Loopy Pro: Looper DAW Sampler

I’ve been trying to find and iPad app or even a collection of apps that don’t make me want to throw this machine out a window. I tried garage band:everything I tapped on sent me to absolutely the place I did not want to go; I’ve been using all kinds of music software for years from the simple to the complex, and I will never understand it. Logic Pro: too much menu diving, not immediate enough for me. Drambo: besides there being no undo, there are several other ways to completely destroy your work in one wrong tap, I’ll still use it because it has a lot of other things going for it, but it’s never going to be my main destination. AUM: don’t feel like I need it anymore because loopy pro has all the mixing features I need + the ability to actually make music too. This is the one. I’m not even a live looper person (if I was I’d probably be even more excited about this app), but it gives me the ability to quickly assemble a bunch of audio clips from auv3 instruments, the mic, external instruments, all tempo synced, play around with effects easily, adjust levels, and finally arrange pieces of things on a timeline. And that timeline is glorious, so intuitive to add audio clips, resize, move, duplicate, delete, and easily arrange everything. It’s so well thought out and implemented, highly recommended!

This is one of the most enjoyable music-creation apps. On my iPhone and iPads (and soon to come: Mac), in the AppStore, or even in existence, anywhere! It’s SOOOO flexible! You can adapt it completely, customize the layouts, the triggers, functions, Inputs/Outputs, every bit of it, to suit what you want to be able to create with it. You can create buttons to do multiple things, even make “invisible” Follow Actions: things that happen following anything specific happening. You can change between multiple layouts, change effects’ parameters, switch between inputs or outputs, even send MIDI Program Changes, at the tap of a button, or a MIDI message. You decide how the app works for you! This app is sooo much more than it seems. I’ve been using it for many months, yet still discover new ways I can make use of its infinite possibilities basically every time I dive into the inner workings! It is continuously being updated with new, exciting features (there’s a roadmap site where you can request and vote on new features/functions) and Michael is super active with his community. I can’t recommend Loopy Pro enough! And I cannot wait for the MacOS version coming soon, to once again totally transform how I create music completely!

I’ve never had so much fun with music before. I have always loved music and envied just how good some musicians are. I just know I could never be that good. I’ve tried for thirty years now. I get to a point were I learn how to play a new instrument but never master anything the talent just isn’t there. So over the years I have collected just enough knowledge on 5 or 6 of them to make some thing sound okay. With Loopy Pro I can take 5 or 6 instruments that sound okay and tweak and rearrange correct pitch, speed and tempo add FX bus sounds together. And create my own on screen controls quickly and intuitively then assign actions to those controls to control just about anything you can think of. Or map midi instruments and actions to your own controllers. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on music software over the years and never had more fun or been able to create anything so quickly and easily before. I think I like it so much because it’s so customizable you can make it look and function any way you like. I’ve never been able to learn a new music software so quickly. And I’ve never been so impressed with the support you get from the developer himself. I’ve asked a question on a facebook group about how to do something in the App. And the developer himself will respond to me. 🤩I Love It!!!
