Hey, just a question. At around 4:38 you do a little sample loop. Your first loop on the orange is short, the yellow is shorter, but then you go for longer on the green. Im curious how you did that. If i record a short loop first, im locked in to that time, but yours wasnt even showing that normal time limit. I rewatched a few times to see if i could find what you changed, but I couldnt see it anywhere. How do i go about doing that?

[@theinfinate]

By default this is how is should work, have you maybe played with the playback settings and changed to quantise? Loop length should be unset as well

[@krazywabbit]

Love this! I see gear and this first question I ask, can I emulate this on the iPad. Bookmarked and will try this out. Thank you!

[@theinfinate]

Cheers man, I’ve tried pretty much every piece of hardware that exists, I always come back to loopy. The possibilities are endless!

[@trancemuter]

when are you gonna finish part 2 for this? we can’t wait :)

[@theinfinate]

Thanks 🙏 with comments like this it will push me to do it sooner 😁

[@redbirdsaraceno]

the only reason im keeping my boss rc505 is that when im using my presonus audio midi interface for mic and midi that dam thing doesn’t charge my ipad even if i try a lightning adapter so the battery just drains where as i can plug in the boss . oh well , still a sweet set up you made here .im enjoying it.

[@theinfinate]

Thanks man, part 2 coming soon 😄 I use a usb hub on mine with power running into the hub so I can use audio interfaces, launchpad pro and apc40 still while charging the iPad

[@redbirdsaraceno]

@@theinfinate i have a usb be hub but the presonus audiobox itwo i use doesn’t respond to midi via my hub . it works great for audio and midi with ipad it just doesn’t charge and apple adapters still wont charge it so its lame that way . oh well ill figure something out down the road sometime.

[@theinfinate]

@@redbirdsaraceno you need to get a modern usb hub with a high watt power pass through, usb c and all that. I had trouble with midi on old hubs that didn't provide enough power. I reckon just get a new hub and that might likely fix your problem. good luck man, bottle necks in your setups hold you back ey

Funny thing is, that the RC-505 actually is the ideal interface for Loopy. Once you‘ve connected successfully, it‘ll connect instantly after booting. You can use the RC-effects and the tempo settings can be set by the RC‘s button. By physically putting the iPad above the RC, you get the ideal user interface - and you‘ll notice all the shortcomings of the RC-505. Once Michael has implemented all the MIDI features, you can attack the arranger keyboard world - and gain some indepence there too. 😊

This video was great. I learned a lot. Keen to see part 2.

[@theinfinate]

thanks man, thanks for watching. the next one will be a deep dive!

[@markjames6129]

Great to see your workings. I’ve based my template around the 505 I’ve come from to LP 🎉

[@theinfinate]

LP is so much better ey!

[@trancemuter]

so cool! thanks!

[@enriquechacon1789]

Awesome!

[@redbirdsaraceno]

So one issue ive been having is when i assign toggle on effect to the track effect section and try to assign toggle action to an effect it only allows me to assign whatever effect it is to one color/clip . It would when i used stock reverb from loopy and automatically assigned it to all track/clips but when i try most other auv3 fx its making me assign them individually and im having to assign each track to a separate instance of said effect . if that even makes sense. i wish youtube allowed sending screen shots so i could show you. I guess i can try buying another app . The example im referring to is a delay called discord , but its been happening with a good majority of my auv3 fx and im not seeing a toggle group option as there was setting up input effects. another i would have to make an individual button per track on track fx to get it to work , so i must be doing something wrong here. This is about the stage where i start getting frustrated and burned out after repeatedly trying to figure it out. Eventually i should get . taking a break for now on my one day off to watch tv and shove ice cream in my fat face !

[@theinfinate]

If I understand correctly. When adding an effect to first track add an instance of the effect then when adding to the other tracks make sure it is the same version (it will have and A in a circle if this is the first time this effect is used, B if second etc) this means there is only one effect instance and all tracks are going through the same instance, don’t add a new version on each track. Does this make sense?

[@StephenWEwart]

Thanks for this, learned a lot. Also, i’m in Woodford, so i guess we’re almost neighbours? i’ve subied.

[@theinfinate]

Awesome man thanks for watching and subbing, yeah I guess we are neighbours 🙂, I’m near coolum

[@timodelange]

[@theinfinate]

Thanks for watching, yes there is a part 2. If you search through videos on my channel you should find it 😊

[@redbirdsaraceno]

@@theinfinate Sweet ! lookin forward to it.

[@bionic23]

Very nice😎

[@theinfinate]

Thanks man

[@bionic23]

Where can i download templates?

[@theinfinate]

Sorry I don’t have them available, this is a video to show you how to do it yourself

[@lydwinna]

cant wait for part 2 :)

[@theinfinate]

thankyou :) I hope to get back to these videos soon

[@benparsons734]

Bro! It’s Ben (New Earth) loving the vids and just wondering if you recommend any ambient music producing apps to use with Loopy? 🤙🤍

[@theinfinate]

@@benparsons734 hey brother, funny you ask as i was just about to go to Nepal and looking for meditation sounds as me and my partner do live improv sessions on youtube (Ancient Alkemy if you want to see what i do with loopy) and because i cant take my guitar we are going to do meditative atmospheric type music. I’d recommend looking at apps like xinematix, that seems to be the best i can find for that style. Synth one has got some cool presets and get a nice reverb like Eos2 or Stratosphere. Dubstation 2 is a good delay too. I make a lot of my sounds in Logic Pro using my more expensive plugins like omnisphere or various kontakt libraries and auto sample them, send the .exs24 file to audiolayer on the ipad which is basically kontakt on the ipad.
