it's strange how well-intentioned presenters tend to give way too much information, or on the opposite extreme, they don't tell you the critical info you need to use the thing they're demonstrating. Your video is just the right mix... enough to GET GOING, but not so much it's mind-boggling. Thanks!!
Starts with "I'm the developer of ...." I've said for years "its so distracting when someone looks down and clicks a pedal", but I just moaned and complained, you actually took action!! You're a genius! Thank you!!
What a brilliant tutorial for new musicians. What is so important here is you can actually visually see what buttons Micheal is pressing, thank you, So many other tutorials for loopy neglect to do this just saying press here leaving you guessing where here is? that can be so frustratingly difficult to newbie’s leaving you rewinding twenty times to try and catch a clue. On the downside I do know quite a lot of more advanced musicians who can not use loopy pro due to the limitations it imposes when choosing bars and time signatures that go beyond the normal or into the twisted twilight zone, this was actually easily achieved in loopy HD that could loop exactly what was recorded IE if you had a piece in 13 /8 timing it would loop round in 13 eighth notes! another example at 4.48 seconds of this video it is said you can set the bars to whatever you like but this is no longer the case with odd numbers 3 ,5 7, etc. now unavailable that’s unfortunate as a lot of new musicians are extremely interested in taking music beyond the traditional time frame. I agree the majority of musicians are definitely not Frank Zappa would never need to go beyond compound timings and play happily with sweaty hands 😂 As a percussionist who hopefully accurately strikes on the downbeat, like most drummers and guitarists who should be able to do so perfectly, the ability in loopy pro to trigger on the downbeat is essential and is definitely the first default setting that has to be removed or changed back. Fortunately, loopy pro gives us the options to customise to our particular taste. It is really important to be able to get that first loop to be completely accurate and I would be interested in other musicians settings to achieve this. What is your method? Guitarist, for example, may like to use audio threshold recording but there are so many variations available. It can get quite daunting as to what would be the best way. What’s yours?

Thank you Michael, this videos are helping me a lot, it is great that the developer himself takes the time to teach us, this is very significant for me, loopy pro, the best looper app! Cheers from México City!! 🙏🏼😊
Is there any way I can activate the digistix drum kit in loopy pro with a foot pedal so I could play a kick and snare beat with my feet while playing the guitar? I love the sound in loopy pro but can’t play with my hands the drums and guitar @ the same time. Would be nice if I could play live with my feet.
This is great that your showing this. I don’t understand why the loop can just quantize on the beat if you set it for 4 bars for example. The extra press to set the loop is extremely hard for timing. Also it would be cool to see Warp markers to slide and adjust parts within the loop.
I’m afraid I’m having a little trouble understanding exactly what you’re referring to there - would you mind telling me a bit more, or perhaps doing a little demo video showing the trouble?
This app is a masterpiece! But I coudn't find any video showing unsynced loops nor off grid recorded loops in the seq. Is it impossible to do? I'm interested in small or even supersmall unsyc pieces of audio captured and played during the performance. I also want to know if it is possible to start recording the loop with the fingerpress (as usual) and start playing it back just when I release the finger (similar behaviour in the old digidelay pedal from digitech, the only one I know that does it), to obtain very short loops, with a kind of freezing effect. Can you somehow customize some clips or widgets or stuff to do this, inside LP?

Is there a way to record directly to the LP timeline as I’m starting/stoping my loops instead of manually building my loops on the timeline? This is the best looper on iOS by far. 🙏🙏
It would be incredible if you could develop a feature that recognizes the tempo of a drum and creates a bpm detection like ableton tempo Follower. That +midi bluetooth would change the world.
I have been using Loopy since the early days, and thought it was great…then came Loopy HD and blew my mind. I never would have imagined that HD would be topped by Loopy Pro! Thank-you for this great product Michael…you are a genius!
I've used many different loopers and have worked for decades with various software and DAWs on Windows since 1998. I just bought an iPad Pro and Loopy Pro. This is the first time in my life that I've owned an Apple product, and the reason is because of your creation: "Loopy Pro." I believe this is absolutely the best looper ever, and the settings are incredibly flexible. There has never been anything as well-built as Loopy Pro before. I can confidently claim to have a lot of experience working with software, so yes, you deserve a big thank you. Very, very well done!
@@ATastyPixel Hi Michael, I'm still trying to figure out one thing I couldn't find out yet. I'll take a chance on asking you here directly: Let's say I'm recording the rhythm on the first track in "multi mode." Then, I let it loop for a while. Next, I record the guitar on track 2 in "single mode." I let it loop for a while as well, and I do the same thing for track 3 (in single mode). But then, when dubbing the second track with the bass (an octave lower), I want to be able to directly dub track 3 with the bass right after track 2 has just finished dubbing, like a dubbing continuity from track 2 to track 3. I think this should be possible with only three buttons, isn't it right? I mean, with a MIDI foot controller
I've been noodling around with Loopy Pro for a few months. Watching this video would have saved me countless hours of horsing around trying to learn your remarkable program. Loopy Pro has more than paid for itself as I've been able to sell off most of my old pedals and sound twisters because LP works so well with programs like Tone Pro. I now just carry my guitar, and audio interface and my iPad. I can output to any amp or the house PA. It all fits in my guitar case. So I'm still learning. Extra thanks to Markus K, Max Yar and everyone at Loopy Pro Wiki for their guidance. None of it would have been possible without your hard work and relentless updates.
Hi, Michael, thanks for these vids. Do you think you could do a video on how to mapping out a basic rock song (let’s say, a b & c section) using, say, guitar/bass/drums? In the timeline, so the loops (e.g. section A guitar, followed by section A bass, etc.) are all planned out but you can “re-perform” it live, hands free, by getting counted in and recording the preset loop parameters in sequence again all the way thru the layers and sections to the end. I think if LP users can master this in a basic way it will really open up the insane level of power this app possesses which no other software does. Thanks.
I think this two tutorials embrace almost exactly your concern: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W3szA8flnA0.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mDk33JUUpp0.html . Hope it helps
For me, loopy pro is one of the most exciting and creative developments in audio software in recent years. It's really unfortunate that it's only available for the high-priced Apple world. Many musicians are therefore left out, unfortunately. Still, very exciting tool.
You can buy an iPad for $200 and have access to a universe of inexpensive apps that replace thousands of dollars of traditional hardware or even desktop PC setups. This is one of the cheapest ways to get into music production these days.
I love loopy But please dont change it to often or to mutch like others disrbuters does then you Will get many Buying this i bought this Today and its the best program thanks Micheal ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😃😃😃
Hello! my name is Quio Araujo, I've used my name is Quio Araujo, many different loopers and I've been working for decades with different software and DAWs on Windows since 1998. I just bought an iPad Pro and a Loopy Pro. This is the first time in my life that I have an Apple product, and the reason is its creation: "Loopy Pro".
I am still missing one feature request i posted months ago (which is a must for boss rc505 users)😢 which is to be able to have different quantization for first recording and overdubs, so we can make like boss rc505, in which first recording has auto count in and out, but after that, subsequent overdubs start and stop recording right away when tapping the donut (right now it will wait for the loop quantize, and doesn’t allow you to quickly add an extra sound to your loop, the way that loop artist do) Anyways it is impressive how many options we already have, keep the good work
I was about to protest that this is indeed already possible, but after playing with it for awhile I think I see what you mean - you can’t use the one trigger for both recording the first loop and going in and out of overdub with no quantisation. You can do it with two buttons, but we need separate actions at the moment. I’ll have a think about how best to make that work - have you added this to the roadmap already? (roadmap.loopypro.com)
@@ATastyPixel i see it implemented the same way you can define different settings for colors than the main clip settings, that is, with a check box in the main clip settings under recording quantizatiom settings that says something like “Apply different settings for overdubs” and when activated below you show the same controls for setting auto count in and out etc, but if checkbox is unselected overdubs behave the same as Recording settings
Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to have a count-in on the first recording. I want to have a 1 or 2 bar count in. But it seems to start recording immediately. I have viewed this tutorial and the manual, but can’t figure it out. Maybe I am missing something? Thanks for any help.
Good afternoon, my name is Quio Araujo, I am Brazilian and I would like to know. Please, what is the procedure to make Loop Pro recognize the connection with the Audio Interface for recording procedures and operations in projects in Loppr Pro?

Thx for the video. You didnt mention what kind of files you can import into loopy pro and at what sound quality/resolution? I need to import 48khz 24 bit Wav-files - is that posible?....also can you edit the length of the sample within loopy using 15 secs of a 20 sec sample for instance?
Hi! Is there a way to monitor the loop instead of the inputs while recording? Or a way to automatically turn off the monitoring of inputs while not in use? I run a 5 instrument setup and would like the leakage outside of looping to be minimal between instruments (especially in smaller venues) Turning off the inputs automatically when not in use would help a bunch 🥳 Awesome software, looking forward to the Mac version 🙌
Nvm! Found it, to anyone else having a hard time figuring this out; set the mute/unmute button on the input channel to follow the start/stop record of the loop 🎉
I didn’t write down the community forum for loopy pro. Right now the app is not saving my work. I get an error message about “unable to save because the .mysql file does not exist”
Ive been trying to stick with Loopy pro, but the one thing i cant seem to figure out is, if I record my first loop and it happens to be 8 bars, every subsequant loop has to be 8 bars. Can I not have loop 1 be 8 bars, and then loop 2 be 12, and loop 3 be 14 etc.
If you use the sequencer to lay out the tracks, then you can export from there with effects applied (assuming the AUv3s in question support offline rendering, which most do!). Or you can use session recording (the "REC" button on the top toolbar) to record and export the live audio.

I just so happen to own the LPPMK3 and the APC40mk2, what I would like to know, is it possible to have independent layouts on each? ie, I can have the APC40 as a 'mixer, and the LPP as the Widgets. So make Page A mixer and Page B widgets Thanks in advance, absolutely cant wait to get into your amazing product!
Yep, you can do that - you can pretty much set things up however you like. There's default bindings set up for both those devices, but you can make your own.
Michael, as a fellow developer I know how hard it is to build apps that really fit real life use cases. You’ve nailed it here with Loopy Pro. We’re you exhausted when you made this video? I hope you are getting enough sleep with all this coding!
Everything I record/loop is clipping and very distorted. I'm using my acoustic and the iPhone mic. I tried moving it farther away. I've tried lowering the input. Help please?

auto Loop Detection doesn't seem to be working when the iPad is used in a split-screen fashion. I am trying to record Conga sound (app on my iPad). It captures sound but does not auto-fill the loop area as per your example (it leaves a large gap at the end). It does work in normal mode using my voice.
I’d be interested to see some samples of the loops that aren’t being detected properly. I’d you record some, you can send them to me (email address in “Help” in the app)
Michael, it looks like there is something wrong somewhere in my clip setting. Now I am completely unable to use Loop Detection properly. I have sent you an email with my project attached.
Nice explaining building to a Holy sh*t moment by 3m50s. As a seasoned musician this is great to know, and amazing that finally someone has understood and built what is intuitively needed in a looper. A quiet looping revolution.
Stella work mate I’m doing the trial now. I’m hoping to import multiple one shot kick drum samples of various velocities and step sequence them into loops then assign them to midi foot switches for a four on the floor drum pulse under my loops and for live sound reinforcement Is it possible to sequence one shots this way ? And most importantly assign tap tempo to a midi switch to control the kick bpm in real time as I play guitar ? Thank you
Hi Michael. I thank you for the amazing Loopy Pro. It is by far the most feature-packed and intelligent designed app I’ve ever seen, with an amazing architecture and ui. The users mind is the limitation (I know mine is 😊).
I'm so late to this. Thank you it makes me super happy. Wishing it will be able to send cc automations to hardware synth, then resample this as an audio loop = heaven @@ATastyPixel
There basically isn't one... I tested it a couple years back during development and got something like 128 playing clips on my iPad Air 2 going before I got bored and stopped making more. The main limitation is running AUv3 effects, rather than playing clips.
Class! Thanks for the reply. My idea is to have loopy running on an Ipad sitting in a case, closed under a fader fox PC12. If i could get all the pots configured to midi, i could mix stems and loops on the fly, like a pot luck system mixing and matching along with my live set. The ipad would be like the hidden brains for my PC12, adding layers and drum loops to my euro rack / octatrack setup. @@ATastyPixel
ATastyPixel - can we have a tutorial on how to connect a hardware midi keyboard to control notes on an AUV3 plug-in in Loopy Pro? I’d like to control 4 different AUV3 synths in Loopy Pro with my new LaunchPad Pro. Thanks.
@@ATastyPixel ahhh okay. Was hopping you had a guide on how to do this. I really like how you do your tutorials. Since you built this, you know how to get right to the point and make it consice. Like how you’ve done your other Loopy Pro Videos. Hope he drops his video soon.
@@ATastyPixel Thank you Michael for getting back to me on this. I was able to get LaunchPad Pro MK3 to play an AUV3 Synth on Loopy Pro. Though it would only play the first of 2 synths I had assumed were midi channel 1 and channel 2. Turns out, that is NOT the case. You dont have midi channel selection and setting capabilability on Loopy Pro, do you? Cause if you did I should be able to set midi channel 1 on LP Pro to control Loopy pro channel 1 synth and set channel 2 on LP Pro to control channel 2 synth on loopy pro. Well shoot I was really hoping to make Loopy pro be my AUM replacment. I’m guessing AUM level of channel routing is a feature request. Bummer.
@@letssamplethis7641 Yep, you can do that in LP. Tap a midi destination to set channel and note range. Do join one of the communities to discuss: loopypro.com/communities
Such a great app indeed! Can't wait to use at my gigs as vst plugin for my DAW on Windows laptop. Is there a release date for such possibilty or maybe some plans on that matter? P. S. Cause Mobius looper I am using right now is pretty much expired compared to Loopy Pro.
Windows is going to be a fair way off, I'm afraid; macOS is coming this year, but a Windows port is a bigger job, and I've got enough on my plate already 😁
On the default screen, why don't you have different colours to show what state you are in. Eg. Red for Record Mode, Green for Playback, Blue for overdubs etc?
Any word on the plugin version of this for MacOS? I'm excited to integrate it into my Ableton workflow as it looks much more usable than Ableton's stock looper :)
Someone please let me know how to record multiple loops without the previous loops playing onto the new loop I'm recording? Is there a setting in the mixer of loopy pro? Help!
It sounds to me like you're perhaps recording with the device's speaker and the internal mic. You can limit feedback this way by using the built-in echo cancellation system (you should see the prompt to calibrate it at top right), but this is a very suboptimal way to use any looper, because the mic is going to capture the output from the speaker. You should be using either headphones, or a decent-quality cardioid mic that rejects noise.
Thanks 🙏 but no, I'm recording into loopy pro with a mixer and an electric guitar plugged in. If I have drum and bass going on two loops and I try to record my electric guitar, it picks up the bass and drum from the other loops. It's not a microphone issue. Please help! It just configured wrong I think.
@@PJmusica Ah! I beg your pardon. Do you perhaps have some loops sending to others? (in the "Destinations" section of the mixer, for your colours, do you have any colours there?)
On my iPhone when I return to "default settings and use a mic 🎤 it works fine but with my Soundcraft mixing console going direct into my iPad I've been having problems with tracks recording onto the track I want to record a new instrument on. I think I might have the solution. Thanks for helping. For the most part I just love loopy pro. It's a blast.
@@PJmusica Okay - I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that hardware, but I have heard of some hardware that does feed the output back to the input. You might need to contact the support folks from Soundcraft to get some help maybe? You'll be able to see for sure if you start something playing in LP, then you see it showing up on the input channel.
Hi I appreciate your tutorials very much, I'm a guitar player and I used to play loops with my boss loop station: I'm now trying loopy pro and it seems really great. I have a irig blueboard Bluetooth pedal but I find difficult to pair it with loopy pro. I would really appreciate you to do a step by step tutorial about it, thanks!
Thanks! You might wanna check the Blueboard manual - you need to put it in the right mode before you'll find it in the MIDI devices list. download.ikmultimedia.com/plugins/Manuals/iRigBlueBoard/iRig-BlueBoard_User_Manual.pdf?513c3ad78c9fbadfb0830893ecdf10e9053fe011cead851654d33e31937ac6247414daf61973d521bb64b2 Page 9. In short: "Push and hold the “B” button and then switch ON the device. This way the BlueBoard will start up in MIDI over Bluetooth mode 1. After this the Status LED will start flashing blue."
Hi I am struggling to make widgets work through a midi pedal as I program the midi learn but it doesn’t work. The widgets are assign to do function such as clear clips in specific groups.
Hi! Oh yes, this is a known issue in the current version - a fix on its way over the next few days. The workaround is to use a project profile, rather than a global one, for widget actions.
