    I’m still unclear on how/whether we can route its audio as a host back into AUM, which would be ideal for easily transitioning between AUM projects for live performance.

    You'll be able to use Loopy Pro as an AU inside AUM if you like.

    I've deliberately not implemented IAA, as it's been deprecated by Apple, and AUv3 works better anyway.

    Oh! I was hoping to use LoopyPro as the only looper (I mainly loop my guitar) and host all the effects I use on my loops.
    Then redirect it wit IAA into AUM that I use as a mixing desk for all my other input sources an have it synced to LoopyPro so let's say my vocal delay would still sync with all my loops.
    I understand that if I use LoopyPro as an AUv3 I won't be able to use AUv3 inside LoopyPro to effect the single loops.
    Would I be able with LoopyPro to mix and effect sources that don't get looped?

    If I’m not mistaken Loopy Pro will be multi out.
    That means you can have LP auv3 in atom as multiple out instances, each can then have its own track in AUM with its own effects, sends, volumes, etc…

    I don’t see any indication of it being multi out.

    I would love it if it was but currently only a regular loopy pro icon comes up on the list.

    Oh yeah, I just haven't done it yet. It'll be multi out at 1.0.

    I don’t suppose there will be a way to record a session with the camera app on my iPhone ? Vocal jam studio has this feature and I quite like it. I can’t believe there isn’t an easy way to do this already unless anyone knows a way?

  • MichaelMichael

    Second “no” of the day! No, I’m afraid not 😃

  • mistercharliemistercharlie

    @theinfinate Can’t you just use the built-in screen recorder?

    Not that I had any doubt of buying this app before but with multi outs I wish I could throw my money at you right now. This will be a game changer for my workflow. I want to use AUM and live mix with a controller for my dub reggae jams. I can host Loopy pro in AUM and use multi outs and route to diffenrent effect buses. I’m so looking forward to the release. Thank you @Michael

    Has to do with copyright laws.. I can record YouTube with the screen record function but cannot load that file into aum.

    You can drop that file to eg pulse and load eg pulse from aum.

    Is the screen recorder quality ok? People have mentioned round here before that it’s not up to par but maybe it’s better now?

    I can’t hear any difference so for me it’s good enough. If I had to guess I would say the quality is exactly the same because I don’t see why Apple would implement the audio to get converted to analogue signal and then back to digital. Just a guess though.

    Compression is the issue – it used to be appalling compression. Seems less bad now, but it’s certainly not lossless.

    New rc-505 is coming (mk2) and will cost 620 Euro for 5 stereo tracks plus effects. Maybe a good deal for some but I know why I literally can’t wait for loopypro.

  • ASBMASBM

    I remember seeing the early Loopy Masterpiece videos some years ago and getting really excited - I then forgot about it and had some less-than-ideal experiences with hardware loopers, now I am glad to see this is still on track and almost finished.

    @Michael , Loopy Pro is looking incredible. The sequencer in particular is exactly what I'm after and I will buy this immediately when it's released. Well done!

    I have some feature requests taken from experimental loopers. These are definitely not necessary for a functional looper - but if you're looking to extend your long list of features perhaps these will be interesting:

    • Besides the typical record/overdub/play, some Echoplex-inspired features like: replace, substitute, insert. The new Glou-Glou Loupé has these, and their website explains them pretty well: https://glou-glou.org/loupe/
    • The ability to detach the recording playhead from the playback playhead, as can be done on Enso or Blooper.This might be tricky to integrate with the sequencer, but not impossible?
    • (this can probably be done already but worth checking:) the ability to change to playback speed of a loop, and the pitch changes according to the speed (tape-effect)

    If we get some kind of playback speed option or beat matching / syncing I would love to integrate a DJ performance with my other instruments.

    Added to my list. Sounds good!

    Can you link me to an example of this, to save me searching it out?

    Yeah, that'll be in there.

    I think that Chris does a good job explaining it here, starting at 20:00 (the whole play and record head chapter starts at 16:00):

  • Edward_AlexanderEdward_Alexander

    Really looking forward to this @Michael! Everything you’ve shared so far just looks fantastic!

    Hoping I can get in on the beta too!

    Okay, cool.. not sure I'm 100% convinced this is worth the implementation time. I'll stick it on the back burner and if there's lots of demand, I'll look at it again.

    ;) it definitely belongs to the more experimental side of things. I’m happy to keep using Enso for it within Loopy

    I didn't actually think of that but it won't work as I want to hit the buttons on screen so id need loopy to be open on the screen

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    I've pretty much stopped making music on iOS until the public beta. Doesn't seem worth it to invest time into a workflow that I'm pretty sure will soon be superceded... But no pressure!

  • theinfinatetheinfinate

    Something else that I loved from I think it was the kaos pad 3, you can record a loop and slice up the loop. If you look at 2:20 he explains how this works. Although id prefer silence the beats rather than a division so the loop stays the same length.

    Also just a thought that popped up as I love what beardyman does with his beardytron software. Will there be an ability to have a samplebot widget within loopy? That would be so awesome as I love that app

    That my friend, is what a MIDI controller is for 🤓

  • theinfinatetheinfinate

    oh and another thing I loved with the kp3 was the mute button. Its good to slice the incoming audio with a momentary button so its only muted on press. Ive never seen this in any apps but I used it all the time when I had that button, its quite addictive

    Samplebot actually is Loopy Pro (it's the same codebase), so it's all in there.

    yeah I know and I do have many but I have my phone is mounted on my bike as I loop as im riding a bike (as you do) so I wanted to keep the setup as minimal as I can. I use a insta go 2 to film and sync audio in post but thought my phone has a good camera in it so I t would be great if I could do it all with just phone. Also I like to see the app and loops in motion

    Oh hell yeah!!!

    One more thing I thought of is it possible to set up small toggle or momentary buttons for input and output effects (aum and internal) on the looping page. I really really really really like the modular concept of this beast your creating!

    Yep, you can just add buttons and program them to do whatever you want

    it's hard for me to accept that they weren't able to build a proper kp4. it's such a unique box but the effects grew old to my ears.. and no I wasn't impressed by that rainbow quad thing..
