Compatible with the Audiobus app: Record and loop live audio directly from other Audiobus-compatible apps!

While other music creation apps tend to be either powerful but difficult to learn, or easy to use but limited in features, Loopy doesn't compromise. Loopy offers a sleek, expressive, instantly understandable interface that beginners can start using effectively straight away. It's fun, right from the start.

More advanced users, however, will not be disappointed by Loopy's rich feature set, with extra features many other loopers just don't have. Plus, a sophisticated interactive tutorial system lets users discover Loopy's more advanced features at their own pace.

Brilliant practice tool for long pieces too!

I love Loopy. I play trombone which is a bit of a weird one to play on your own, not so much fun in lockdown. But with Loopy I can play a whole quartet by myself, adjusting balance, re recording a not so good part, and all the time got the metronome in my headphones without it messing up the recording. And I can work on playing really well in time and in tune with myself, listening to the results to check how I’m doing, and end up with a finished piece I’m proud of. It’s very quick and easy to control so doesn’t distract from the music. Just touch a circle and you’re away. And the sound quality is great. You can adjust the reverb to taste. The only thing is i would have liked to share it with my friends more. It’s on Apple devices only. And what works on my device doesn’t always work on theirs . So I’ve ended up writing them a set of general instructions for using Loopy to record long multi part pieces, which covers various states their Loopy may be in.

The best looper for sketching songs I’ve ever known

This Looper in conjunction with an audio interface, connecting to an iPad or iPhone, allows me to configure time signature and tempo, then have a metronome allowing me to keep near to perfect time, while visibly seeing the loops complete themselves is far better than any pedal looper I have ever used and I’ve used a ton. And for what it does this is so cheap, if it had a pedal alternative the difference in expense would be huge. Primarily I use it to construct songs, and try new chord progressions, new riffs, new solos and even incorporate samples in my compositions, both old and new. A top looper/ up to 12 track audio sample recorder I would recommend this to any guitarist like me who has found the pedal world too limited and expensive - this looper is so cheap , and does so much more.

Wonderful, thank you so much!

Best looping app there is!

I bought this at full price and it is worth the money. Beautiful to work with. Ignore previous review about keeping time - you can use the in built metronome to play along to. Just tap 4 times to change the tempo (and all existing loops adjust ok). If you get your timing wrong after you play, then just swipe down on the current loop to re-record or simply twist it to adjust the start. You tap loops to start/stop them or fade them out, and the great thing is that you see what is going on graphically. You can import loops from other apps using audio copy/paste and save each jam session, making this app an infinitely useful tool. I believe the developer will keep adding features in the future (e.g. Reverb) so buy it while it is on sale.

Thank you!
