Sehr interessant, wie heute als "Big Band" technisch ein Künstler, Musiker, kreativ seine Songs entwickelt, d.h. eine echte Komposition selbst live bestimmt und wie Sie in Ihrer Performance mit Gitarre und Stimme tolle Musik machen. Ich bin begeistert, Ihre Lehrstunde zu geniessen. Ihre coole, freundliche Art, ergänzt Ihren Auftritt zu dem Erlebnis zum Musik geniessen als Ohrenschmaus der Sinne. Are well and best reagards to You, ray from Germany.

Thank you, Markus! Great, great video! Adding a tap tempo button would save a lot of time, I think?

[@MarkusK.]

Yes, and you can also assign a pedal to the tap tempo feature. That’s what I do live

Absolutely love the ease of which you show us how to do things in loopy pro. You go slow enough for us to follow and the tone of your voice is soothing....when i feel overwhelmed with the tasks of learning loopy pro. Thank you!!! I wish you had a tutorial channel on how to do the ins and outs of LP. 🤘💯❤️🙏

I have an iPad with Loopy Pro that's been gathering dust for months. When I saw one of your busking vids I was sure the backing was prerecorded until I looked closer. You were using a looper. That lead me to this video and now I'm a subscriber. When found I had to pay $21 for GR-16 the little miser in me said, "That's almost what Loopy Pro costs." I'd spent more that that for the tablet cover not to mention the cost of the iPad itself. So I told the miser to quit sharing and downloaded the app. 20 minutes later I had my own drummer and bass player backing me up. So now all I need is the hardware to hook it all up. Many thanks my friend.

Have fun with Groove Rider! 😁

Amazing video. Thank you Markus ! I have a question. If I wanted to add chorus or break using couple more chords and bass line after the verse, what would be proper approach with loopy pro ? Thank you !

[@MarkusK.]

You can set a group of loops to play’either or’. This means you can create alternative baselines for instance and when you press the second clip, the first stops.

[@qwerty999111]

@@MarkusK. thanks Markus. Makes sense

[@timothy5974]

Thanx for this, I have thought about loopy pro for some time, then when I got a Mac I thought Ableton. Well, after seeing your video I’m re- thinking that. I may go the loopy pro and use it as a sketchbook for ideas and I think it could make a guitarist a better player. I hope you continue to help us see how you use this app. 🙏

Thank you for your great video🥰🥰 Exactly what I was looking for. Could you please explain in another video how you set up your MPKmini with Loopy and Groove Rider? That would be so great. Thank you for your great music.❤

Have you tried it? Should be easy. Check the manual?

[@silverlight2004db]

Hi Markus, thanks for your technical videos on loopy pro and your gear setup...i'm a big fan of your music and playing too...i'm thinking about switching from PC and DAW and hardware looper to iPad and Loopy Pro. I'm wondering if the iPad can cover all your production needs? For example, do you make your youtube videos on iPad? Do you still need a laptop for any of your musical/video production requirements or is the iPad all you need? thanks, Dave

[@MarkusK.]

I have been very happy switching to iPad. It seems much more efficient and reliable for enriching. I do ask my music and video stuff on my iPad now and zi switched to iPhone to for easy transfer of videos etc. Make sure you get one with sufficient space for video work. 256Gb is ok if you keep it clean and organised

Thanks for sharing your knowledge . I busk for a living and your videos have inspired me to make plans to travel . I've decided to get an IPad Pro and Loopy Pro after watching your videos. I'm looking at getting an Apple refurbished one with the M1 chip , but please could you say what's the minimum memory I should get and is it worth getting the larger screen ? Hope to meet you one day. Much respect, Mark Allen in a very wet and windy Wales .

[@MarkusK.]

I am using a standard 9 gen. Memory is needed if you want to do recording and videos etc. My 256 is just about adequate 🙂

[@timothy5974]

Does Groove Rider come with more of an acoustic kit for more of a classic rock sound? Fantastic tutorial. Thank you Markus

[@MarkusK.]

It comes with everything. Heaps of sounds, plus you can import your favourite samples

[@timothy5974]

Thank you Markus for answering my drum question. Sorry that I didn’t see your response.

[@ARTEMIYNIK]

And also it will be nice if you can add buttons to switch notes in a bass sequence. You can do it in AUM off course but I want to do it in Loopy as a transport

[@alainleberre5837]

Nice vidéo to understand the way you work. Do you know what is the oldest iOS IS support by loopypro? Thanks a lot

[@MarkusK.]

It should work on a second generation ipad

[@bawneet]

Thanks for the wonderful explanation, Marcus. I’m pretty new to iPad for creating music. What are your thoughts on GrooveRider vs Digistix2. If GR has both synth and drums, is Digistix2 app really necessary?

[@MarkusK.]

Groove Rider is much more complete. I don’t use Digistix any more 🙂

[@bawneet]

@@MarkusK. Thanks a lot, Sir 😊

[@bradtalksforengland]

Do you need a fancy ipad or do you think you could use any old ipad for these programs, basically does it every crash or lag etc? Lovely set up and maybe the coolest guy in the world, congrats x

[@MarkusK.]

The guy who wrote Loopy Pro still works on a second generation standard. Loopy Pro runs very lean. It’s the extra apps and effects that use up the processing power. Just try Loopy Pro for free for a week 🙂

Hi Markus does Grooverider have an option of generating drum fill’s automatically for ending a song? Looking for a way to end songs with a drum fill. Cheers Keith

[@MarkusK.]

I have no idea. I would never use that 🙂

[@keithlogan3212]

Hi Markus, I love your videos, especially your tutorials! I am just starting with Loopy Pro and have been trying DigiStix 2. Groove Rider looks really interesting. Is it possible to quickly create different rhythms for blues, such as a straight 4/4, but also a shuffle rhythm for, say, the next song live? Many thanks, Keith

[@MarkusK.]

Yes! I would prepare certain presets, with a 6/8, swing setting etc, and call them up with a swipe gesture. If you need more than 4 or 5, create separate buttons. Groove Rider blows Digistix out of the water and you can import your favourite sample from Digistix too

[@keithlogan3212]

@@MarkusK. Thanks. I’ve searched on KZbin how to setup different presets with different feels ie 6/8 but can’t find any. Any advice on how to do this? Also are you coming back to Scotland? Cheers Keith

[@MarkusK.]

@@keithlogan3212 you save the Groove Rider setup you create as a preset via the files icon too right. Then you assign a button to call up this preset. I think it is called audio input preset

[@keithlogan3212]

@@MarkusK. Thank you. Are you still using the Steinberg UR22 Mk11? I need to buy an audio interface to use with Loopy Pro. Would you still recommend it? Cheers

The only one problem that I had in this method - you can’t learn transport functions in GR from loopy, yes you can mute ,unmute individual parts, cuttoff and many more , but not transport and mixer functions…

I am not actually sure what you mean by transport

Hello, I am a musician who plays guitar and sings like you.. Since I play guitar and sing alone, I want to use rhythm using Loopy Pro only with my iPad.. So I want to loop rhythms using Loopy Pro with iPad.. Is there an application you can recommend for me to use rhythm drums on the iPad?

Groove Rider

[@andrewharman6861]

Thank you for this excellent help One thing I noticed that may also be helpful to new Loopy pro users is I think you may have the record on press activated in your clip settings this is a must have change to the default settings for me. I would be very interested in how you have your clip settings set up to record with such creative flow do you have the Auto loop detection enabled , what do you have count in and count out quantisation set to, lastly Regarding Sync have you set up any kind of sync to keep the drums in tempo with Loopy pro ? 😮 Just going over to check on your brothers video looks interesting. Keep on entertaining and thanks again for this helpful video so many loopy pro tutorials fail where you have made it clear by actually simply showing where and what buttons you are pressing that’s so helpful and you’re giving this freely so that’s fantastic Peace and rock n roll on

[@MarkusK.]

Groove Rider is synched as soon as you add it as an input. Works great. I need to check my clip settings. I have definitely changed them

[@MarkusK.]

PLAYBACK SETTINGS: No play quantisation; no stop quantisation; phase lock loops ON RECORDING No count in quantisation; no count out quantisation; length quantisation ON AFTER RECORDING Phase preservation ON

[@stills111]

Hello Markus, you forgot to give us a trick,At 12.18 you initialize the bass sound by pressing on the PAD C without recording, if you didnt do that,groove rider will stay on the last drum sound, and the sound bass will not work,isnt it ?

[@MarkusK.]

Yes. That first pass is where the bass sound was. First you select, then you change to’ keys’ to actually play it, as of on a keyboard

[@georgefenning4844]

Can you add a slider to alter tempo after tapping in or when playing. ..also to set tempo .. can something be done . The standard method seems too fine grain (small buttons) for live performance … is that an allowable action in loopy pro ?

[@MarkusK.]

Yes, you can create slides and buttons for pretty much everything. Or you can type in the tempo. You can also create a startup template for each song, including tempo etc

[@mandolin-george-uk]

@@MarkusK. Thank you that is very helpful. I play blues guitar and mandolin with a bunch of people who never use the same groove and tempo - Loopy Pro wil really help us.- I find that tempo often has to be adjusted on the fly in these jam sessiions. However for solo work or when im taking a lead i need the tempo and groove to be just right as the group has a tendency to run away. I also might start off at the wrong speed so I like the idea of a template with all of this pre determined. Ive watched your very informative videos and cant wait to build my first template. Your instruction and your music has been a huge motivation and inspiration for me when I see what is possible. Thank you very much indeed. ps I had the idea of recording stuff in different locations in Scotland - I am bowled over that you managed to travel the world - I may have to raise the bar - funds permitting. Cheers.
