    Retrospective recording sounds good even as a Logic Pro user like me

    Passive Recording would be clear to me, but I might be special.

    Some AU windows (position and size is saved with project, so it all comes back up again)

  • david_2017david_2017

    You’re on FIRE 🔥 awesome to see these plugins as windows! Looks wonderful!

  • JumpercollinsJumpercollins

    App of the year this one definitely.

    What does that expandable bar along the bottom do? It looks associated with the active window?

    Effects list; tap to toggle the effect on and off, tap the expand button on right or swipe left to open the UI (also, dragging left hides that expand button, dragging right shows it).

    😄 Almost there now. Already in (very limited so far) testing.

    😱 holy shit, floating windows!! that is huge!!!

    How would one switch tracks for that bottom bar effects list? As in to the different fx chains of each color group (i think color group was conceptually a "track" if i am remembering correctly?). Is it possible to have windows floating from multiple fx chains at once?

    @Michael a little less transparency or a toggle would be better. The bloom obscures some of the detail see: Dynamics window graticule.

    Maybe it will respect the ‘Reduce Transparency’ setting under Accessibility’s Text & Display settings?

    Two ways: in the project set up screen you can select the input channel and colour targets for each effect. And on the play screen, you can drag upwards from the effect bar to a colour to immediately apply that effect to that colour (and repeat the process to undo it).

    Yeah you can have as many windows as you like 🤷

    Oh that’s a good idea! I’m planning on adding a setting somewhere that will disable all of the effects for those who don’t want them, but that’s a much better way to do it.

    Oh interesting, am I understanding you correctly then that every effect you instantiate will show up in that bottom bar, and those little color dashes on the bottom of each item in the list, show which color targets it is currently applying to?

    Yup that’s right. You can hide effects too; some you won’t want to touch after setting them up.

    Wow, that is super interesting. I may remember you mentioning this earlier in the thread, but if you then assign the same auv3 instance to multiple colour targets, are those targets then mixed together?

    Basically it depends - Loopy constructs a render plan behind the scenes. It may mix groups together to run them all through the same effect, or it might create multiple instances (which happens invisibly, and state is kept synced between the instances).

    If, for instance, all the groups have the same effects and output applied, then they’ll be mixed together and run through the same chain. But if for example groups have different output channels selected, it will duplicate the effects to keep the chains separate.

    Hell ya, that is exactly what I was wondering, thanks! That is actually such a big deal. First of all, love the concept that you just have this pool of effects that you can drag and drop around to different colors without thinking about it. I think that is very in the spirit of loopy, which is like the audio pool equivalent of that. I.e. you don't really have to think about the discrete tracks until you want to.

    Second, for live jamming, that would allow you to have master fx that apply to all channels(colour targets), while still being able to record each channel separately on different outputs for later mixing. very cool!

    Yeah that’s the idea!

    I just sit around thinking.

    Thought a good looper might have the best effects. Sort of like a turnado/yellofier. Lets say you are busy making a track. You launch a sample. Sample is on looper. Looper knows threshold. Looper also calculates sample length in relation to a grid of maths. Effects would sound perfect. Stutters etc. Auto pitches. Can be triggered manually or by AI but also with probabilty. Overdubs with also AI effects/probabilty.

    Some of that's certainly on the cards; loopers/samplers can definitely do things that effects that operate on a stream of audio can't, like playing in reverse.

    Hey Michael, hope you’re doing great! Any sneak peek of the mixer by any chance :D? I’m particularly curious about volume control at track level. It would be great if one could access volume controls and output destination from the main looping view so that we could mix/remix and monitor our loops prior to sending them to the main out. Thanks!
