    That’s a great tip. I have an H6 sitting around and had not thought of using it directly with iPad and loopy because of being new to both. That opens up even bigger scope possibilities. Thank you and just now realised there are some onboard effects in the H6. This is looking good, had tried out an old launchpad mini yesterday, which also plug into loopy through the hub into usb-c port. And am finding the iPad hosts many externals and powers them using a power brick. One company is making power bricks to order. I saw one multi effects box with 2 large power bricks in tandem.

    Very nice video sir, thanks. I'm interested in taking up some looping, so this was quite helpful. However, I'd like to do both guitar and vocals, and wondered if the H6 was suitable for this? I don't want to spend a lot on equipment, but one thing you didn't cover, is if the H6 was a good stepping stone device. In other words, when I want to move onto more advanced things, will the H6 become redundant? I notice that you use other equipment, such as pedals/footswitches in your other videos and I wondered if they replaced the H6 or just supplemented it? Despite its excellent price, I wouldn't want to purchase something that I outgrew in a year's time. I wonder if you have an opinion on these points (vocals and lifespan)? Thanks!

    Thx for this! I have the h5 and it has the distortion you were referring to when recording, to me its like a wobble i hated that. I was looking at the new zoom r4 and now im definitely going for the zoom h6. Your recordings have such a clean clear sound, thanks for all the great info and im about halfway through your loopy pro course, loving it!

    • @max_yar_guitar
      @max_yar_guitar  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, h5 was a huge disappointment, but it's still just a great sound recorder. By the way, don't hesitate to start just using a built-in iphone/ipad mic. I have more demos here loopymax.gofingerstyle.com/#features

    Just switching from Rc505 to Loopy Pro and you are helping me a lot. Thank you!
    I have a question, can you send metronome only to headphones with the Zoom h6?

    • @max_yar_guitar
      @max_yar_guitar  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately, Zoom has only one stereo output. Technically, you can use a splitter cable to have 2 mono channels, but your main mix should be in mono in this case

    Hi Max. Brilliant channel, full of great ideas - and great music. A question, if I may. I followed your example and just got a Zoom H6. But in ‘interface mode’ it’s not possible to record to the H6, and in ordinary mode, the H6 doesn’t show as an input or output to Loopy Pro so it’s only good for using as a high quality mic. Or am I missing something? Many thanks.

    • @max_yar_guitar
      @max_yar_guitar  9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thanks! 😊 You’ll need to use the Zoom H6 in interface mode to get it working properly with Loopy Pro. While the H6 itself can’t record in this mode, Loopy Pro has a built-in recorder that lets you capture your entire jam.
      Just look for the REC button in the top-right corner. In the Configuration settings, you can choose what to record-input signal, loops, output mix, and even effects. Everything is customizable. For most cases, selecting Combined Output or Combined Input and Output works best.
      If storage is a concern, you can disable Lossless Recording to save space. Once everything is set up, just hit Start Recording, and you’re good to go! Hope that helps!

    Thank you for this video! For some reason, I was able to get my H6 working correctly with loopy pro once, and now I can’t get it to work at all? The app will no longer recognize the device. Any ideas what’s going wrong? I’m not seeing a button for input selection on Loopy Pro’s input channel? Thank you!

    • @max_yar_guitar
      @max_yar_guitar  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! Make sure your Zoom H6 is in audio interface mode, as shown at 5:13 in the video. If the app isn’t recognizing the device, double-check the connections and ensure your iPad/iPhone is detecting the H6

    Hi man, love your videos, they are inspiring me.
    Do you think your setup would work with a zoom H4essential as well? It's half the price of a h6 around my town 🇩🇰🇩🇰

      @max_yar_guitar  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I haven’t tried the Zoom H4 Essential myself, so I can’t say for sure if it would work as smoothly as the H6. I’d suggest keeping your receipt, just in case you need to return it. And if you’re buying from a local store, maybe see if they’ll let you test it with your Apple device before finalizing the purchase

      The answer is at 2:46
      You should use plugged instruments on stage. You can use any audio interface for that (including Zoom H6). More: th-cam.com/video/LtNlcWgWTUY/w-d-xo.html

    • @max_yar_guitar
      @max_yar_guitar  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for your kind words! The Zoom H6 is a good device, but it’s not the most convenient as an audio interface since you’ll need to select the mode in the menu each time you start it, and you’ll have to frequently change the batteries.
      I’m currently looking for a suitable interface with 4 outputs myself. Two options I’m considering are the Arturia Minifuse 4 and the iRig Pro Quattro. Hope this helps!

    Hello, thank you for the video. I am very new to loopy pro and coming here from a classical music . Is there any way you can have different time signatures in the same session? Lets say you have regular 4/4 but then you need 2 bars in 3/4 and tham going back to 4/4? Is there anyway to do that kind of thing? Thanks

    • @max_yar_guitar
      @max_yar_guitar  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hello! Thanks! Yes, you need to create 2 custom widgets for that. One is to set 4/4, and another for 3/4. Look for the action called "Adjust Beats Per Bar." If you'd like to do that automatically, set the timing (empty circle on the left from the action)

  • @gokaysezen
    @gokaysezen 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm currently trying to get the hang of using Loopy Pro. I have a Zoom H5, which I believe is not compatible with Loopy Pro as Max said. I've noticed that it has inconsistent behavior and I've tried enabling and disabling direct monitoring, but it still has issues. At times, there is too much latency, while other times there is none. Additionally, sometimes the sound is distorted. I am very disappointed that I cannot use the Zoom H5. I want to use Loopy Pro on stage with a pickup on my guitar. I'm wondering if there is a solution for the Zoom H5 to fix this issue. I don't want to buy new gear, I want to stay minimalist on stage.
    By the way, I have a Steinberg UR22 audio interface, but I found out that it is not compatible with my iPad too. I did try connecting it with a USB to lightning adapter, but it didn't work. Although I haven't tried using a camera adapter with a charging socket, I don't think it will work either."
