Holy cow, I’ve been praying for such an app since years. I’ve got an iPad 6 today and one one the first thing I’ve done is installing Loopy Pro. What a game changer! Thank you for the eyes opening vid. Keep looping through sunny days and electronic nights!

I thought exactly the same! Really quickly worked round the app covering basically everything, but with none of the rambling drivel you usually get on TH-cam
Finally, I have been waiting for you to make this video.i wanted to see how you use the app. Michael really came through with loopy pro. He left it open for more and more. The app will never stop growing. Part of the design is for just that, never ending growth. Yipppeeee.
I've been dreaming about this kind of stuff since i was looping on linux with sooperlooper and a midi controled phone connected to fingerplayMIDI ... my god this i sa wonderful peace of software, thanks a lot Mickael !! (and a big big shoutout to you John !)
Couldn't agree more! It’s amazing what this app can do!! Have a look at the series we are making at the moment! th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaYsDmWvl2tqZr3flIVH2ffl.html
I love all your looping tutorials. You are such a good teacher. One thing that I can't do so far is record multiple loops simultaneously. I already assigned independent hardware inputs to 4 loops/tracks and I can't see how to control them 4 as one. What I'm trying to do is create live loops with 4 live instruments as in a 4 members band. I would greatly appreciate if you point me in the right direction. God bless you.
Hey Maria 👋 Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. To record multiple loops at the same time, go to settings (three bars on the top right), click on clip settings and scroll down. You will see an option for “Simultaneous Recording”. It is off by default. Switch that on and make sure you have your inputs from your mixer set to the inputs you want to record. Hope that helps. 👍🏼
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Thanks so much! I got it recording multiple tracks at the same time on the sequencer. What I still can't do is to free loop. I mean with no pre determine tempo nor loop length. I have to work a little more on this. 😊 God bless you.
Great - really looking forward to seeing more tutorials on LoopyPro. I’m just getting into guitar and vocal looping and I’m hoping this (via my Focusrite Scarlett) can replace the need to buy a physical looper.
This is the video I needed when I joined the beta however many weeks ago. It’s a considerable leap, going from how Loopy HD works. Anyway, thank you so much for this!
I’m one of those with loopy HD and this loopy pro looks amazing. My only concern is whether or not my old 32gb iPad is up to the task. One of these days if I cop some dosh from somewhere, I’ll treat myself to an iPad Pro with a big fat hard drive so I don’t have to keep bringing apps back from the cloud. Then it will be truly mobile without the need for an internet connection 😊
I’ve seen people use it inside AUM and it’s amazing! But yeah you could just run with Loopy Pro as it basically has the modular mixer and Audiobus built in.
Not quite…the midi source functionality isn’t there…tried using GeoShred as midi source for swam trumpet but no audio coming out of swam when the keys are clearly being triggered. It works in AUM though.
Great video @JohnPaulMusicUK, may I ask how did you managed to user the ipad mic and output the audio without any interference from the current loop you record before? How did you managed to do this live session demo without the headphones using the built-in microphone?
Hey Pedro 👋 Great question. So I used the internal mic but you’ll notice the iPad is plugged in and the audio is going out to headphones that are just out of shot of the camera, which are turned down just enough for me to hear but so the mic can’t hear them. It takes practice to do this. Then also there is another microphone above me connected to the camera for normal talking. Hope that makes sense. The best way really is with an audio interface and a dedicated mic.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK awesome, thanks a lot for the reply. Is it possible to do a setup with an audio interface that let me use an external monitor and a mic without the need of an headphone, or it will have feedback from the audio monitor always? Love your videos, learning a lot about the tool. Thanks for all the work you are doing!!

Nice. It's like someone saw Beardyman's setup and decided to make their own, then decided to make a system for other people to design their own personal Beardytrons.
Certainly has. Originally it was going to be called ‘Loopy HD: Masterpiece Edition’ but then changed it to Loopy Pro so.. yeah you’ve hit the nail on the head there.
I’m new to the iPad looping app thing……I’m a guitarist, have several iPad apps for guitar processing (JamUp pro, Bias FX etc) I have the trial version of Loopy Pro but I can’t seem to get the processed guitar signal from these apps into Loopy Pro. I’m using the Xtone Pro interface. Is this looper not optimal for guitar or am I just missing the “know how”? Great video BTW……I love your channel!
So to get any apps that are AUV3 plugins or act as an audio interface, you need to open the mixer (bottom left) and then click the + button on the bottom right. You will have a few options. Try them all. Some of them might be classed as an audio unit. If it’s not there, then it’s not been made as an auv3 plug-in. But fear not, it could be an audio source. Click ‘add hardware input’ and a new channel will pop up with initially the same microphone as the iPad. Click on the ‘pre fade effect’ + and see if it’s an effect to be added to that channel. Then just make sure your on the same channel as your guitar. 👍🏼 Will be making a video about all these things soon if that’s easier. But hope that helps. 👍🏼
Great stuff! Now for us RC300 users thinking about upgrading to 600, is this something to consider instead? Can it do everything the 600 does and even more or is there limitations/pains except the total price to get a decent audio IO, Midi foot controller and another iPad. What about latency and fix quality, routing? Keep up great work and thanks 🙏🏼
This is a TOTAL curveball when it comes to hard area looping cause, yes you will need an iPad, an audio interface and a foot controller so price wise it’s about the same as a new flagship. The 600 is there to do one job and is a dedicated machine. Loopy Pro is an app inside a computer (basically) and that computer (iPad) can do many things. The 600 is also all invaded and built like a tank.. but Loopy Pro can technically do more if you want it to.. but you have to kind of build it and program it up. It’s a real interesting time in the looping world!
I did a test run and found it a really amazing, very versatile tool that is actually bringing looping to the next level, leaving looping pedals feeling old school. I think the sequencer feature is very good because it allows the musician to just create the space to be filled with the loop recording and can determine when the recordings, starts and pauses occur. This feature alone gives live looping a more musical and dynamic character, where looping recordings can escape constant repetitions. The sequencer for me is very interesting because it allows the whole process to be more similar to how a song really is, with a beginning, middle and end, changing the improvisations for a pre-defined arrangement. Of course, there is no right or wrong way to loop. It's choices (and I prefer something that has an arrangement) I missed a section that allows effect automations. Something that makes the reverb appear only between bars 16 and 32, for example, and after that, be turned off to save processing. An effect applied in loopy pro will have its parameters static unless you manually change them. Who knows in the next update? In this regard, I still find the duo Clyphx + Ableton Live unbeatable for alive looping, as I can automate everything (turn on/off effects, save clips in ram, fade in/out of devices, etc.) in short, more hands-free. On my youtube I have 2 videos using Clyphx + Ableton. Anyway, congratulations for this tool.
It’s pretty epic that this all runs on an iPad or even an iPhone and you are right it just explodes creativity and allows you to get into it faster. Love it.
Great video - very inspiring - I Have just purchased ipad 10th gen and this app . Im almost afraid to ask but how do you prevent bleed from your plackback speakers when you record vocal into mic to fresh loop - given the lack of headphone jack - My first attempts were a disaster - on my old ipad i was able to do this with no effort in blocswav with connected phones. Great app but I am overwhelmed with the need for a lot more gear and workarounds because of new form factor . Help! please - I am trying to keep it light and minmalist for portability
Headphones and an Audio interface will give you the ability to plug in normal headphones and a much better microphone. 👍🏻 Try this: th-cam.com/video/GLjh_U4mELk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m-cpFvUqkfDTMpvn
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Thank you very helpful - have them in my basket now - John I am concnerned that live loopin gwith a mic is not possible beyond the first track - the bleed problem ? fine in the studio or with keyboards but live mic voice and guitar? or am I missing something simple - help!
This looks very good indeed . I have loopy HD . This is something else . Very good video . I checked price. 30 USD to buy and then 15 every year for updates . So it’s a purchase plus annual subscriptions ?
Yes but it is imo totally worth it! You don’t have to do the annual subscription.. only if you want the latest features/updates. So you can just do the $30 and stay there. But if there are new features that come out, it might be worth it.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Good point . The whole world is moving towards a sin riot ion model and my concerns is that the first purchase would be limited and not full functionality . Your comments are very helpful thank you .
@@JohnPaulMusicUK thank you very much . I do have a technical query on importing files across platforms . I use Ableton on a PC but really like the iPad for portability . Is there an easy way to move data back and forth from PC Ableton to iPad apps like LOOPY ? Do you cover this in any of your videos ? iOS seems like a “ walled garden” . If not, is it easy to move wav files from other apps into Loopy ?
Can you add multiple midi pedals? I'm looking to put a similar setup together... iPad, Scarlett, midi controller...and would like to add Beat Buddy. Does loopy work with Beat buddy?
I have watched all of your tutorials, but I still can’t get loopy to see my guitar or my MPK mini play drum pad/keyboard. I am knew to MIDI and I have tried to set things up according to your videos, but Loopy doesn’t see any of my inputs when I play them except the microphone. I have mini fuse 2 interface and I get all of the sounds out of the speakers but nothing goes to LP. Do you have some simple tutorial that will get me started with the drum pad and the guitar and vocals?
Have a look at the new series we have just made with Loopy Pro. Here is the playlist - th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaYsDmWvl2tqZr3flIVH2ffl.html Pay attention to episode 3 and 4. Hope it helps.
Well the great thing is that moving into 2022, the world is your oyster. The iPad and iPhone used to only take in the basic of signals, but now with Lightning and mostly, any USB-C audio interface, any modern audio interface is fine. I am now using an Arturia Audiofuse Studio (mainly for the connectivity and as well as more ports) but higher quality wise, Loopy Pro supports up to 96 kHz with 32 bit file format. 👍🏼 my advice is get something that has enough ports for what you need and even the basic audio interfaces are better than old CD quality.
Opened up one of the demo projects in my Loopy Pro and it looked vaguely like Ableton in “clip” mode. Could this possibly be the app that I have been looking for my entire iPad life? Be still my heart; don’t want to be disappointed again. Can I route an Au3 app n my iPad, played by my MIDI controller, to various loops in Loopy Pro? Wouldn’t that be a dream. Thanks Mon, Great Work
I would encourage you to have a look at the Loopy Pro video Manual playlist that I have made with Michael who makes LP: th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaYsDmWvl2tqZr3flIVH2ffl.html
Yes. It will run it as long as you are on iOS 12 or above. If you get into lots of auv3 plugins, that’s where it will really start taking the power but it should run no problem. 👍🏻
Thanks for this stupendous video. You got me subscribed and you will soon get to see me using Loopy Pro on my channel. Do you happen to use it from AUM?
More than welcome. Checkout the series which Was made with the creator of Loopy Pro, Michael : th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaYsDmWvl2tqZr3flIVH2ffl.html It goes right from the very beginning into some real deep setups! Used to use AUM but not so much now. Still a phenomenal app though!
Trying to find out whether and how I could integrate this with my current (minimal) setup. Guitarist with pedalboard and 1 amp. I’d like to control LP on my iPad with my HX-effects. So the Widi master would be great. But does it also send the audio back and forth or just the midi commands? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi JP - can’t seem to get my audio ins and outs sorted for vocals. Using an original pro duo, mic lugged into channel 1. How do I get audio in both ears whilst monitoring and hearing back? Keep getting slight doubling and latency…is it some thing to do with direct monitoring…should I have headphones plugged into somewhere else like line out?
Hey Sim. I saw that you emailed me. So if you are getting latency doubling. It will be because the pro duo is sending the audio out to loopy people and then back in again. It will be sort of to do with direct monitoring yes but you are getting 2 signals back. One from the direct monitoring and one from loopy pro. Try turning direct monitoring off.
Thanks, very informative. I am currently trialing Ableton live but finding it not very user friendly, and rather dated 90's graphics. This however has completely blown it away as my choice of looping software. I just now have to decide on which ipad model to upgrade to from my Air 2 as I want the best for music making. Probably the Pro 2021 12.9 inch ?
I think it works very well on older iPads. The new iPads it will be no problem with. Where you will need more power is when you are using it with AUV3 plugins. DubFX uses an iPad Air 3 and had LOADS of effects and routing on his. But be careful when choosing a new iPad as most of the brand new ones now are USB-C so you would need a different adapter. If you went for the 9th gen base iPad, that’s still lightening. 👍🏻
I presume you can midi map all those icons? for example a start/stop all midi learned to an MC8? this is groundbreaking! Hopefully they release this soon! Im excited to say the least.
Great overview - I'm now seeing more and more reasons why I don't need my laptop. Can USB/Midi keyboard/pads be mapped to buttons? I'm picturing a 16 button drum pad mapped to one-shots as an example. What do you think?
Yes you can, absolutely. What I would do is map them to a different midi channel so you dont 'play' a note on the keybaord.. but yes. have already played around with this idea with my Arturia Keylab 49mkii
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Thanks for the reply. I have another question. I have never shopped for an Audio Interface for iPad Pro. Do they all provide bus power to the iPad along with the audio interface? I'm hoping to avoid a hub at all costs. Ideally I want a USB-C 4x4 audio interface with a few USB hub ports on the back along with everything else... and without breaking the bank.
Not all will have a USB hub and that might be the golden goose you chase. Have a look at Arturia MiniFuse 4 (currently in production). Might be your cup of tea.
probably a dumb question i have been playing around with loopy pro off and on and templates etc. I think i need to start fresh and start at the beginning as going around in circles haha. How do i start with the first beginning screen to start fresh? I can only see how to open a template or saved project.
Top left hand corner, folder icon, then new project. 👍 Watch the video manual made by me with the creator of Loopy Pro here: th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaYsDmWvl2tqZr3flIVH2ffl.html&si=f6JPB0dyxxTHScN6
Hi, I'm a brand new user, keen to get going 'cos it looks to good, but having watched 5 episodes & trying clips etc, I dont have any effects listed on left side when i go into mixer mode - so I'm lost on trying to add or control effects. Maybe its a bad download, - or have I missed something somewhere?
@@JohnPaulMusicUK …thx for quick response, sorry to be such a dumbhead on this but - I'm just playing around at present to evaluate it - BUT, where does the output sound into PA come from, is that from the 3,5mm iPAD headphone output?
Hey. 👋 So it will be midi bindings. It’s all pretty new at the moment but I’ll be doing a video on midi binding and hardware to go with it. I don’t own a launchpad but am getting an Akai to pair it with. 👍🏻
Thanks so much, I’ve watched all the loopy hd vids many times and now I can do basics and importing etc. I can’t see anything about playing a keyboard into loopy hd. I want to play a nord into loopy to use the nord sounds by connecting through the usb port [midi] I’ve added audio bus and but no joy, I’ve tried connecting garage band and sample tank but there seems no way to play a keyboard sound into loopy, Many thanks if you have time to look at this, no worries if you can’t, you’ve helped a lot already, Phil
Hi Phil 👋 Okay so, can the Nord you have transmit the sounds through USB? Also, midi is not sound, it’s data and can transmit information like which note was played and when, sustain, etc. so if the nord can send its audio and midi through to Loopy Pro then the easiest would be to send that into loopy pro and you would need a few things on Loopy Pro’s mixer - a midi channel, an audio channel. However you would only need to send the midi if you want the nord to play something else.. not the sounds of the nord itself. Hope that makes sense. The other way is plugging the nord into an audio interface via Jack and then the audio interface goes out to your speakers. You can then capture the Nord sounds just like a mic or guitar. Have you watched this video as it’s only a few days old. th-cam.com/video/sfK6SC46ki8/w-d-xo.html But please remember we are using the keyboard to control other sounds.. there are no sounds on this midi keyboard.
Hey 👋 So I use WIDI with the morningStar to get rid of any midi cable wires. Check this out as it might help - th-cam.com/video/OaiYCKauF4Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi John great intro to what looks like a real game changer. Any chance you could show how you link a drum machine app to this? I tend to loop to an 808 then play guitars, synths, and sing over the top. Thanks
So, with Ableton in Session View, you can have songs in each row and indicate to Ableton the BPM of the track, so starting the next song at 75 BPM from 135BPM for example is smooth (because Ableton picks it up from the description). I know you can group tracks and make a layout with Loopy Pro, but can I launch track/loopsat different BPMs with Loopy Pro?
So if you mean you want one loop to stop when another starts, like a verse into a chorus.. then yes. Watch the new Loopy Pro series we have made and you will see you can do this. 👍🏻 th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaYsDmWvl2tqZr3flIVH2ffl.html
Hi JohnPaul. Thank You so much for Your interresting tutorials. As I'm a complete beginner in Loopy Pro ("-)) I was just wondering how to use Loopy in a live performance without having to deal with feedback. (i use iphone 12mini + apple wired in ears connected to a JBL bluetooth (or a monitor). Thanks for Your reply.
The downside to using the apple wired headphones is that they are designed to be used as a microphone do when you are on a phone call. The mic is small but quite sensitive as it doesn’t know where your mouth is. I would strongly recommend you get a device where you can plug into like an audio interface that has a port for a microphone or instrument and then separate jacks for a speaker. Plying through Bluetooth is going to give you a delay that’s too long to play with and you will be out of time with yourself. Very very difficult. You can pick up a basic USB mixer or audio interface now for around £40-50 and then have the Apple Camera Connection adapter to plug in the USB of the Audio Interface into the iPhone. Have a look at this older video i did but the tech for audio interfaces has moved on and you can get better ones than the one in this video - th-cam.com/video/opa-xOGPaDM/w-d-xo.html
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Thank You sò much for your quick and interesting answer. I'll dive into it. Which interface would You recommend with apple phone? (Maybe it's on Your video link) I do have a Roland Quad-capture (which I didn't use) and i also have a Samson USB studio Condenser mic (in which I can plug my Sony Headphones) Thanks
Chromatically? As in on a keyboard or one after another? The answer is yes but depending on how you want to trigger them, the setup is different, on the screen you would have to use groups, with a keyboard then you need to program midi learn for it to understand which notes for which loops.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK hi john. ty. like on a keyboard. even if it affect the pitch rate of the sample. i’d like to play a sample with the root note being the actual speed of the sample, and as i go up notes or down notes, change the speed rate of it ( making the sample faster or slower ). hope i’m clear. tell me if not, and i’ll try to explain it better.
This is super complicated! I was using the Loopy HD it was so easy to setup my Airstep pedal, right now been trying for an hour to get it to record and go to the next track, it seems impossible 🤦 I feel I need to spend hours to read the entire manual! I am a guitarist so I don't wanna use my hands to loop, help!
It can be a powerful looper I get it but I don't understand why the midi control had to be so complicated! I am gonna keep trying for a little more and then ask for a refund 🤦
how did you get on with it? Hope you have figured it out? it is super powerful but and the good thing is there are lots of people on communities and forums to help you out. plus there are a TON of videos of how people have set their's up since I made this one. Hope you get sorted.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK I figured it out eventually, all worked out. Only thing that doesnt work is the solo mode, not sure why, everything else works great.
Use headphones. If you see a lot of people performing and creating with it, they are using headphones so the sound doesn’t bleed into the microphone. I have an audio interface with mics and a speaker so I can isolate the sound without too much bleed. But if your just starting out, grab some wired headphones (not Bluetooth cause you will have a delay) and the experience goes up so much 👍🏼
hi! Awesome tutorial. I'm new and this helped greatly. One thing I cannot figure out for the life of me is how to get the loop to auto stop at the end of the bar. Mine keeps going. I've turned on auto-end detected loop but it still continues on. Tempo and time signature set correctly also...
Hey Jim. It’s the part where I said swipe up on a loop. There is a full menu for that loop and scroll down and you will see the option of loop or play once. 👍🏻 Hope your having fun with it?
How would you go about organizing a set of multiple tracks that are part prepared stems + live looping? Is there a nice way to transition between projects?
That’s a good question and totally up to you. It’s a bit of an open book. Have a look at Dub FX’s demo here th-cam.com/video/jWT7Mik8WOg/w-d-xo.html around 23 mins in and he shows another session he’s made that would be like this. But seriously watch the whole thing. It’s epic. Hope that helps.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK have already watched it and that part did interest me because he had text on screen mention transition but I honestly didn't see any, because you have to stop and load a new project to play your next one so I don't understand how transitions would happen. 🤷♂️ If he meant to load every track back to back in one project he didn't show it, his field of donuts didn't seem to indicate there was multiple tracks in there.
Yeah that’s fair. I mean it looked like one track loaded into segments to be fair. I do think it would be one project and then load another project. There is an A/B/C… switching system which is meant like a page thing or to be used for say verse / chorus / bridge etc but I think you could potentially use that to have different tracks on each page and then it totally up to you HOW you transition. This is the thing. There is no written rule with making a looper on the app.. it’s like a blank piece of paper.
Do you mean you want to record things to TH-cam or you want to watch the series? Simplest way to do live streams with TH-cam and loopy pro is with an audio interface.
Tap on the mixer, and then tap on either a per or post fader effect, it will bring up all the effects available that you have from your iPad from other apps. If you need more effects, go to the App Store and just type in ‘AUV3’ and you will see LOADS of them. Some are free and some are paid for. A lot of them are not standalone apps but need a host so you download them and then they become available on things like Loopy Pro and GarageBand etc. 👍🏼
This is insane. Question. If a 4 bar synth loop has a tail that makes it 5 total bars, can you set it to loop at 4 bars, but the tail will overlap so it doesn't just get cut off? That's the one thing that a lot of loopers/launchers are missing. Have you messed around with Launchpad integration yet?
Yes. It’s able to grab the tail via automatic overdubbing and is very clever other ways to get your loop. The retrospective looping is an awesome way to loop as well. I don’t have a physical launchpad. Been playing with the volumes and faders on my KeyLab49 mkii and it’s good. 👍🏻
@War on Winter yes you are right. IMO, clearly the reason Audiobus 3 just never stood up to par with AUM or ApeMatrix. I was a bit shocked given the amount of credit AudioBus in general deserves... But now it makes sense. He probably realized there was no point in spreading his attention thin by trying to compete with such great tools anymore and that he should focus on turning Loopy into its own new DAW-like looper thing instead, as AudioBus was probably not something too inspiring to work in for him anymore. Loopy PRO is just its own beast, and I'm so glad AudioBus 3 was 'put to the side'. I honestly never use it and although it works just fine, it has never been as appealing of a tool for me as the other two. This however, is a must have that will probably get a lot of use from me in parallel with AUM and Ape, so a total win. Plus, realistically, if you can only get one of the three, Loopy probably is or will be able to do 99% of things in the future (for example, it's a bit more annoying to setup midi stuff through menus than through matrices, so I do miss the MIDI matrix and honestly would even love it more if there was an audio flux matrix just like with Ape. Those are powerful tools and probably why I won't completely abandon AUM nor Ape, but more like, use them in parallel and inject the results into Loopy PRO in real-time, which will become my new Host - haven't tested yet but can't see it not working). Sorry for my mega comment, just excited and completely agree with what you said lmao
One thing that is apparent is a version of Audiobus is ‘built in’ to Loopy Pro to be able to do the routing. So many the ‘next’ version of Audiobus is kind of already here but packaged in a lovely looping app. 👍🏻 seriously, it’s a beast!
@@JohnPaulMusicUK yes, exactly. No need to do the same thing twice with a complete different layer of UI code and graphics. I seriously doubt there will be an Audiobus 4 essentially, seems like it’s just gonna be loopy from now on :). And I would really not mind that at all :P
Thanks for the demo and very interesting … I wanted to organise some scenes and play them like in Ableton live scenes, but I cannot program a group to stop when another group has been triggered …?
So I took your advice Thankyou. (I sent you the beardyman clip) Omg loopy pro is absolutely a dreamy fantastic audio playground. I am so impressed. I don’t even loop 😂 What I’m interested in is live dub mixing … Thanks for the nudge towards loopy 👍🏻
after beta testing one thing I have had trouble with is: recording the widgets into the sequence view. when I go back and listen to the sequence whatever the widget was controlling (balance for instance) is just in the last state of that widget touched. any thoughts?
This is something Michael (who made Loopy Pro) is working on apparently. I think that if you are part of the beta team, mention this about widget automation and see what the roadmap is. 👍🏻
You can record the audio of other apps into Loopy Pro. You cannot do it with Loopy HD unless you use Audiobus or AUM. Midi recording and midi sequencing is coming to Loopy Pro soon.

Heck, I'm on Beta also and got lost in the first few days. I could have used this tutorial and really reduced the initial frustration. Very well done.
So happy I’m helping even the beta testers. That’s great! More content on the way soon. 👍🏻
Finally, I have been waiting for you to make this video.i wanted to see how you use the app. Michael really came through with loopy pro. He left it open for more and more. The app will never stop growing. Part of the design is for just that, never ending growth. Yipppeeee.
I know! It’s awesome and has so many paths to do what you want.
Gonna make quite a few videos on this app. 👍🏻
Perfect intro to Loopy Pro. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

I've been dreaming about this kind of stuff since i was looping on linux with sooperlooper and a midi controled phone connected to fingerplayMIDI ... my god this i sa wonderful peace of software, thanks a lot Mickael !! (and a big big shoutout to you John !)
It’s almost a change in the way loopers work! A new dimension is upon us. 👍🏻

I got loopy pro after watching your video. excellent tutorial
Awesomeness
I love all your looping tutorials. You are such a good teacher.
One thing that I can't do so far is record multiple loops simultaneously.
I already assigned independent hardware inputs to 4 loops/tracks and I can't see how to control them 4 as one.
What I'm trying to do is create live loops with 4 live instruments as in a 4 members band.
I would greatly appreciate if you point me in the right direction.
God bless you.
Hey Maria 👋
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment.
To record multiple loops at the same time, go to settings (three bars on the top right), click on clip settings and scroll down. You will see an option for “Simultaneous Recording”.
It is off by default. Switch that on and make sure you have your inputs from your mixer set to the inputs you want to record.
Hope that helps. 👍🏼
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Thanks so much! I got it recording multiple tracks at the same time on the sequencer.
What I still can't do is to free loop. I mean with no pre determine tempo nor loop length.
I have to work a little more on this. 😊
God bless you.
Great - really looking forward to seeing more tutorials on LoopyPro. I’m just getting into guitar and vocal looping and I’m hoping this (via my Focusrite Scarlett) can replace the need to buy a physical looper.
Glad it’s helped.
More content on the way. 👍🏻

I’m one of those with loopy HD and this loopy pro looks amazing.
My only concern is whether or not my old 32gb iPad is up to the task.
One of these days if I cop some dosh from somewhere, I’ll treat myself to an iPad Pro with a big fat hard drive so I don’t have to keep bringing apps back from the cloud. Then it will be truly mobile without the need for an internet connection 😊
Great walkthrough JP Cannot wait to get my hands on Loopy Pro.
Thank you. I truly think it’s a game changer of an app.
It’s epic.
Seems like it completely alleviates the need for AUM when using loopy...great video
I’ve seen people use it inside AUM and it’s amazing! But yeah you could just run with Loopy Pro as it basically has the modular mixer and Audiobus built in.
Not quite…the midi source functionality isn’t there…tried using GeoShred as midi source for swam trumpet but no audio coming out of swam when the keys are clearly being triggered. It works in AUM though.
Great video.. this app seems like it will bring together a wide bunch of musicians.. who isn’t gonna want it? !

Great video @JohnPaulMusicUK, may I ask how did you managed to user the ipad mic and output the audio without any interference from the current loop you record before? How did you managed to do this live session demo without the headphones using the built-in microphone?
Hey Pedro 👋
Great question.
So I used the internal mic but you’ll notice the iPad is plugged in and the audio is going out to headphones that are just out of shot of the camera, which are turned down just enough for me to hear but so the mic can’t hear them. It takes practice to do this.
Then also there is another microphone above me connected to the camera for normal talking.
Hope that makes sense.
The best way really is with an audio interface and a dedicated mic.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK awesome, thanks a lot for the reply. Is it possible to do a setup with an audio interface that let me use an external monitor and a mic without the need of an headphone, or it will have feedback from the audio monitor always?

Great walkthrough JP. Thanks. Lee
Thanks. More to come. 👍🏼
I’m new to the iPad looping app thing……I’m a guitarist, have several iPad apps for guitar processing (JamUp pro, Bias FX etc) I have the trial version of Loopy Pro but I can’t seem to get the processed guitar signal from these apps into Loopy Pro. I’m using the Xtone Pro interface. Is this looper not optimal for guitar or am I just missing the “know how”? Great video BTW……I love your channel!
So to get any apps that are AUV3 plugins or act as an audio interface, you need to open the mixer (bottom left) and then click the + button on the bottom right.
You will have a few options. Try them all. Some of them might be classed as an audio unit. If it’s not there, then it’s not been made as an auv3 plug-in.
But fear not, it could be an audio source. Click ‘add hardware input’ and a new channel will pop up with initially the same microphone as the iPad.
Click on the ‘pre fade effect’ + and see if it’s an effect to be added to that channel. Then just make sure your on the same channel as your guitar. 👍🏼
Will be making a video about all these things soon if that’s easier. But hope that helps. 👍🏼
Great stuff! Now for us RC300 users thinking about upgrading to 600, is this something to consider instead? Can it do everything the 600 does and even more or is there limitations/pains except the total price to get a decent audio IO, Midi foot controller and another iPad. What about latency and fix quality, routing? Keep up great work and thanks 🙏🏼
This is a TOTAL curveball when it comes to hard area looping cause, yes you will need an iPad, an audio interface and a foot controller so price wise it’s about the same as a new flagship. The 600 is there to do one job and is a dedicated machine. Loopy Pro is an app inside a computer (basically) and that computer (iPad) can do many things. The 600 is also all invaded and built like a tank.. but Loopy Pro can technically do more if you want it to.. but you have to kind of build it and program it up.
It’s a real interesting time in the looping world!
I did a test run and found it a really amazing, very versatile tool that is actually bringing looping to the next level, leaving looping pedals feeling old school.
I think the sequencer feature is very good because it allows the musician to just create the space to be filled with the loop recording and can determine when the recordings, starts and pauses occur.
This feature alone gives live looping a more musical and dynamic character, where looping recordings can escape constant repetitions. The sequencer for me is very interesting because it allows the whole process to be more similar to how a song really is, with a beginning, middle and end, changing the improvisations for a pre-defined arrangement. Of course, there is no right or wrong way to loop. It's choices (and I prefer something that has an arrangement)
I missed a section that allows effect automations. Something that makes the reverb appear only between bars 16 and 32, for example, and after that, be turned off to save processing. An effect applied in loopy pro will have its parameters static unless you manually change them. Who knows in the next update?
In this regard, I still find the duo Clyphx + Ableton Live unbeatable for alive looping, as I can automate everything (turn on/off effects, save clips in ram, fade in/out of devices, etc.) in short, more hands-free. On my youtube I have 2 videos using Clyphx + Ableton.
Anyway, congratulations for this tool.
It’s pretty epic that this all runs on an iPad or even an iPhone and you are right it just explodes creativity and allows you to get into it faster.
Love it.
cool app. looking forward to messing around with it. great video and explanation!

Great app but I am overwhelmed with the need for a lot more gear and workarounds because of new form factor . Help! please - I am trying to keep it light and minmalist for portability

This looks very good indeed . I have loopy HD . This is something else . Very good video . I checked price. 30 USD to buy and then 15 every year for updates . So it’s a purchase plus annual subscriptions ?
Yes but it is imo totally worth it! You don’t have to do the annual subscription.. only if you want the latest features/updates. So you can just do the $30 and stay there. But if there are new features that come out, it might be worth it.

@@JohnPaulMusicUK Good point . The whole world is moving towards a sin riot ion model and my concerns is that the first purchase would be limited and not full functionality . Your comments are very helpful thank you .
@@JohnPaulMusicUK thank you very much . I do have a technical query on importing files across platforms . I use Ableton on a PC but really like the iPad for portability . Is there an easy way to move data back and forth from PC Ableton to iPad apps like LOOPY ? Do you cover this in any of your videos ? iOS seems like a “ walled garden” . If not, is it easy to move wav files from other apps into Loopy ?
Can you add multiple midi pedals? I'm looking to put a similar setup together... iPad, Scarlett, midi controller...and would like to add Beat Buddy. Does loopy work with Beat buddy?
Don’t see why not. It’s midi and can send and receive midi clock to keep in time. 👍🏻
I have watched all of your tutorials, but I still can’t get loopy to see my guitar or my MPK mini play drum pad/keyboard. I am knew to MIDI and I have tried to set things up according to your videos, but Loopy doesn’t see any of my inputs when I play them except the microphone. I have mini fuse 2 interface and I get all of the sounds out of the speakers but nothing goes to LP. Do you have some simple tutorial that will get me started with the drum pad and the guitar and vocals?

Wow I haven't wanted an iPad this much since 2015!
Hi John, I hope you’re well! What interface would you use to get higher quality audio into loopy?
Well the great thing is that moving into 2022, the world is your oyster. The iPad and iPhone used to only take in the basic of signals, but now with Lightning and mostly, any USB-C audio interface, any modern audio interface is fine. I am now using an Arturia Audiofuse Studio (mainly for the connectivity and as well as more ports) but higher quality wise, Loopy Pro supports up to 96 kHz with 32 bit file format. 👍🏼 my advice is get something that has enough ports for what you need and even the basic audio interfaces are better than old CD quality.
Nice JP. I'm looking forward to future videos about using this with a midi foot controller. I use a nektar pacer.
Nice. That video is coming. 👍🏻
Opened up one of the demo projects in my Loopy Pro and it looked vaguely like Ableton in “clip” mode. Could this possibly be the app that I have been looking for my entire iPad life? Be still my heart; don’t want to be disappointed again. Can I route an Au3 app n my iPad, played by my MIDI controller, to various loops in Loopy Pro? Wouldn’t that be a dream. Thanks Mon, Great Work

How do you set free recording? So starting and stopping recording with touch of button or pedal?
Hi JP - can’t seem to get my audio ins and outs sorted for vocals. Using an original pro duo, mic lugged into channel 1. How do I get audio in both ears whilst monitoring and hearing back? Keep getting slight doubling and latency…is it some thing to do with direct monitoring…should I have headphones plugged into somewhere else like line out?
Hey Sim. I saw that you emailed me.
So if you are getting latency doubling. It will be because the pro duo is sending the audio out to loopy people and then back in again.
It will be sort of to do with direct monitoring yes but you are getting 2 signals back. One from the direct monitoring and one from loopy pro.
Try turning direct monitoring off.
Thanks, very informative. I am currently trialing Ableton live but finding it not very user friendly, and rather dated 90's graphics. This however has completely blown it away as my choice of looping software. I just now have to decide on which ipad model to upgrade to from my Air 2 as I want the best for music making. Probably the Pro 2021 12.9 inch ?
I think it works very well on older iPads.
The new iPads it will be no problem with. Where you will need more power is when you are using it with AUV3 plugins. DubFX uses an iPad Air 3 and had LOADS of effects and routing on his. But be careful when choosing a new iPad as most of the brand new ones now are USB-C so you would need a different adapter. If you went for the 9th gen base iPad, that’s still lightening. 👍🏻
I presume you can midi map all those icons? for example a start/stop all midi learned to an MC8? this is groundbreaking! Hopefully they release this soon! Im excited to say the least.
You presume correctly.
Yes you can. It’s so customisable. 👍🏻
Great overview - I'm now seeing more and more reasons why I don't need my laptop. Can USB/Midi keyboard/pads be mapped to buttons? I'm picturing a 16 button drum pad mapped to one-shots as an example. What do you think?

I want to play a nord into loopy to use the nord sounds by connecting through the usb port [midi]
I’ve added audio bus and but no joy,
I’ve tried connecting garage band and sample tank but there seems no way to play a keyboard sound into loopy,
Many thanks if you have time to look at this, no worries if you can’t, you’ve helped a lot already, Phil
Hi Phil 👋
Okay so, can the Nord you have transmit the sounds through USB?
Also, midi is not sound, it’s data and can transmit information like which note was played and when, sustain, etc. so if the nord can send its audio and midi through to Loopy Pro then the easiest would be to send that into loopy pro and you would need a few things on Loopy Pro’s mixer - a midi channel, an audio channel.
However you would only need to send the midi if you want the nord to play something else.. not the sounds of the nord itself. Hope that makes sense.
The other way is plugging the nord into an audio interface via Jack and then the audio interface goes out to your speakers. You can then capture the Nord sounds just like a mic or guitar.
Have you watched this video as it’s only a few days old. th-cam.com/video/sfK6SC46ki8/w-d-xo.html
But please remember we are using the keyboard to control other sounds.. there are no sounds on this midi keyboard.

@@JohnPaulMusicUK you are the man. Keep up the good work and seasons greetings
Seasons greetings to you too 🎄
So, with Ableton in Session View, you can have songs in each row and indicate to Ableton the BPM of the track, so starting the next song at 75 BPM from 135BPM for example is smooth (because Ableton picks it up from the description). I know you can group tracks and make a layout with Loopy Pro, but can I launch track/loopsat different BPMs with Loopy Pro?

Hi JohnPaul. Thank You so much for Your interresting tutorials. As I'm a complete beginner in Loopy Pro ("-)) I was just wondering how to use Loopy in a live performance without having to deal with feedback. (i use iphone 12mini + apple wired in ears connected to a JBL bluetooth (or a monitor). Thanks for Your reply.
The downside to using the apple wired headphones is that they are designed to be used as a microphone do when you are on a phone call. The mic is small but quite sensitive as it doesn’t know where your mouth is. I would strongly recommend you get a device where you can plug into like an audio interface that has a port for a microphone or instrument and then separate jacks for a speaker.
Plying through Bluetooth is going to give you a delay that’s too long to play with and you will be out of time with yourself. Very very difficult.
You can pick up a basic USB mixer or audio interface now for around £40-50 and then have the Apple Camera Connection adapter to plug in the USB of the Audio Interface into the iPhone.
Have a look at this older video i did but the tech for audio interfaces has moved on and you can get better ones than the one in this video - th-cam.com/video/opa-xOGPaDM/w-d-xo.html

hello john, is there a way to play the samples chromaticaly ?
Chromatically? As in on a keyboard or one after another? The answer is yes but depending on how you want to trigger them, the setup is different, on the screen you would have to use groups, with a keyboard then you need to program midi learn for it to understand which notes for which loops.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK hi john. ty. like on a keyboard. even if it affect the pitch rate of the sample. i’d like to play a sample with the root note being the actual speed of the sample, and as i go up notes or down notes, change the speed rate of it ( making the sample faster or slower ). hope i’m clear. tell me if not, and i’ll try to explain it better.

This is super complicated! I was using the Loopy HD it was so easy to setup my Airstep pedal, right now been trying for an hour to get it to record and go to the next track, it seems impossible 🤦
I feel I need to spend hours to read the entire manual! I am a guitarist so I don't wanna use my hands to loop, help!
It can be a powerful looper I get it but I don't understand why the midi control had to be so complicated! I am gonna keep trying for a little more and then ask for a refund 🤦
how did you get on with it? Hope you have figured it out?
it is super powerful but and the good thing is there are lots of people on communities and forums to help you out. plus there are a TON of videos of how people have set their's up since I made this one. Hope you get sorted.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK I figured it out eventually, all worked out. Only thing that doesnt work is the solo mode, not sure why, everything else works great.
Newbee. How do I record vocal loops live without the sound being outputted from speakers also recording onto new loop.🙁
Use headphones. If you see a lot of people performing and creating with it, they are using headphones so the sound doesn’t bleed into the microphone.
I have an audio interface with mics and a speaker so I can isolate the sound without too much bleed.
But if your just starting out, grab some wired headphones (not Bluetooth cause you will have a delay) and the experience goes up so much 👍🏼
hi! Awesome tutorial. I'm new and this helped greatly. One thing I cannot figure out for the life of me is how to get the loop to auto stop at the end of the bar. Mine keeps going. I've turned on auto-end detected loop but it still continues on. Tempo and time signature set correctly also...
Hey Jim.
It’s the part where I said swipe up on a loop. There is a full menu for that loop and scroll down and you will see the option of loop or play once. 👍🏻
Hope your having fun with it?
How do you add more bars for the pre count in before recording.
Great video!
Thanks 🙏
How would you go about organizing a set of multiple tracks that are part prepared stems + live looping? Is there a nice way to transition between projects?
That’s a good question and totally up to you. It’s a bit of an open book.
Have a look at Dub FX’s demo here th-cam.com/video/jWT7Mik8WOg/w-d-xo.html around 23 mins in and he shows another session he’s made that would be like this. But seriously watch the whole thing. It’s epic.
Hope that helps.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK have already watched it and that part did interest me because he had text on screen mention transition but I honestly didn't see any, because you have to stop and load a new project to play your next one so I don't understand how transitions would happen. 🤷♂️
If he meant to load every track back to back in one project he didn't show it, his field of donuts didn't seem to indicate there was multiple tracks in there.
Yeah that’s fair.
I mean it looked like one track loaded into segments to be fair.
I do think it would be one project and then load another project.
There is an A/B/C… switching system which is meant like a page thing or to be used for say verse / chorus / bridge etc but I think you could potentially use that to have different tracks on each page and then it totally up to you HOW you transition. This is the thing. There is no written rule with making a looper on the app.. it’s like a blank piece of paper.
How do I link TH-cam to the Loopy Pro Program??
Do you mean you want to record things to TH-cam or you want to watch the series?
Simplest way to do live streams with TH-cam and loopy pro is with an audio interface.
Where can I get other effects from ? Thanks 🙏🏽
Tap on the mixer, and then tap on either a per or post fader effect, it will bring up all the effects available that you have from your iPad from other apps.
If you need more effects, go to the App Store and just type in ‘AUV3’ and you will see LOADS of them. Some are free and some are paid for. A lot of them are not standalone apps but need a host so you download them and then they become available on things like Loopy Pro and GarageBand etc. 👍🏼
Looking forward to midi control of loopy pro via mc8!
That video is SO on the cards.
Just carving out time to film it. 👍🏻
This is insane. Question. If a 4 bar synth loop has a tail that makes it 5 total bars, can you set it to loop at 4 bars, but the tail will overlap so it doesn't just get cut off? That's the one thing that a lot of loopers/launchers are missing. Have you messed around with Launchpad integration yet?
Yes. It’s able to grab the tail via automatic overdubbing and is very clever other ways to get your loop. The retrospective looping is an awesome way to loop as well.
I don’t have a physical launchpad. Been playing with the volumes and faders on my KeyLab49 mkii and it’s good. 👍🏻
@War on Winter yes you are right. IMO, clearly the reason Audiobus 3 just never stood up to par with AUM or ApeMatrix. I was a bit shocked given the amount of credit AudioBus in general deserves... But now it makes sense. He probably realized there was no point in spreading his attention thin by trying to compete with such great tools anymore and that he should focus on turning Loopy into its own new DAW-like looper thing instead, as AudioBus was probably not something too inspiring to work in for him anymore. Loopy PRO is just its own beast, and I'm so glad AudioBus 3 was 'put to the side'. I honestly never use it and although it works just fine, it has never been as appealing of a tool for me as the other two.
This however, is a must have that will probably get a lot of use from me in parallel with AUM and Ape, so a total win. Plus, realistically, if you can only get one of the three, Loopy probably is or will be able to do 99% of things in the future (for example, it's a bit more annoying to setup midi stuff through menus than through matrices, so I do miss the MIDI matrix and honestly would even love it more if there was an audio flux matrix just like with Ape. Those are powerful tools and probably why I won't completely abandon AUM nor Ape, but more like, use them in parallel and inject the results into Loopy PRO in real-time, which will become my new Host - haven't tested yet but can't see it not working).
Sorry for my mega comment, just excited and completely agree with what you said lmao
One thing that is apparent is a version of Audiobus is ‘built in’ to Loopy Pro to be able to do the routing. So many the ‘next’ version of Audiobus is kind of already here but packaged in a lovely looping app. 👍🏻 seriously, it’s a beast!
@@JohnPaulMusicUK yes, exactly. No need to do the same thing twice with a complete different layer of UI code and graphics. I seriously doubt there will be an Audiobus 4 essentially, seems like it’s just gonna be loopy from now on :). And I would really not mind that at all :P
@War on Winter yes, I’m so glad this is happening honestly. I can’t wait to mess with loopy extensively during the next few weeks 🙏🏼.
Why did I pay for Loppy HD and not for Loopy Pro, when pro is far much better? What’s the catch?
Thanks for the demo and very interesting … I wanted to organise some scenes and play them like in Ableton live scenes, but I cannot program a group to stop when another group has been triggered …?
You can if they are grouped.
I’ll make a video on grouping and show its advantages. 👍🏻
I cannot see the link to download the session …..?
The link for my own session for you to have is here: johnpaulmusicuk.mykajabi.com/opt-in-1
thank you for the demo, there is no control with an external pedal.......
Yes there is. You can add a Bluetooth or midi control with the right connections.
So I took your advice Thankyou. (I sent you the beardyman clip)
Omg loopy pro is absolutely a dreamy fantastic audio playground. I am so impressed.
I don’t even loop 😂
What I’m interested in is live dub mixing …
Thanks for the nudge towards loopy 👍🏻
More than welcome 🙏
Lots of opportunity with this app. Sounds interesting. 👍🏻
after beta testing one thing I have had trouble with is: recording the widgets into the sequence view. when I go back and listen to the sequence whatever the widget was controlling (balance for instance) is just in the last state of that widget touched. any thoughts?
This is something Michael (who made Loopy Pro) is working on apparently.
I think that if you are part of the beta team, mention this about widget automation and see what the roadmap is. 👍🏻
Wait..I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Sitting down. Good lord.
Just wait until you go through the series!! Mind blowing what you can do!

JP , I can’t record other apps into the Pro. The on Hd it is possible.
You can record the audio of other apps into Loopy Pro. You cannot do it with Loopy HD unless you use Audiobus or AUM.
Midi recording and midi sequencing is coming to Loopy Pro soon.
I don’t see the link to download the free session sorry …
