Loopy Pro: Looper DAW Sampler 4+

It’s to much FUN!!!! 🎶🎸🥁🎺🎤🪘

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!!!

Developer Response ,

Thanks heaps! That’s great to hear!

This is the one

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!

That’s wonderful to hear, thank you so much!

The mothership has arrived

This is what I’ve been looking for in my journey of iOS music software as a hub for live clip launching and looping. Although there are features to use as a full DAW (that I’ve not yet explored), the possibilities for live set up, looping, clip manipulation are endless. Especially since it integrates AUV3s so well. This is as close (and in some ways better) as you will get to ableton live for the iOS.

This software, although simple and colorful in appearance is very deep. So beware, it will take some time to figure out how to customize and learn your way around this. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds and frustrated. I almost considered a 4 star review as I’m learning (and sometimes getting lost) on all the functions, but this is still just head and shoulders above any clip launcher or looping software that’s on the iOS. You also have a very responsive support network for troubleshooting and a developer that is responsive and committed to continue to make this even more awesome. I am certain this will keep getting better and better. Quite frankly, I never write reviews but I’ve never been as excited about, not just a live performance tool, but a truly creative platform for making music on the iPad. This is a game changer.
