes find myself switching to loopy pro, it’s so much fun. I think it is what I wanted with out realising it, really fun just recording short loops, sounds, and so on and then just jamming and tagging them to find interesting combinations.
@Michael thanks for a cool app.
Inspiring.
Report: LoopyPro is 100% worth the price. Best Christmas gift!
Edit: to add something, loopy pro kicked me to finały configure audio between two rme interfaces.
As I reported RME OCTAMIC XTC give full 24 outs only in BM3 AUM.
But If you run BM3 and leave in the background then full 24 in/out are available for other apps.
Yesterday I spent about 10 hours with LoopyPro and BM3 in the background (not used BM3 at all, only for enabling 24 outs into LP). And there was 0 crash.
LoopyPro…..my love!
LP does do network MIDI; you should see the name of the remote devices come up in the midi list.
Thanks, I use iMac with not english language, so in AUM i see the network Sieć network 1, on iMac Sesja 1, in LP this port is not available , maybe its because of language?
@szczyp: The equivalent in LP is "Virtual MIDI In," I think.
I would like to, but no. There is no signal from network at virtual, but I can send from others app to virtual…. And it is of course working.
EDIT; i use BM3 in background (for 24 outs in LoopyPro0 so I route from network in BM3 to LoopyPro virtual port , and this is working.
BTW do you know guys how to establish more network ports between iPad and OS X ?
Im able to connect ipad to iMac by wifi or ethernet but always there is one port with 16 ch, ‚i would like to have more ports. Do you know the trick?
Virtual midi in is where midi goes if you send midi from another app to Loopy. Network Session is something different.
@szczyp : Loopy will show a network midi port if there is one but looks like it doesn’t create one itself. It will be visible if you connect to one. I use MidiFire to make sure there is an active port connection.
The network midi port will show up as a midi device with a WiFi symbol rather “network midi”
Merry Christmas @Michael!
Can you add the option to record multiple takes in Clips? Maybe a toggle switch in the Clip settings that will allow users to create new recordings after each bar until the user stops recording. Then users can choose the take they prefer or even comp takes.
Just bought the unlock Loopy Pro - great app…
I’m perhaps not an looperguy, but, it feels nice to support Michael here - and, for his generosity to let us be here on the forum to discuss all kind of software/hardware, not just Audiobus and Loopy…
Just bought the unlock as well, as a Christmas present to myself. I think I’ll lock myself away tomorrow to watch tutorials and start messing around. In the meantime, I thought this community might like the gif I made of my mom’s puppy chasing her tail, looking quite a bit like a LP loop:
It is super useful as a sketchpad even if one isn't (as I am not) a loop-oriented player.
It is also great for setting up accompaniment for practicing or recording takes. I find it a lot quicker to use for those than a full-fledged DAW.
Santa left me an update!
I admit I've not get dug into Loopy Pro but...
...if I would the question is.
When using the Apple Lightning Headset can I select any of the device-microphones (front, back, bottom etc) to do the recording?
I'd like to do this since the mic on the Lightning headset is prone to feedback when monitoring at higher levels...
AUM has nice settings allowing us to select any of the available device microphones for recording even when using a headset.
Cheers!
I don't know what the options are for the lightning headset, but on my iPad 6, I have three mic choices:
Right.
I think Loopy and AUM, or any DAW has their benefits and shortcomings.
I am on the trial of Loopy. I like a lot of things about it, but i also like the simplicity of AUM. Maybe my brain is hardwired in all these years with Faders and Knobs instead of circles
Christmas Day update with MIDI Clock Sync ==> awesome! Follows my hardware clock perfectly and now modular and loops are in perfect sync. Much better than the MIDI Link Sync workaround I’ve been using for the last few days…
Thank you so much, @Michael, for making music creation so fun!
The mixer portion of Loopy is faders and knobs
And you can add them to your non-mixer page layouts, too.
Mixer page:
I noticed them
, I haven't tried it out, but is it still possible to, let's say, an ever evolving midi sequencer like PolyPhase connected to a synth, plays alongside the loops of Loopy Pro?
For some reason, I can't export all the clips from the project-only individually and somehow randomly. What am I doing wrong? Moreover, before exporting, the number of clips is indicated correctly, but not all are exported.
Save to media-Exports normally🤨
How are you trying to export them? There are a few ways to do it.
One of those isn't working, maybe you could post a video or screenshots showing what you are doing and the result?
Thanks!
You likely get those 3 + the headset if you connect one, just like in AUM
(This in practice makes it a lot easier to use the headset to monitor to the recording).
Yes. You can run MIDI AU in Loopy Pro and send their output to any loaded AU instrument.
But PolyPhase is IAA. So then i should run PolyPhase in AUM, and send midi to Loopy
The first way I export clips. But Save media works fine. Via Audio share exports randomly. I haven't tried the other two options yet.
With the selection, too, only one clip exports.
I don't have Polyphase. If polyphase sends MIDI , its virtual port should be visible in Loopy and if it lets you pick a midi destination, it can send to Loopy's MIDI port. If it supports Ableton link, you can use that to start/stop its transport.
What do you mean "via Audio Share exports randomly". If there is a bug, Michael will fix it, but he'll need more details. If you could do a screen recording and make it available (along with an example project that has the problem) that would be helpful. I haven't run into any problems myself (which doesn't mean there isn't an issue).
Have you tried the Save to Files option? If you are sharing to a particular app, it is possible that the app doesn't handle multiple files at once. I always use the Files option -- and, of course, that can be used to save into Audioshare since Audioshare's directory is available in Files. (If you aren't seeing it, you may need to turn the option on in Files)
Is this a problem with all projects or just some?
EDIT: It is important to know if you using the share sheet's Open in/Copy to Audioshare command, Audioshare only accepts one file (this is true from any app). Use Save to Files instead.
