[@davidsimpson3380]

Hello Markus, your video sounds have improved and sound fuller with a wider range of frequencies! Is that because the recordings are now taken direct from the Loopy Pro? How does the live-in-the-field sound compare between your old powered speaker and the new pa? Also, in connecting your ipad to the audio interface, are you connecting thru the Lightning port or the headphone jack? Many Cheers and Blessings in your music ministry!

[@MarkusK.]

A year and a half ago, I started upgrading the quality. Loopy Pro let’s me record multitrack of my live sessions, so I can create a better stereo field etc in a remix. I am running it at 32 bits now. The speaker is far superior to any other battery powered speaker I have tried, and I sometimes mix it into the final sound. The iPad goes to the audio interface via USB. I am glad people are noticing it :)

I just got the Spark Live which can be put on Speaker stand and turned sideways to play in stereo. It can act as 4 channel mixer. If you buy the battery its battery powered. It sounds great. The guitar software that goes with it can be played on IPad or Phone. On the phone you can reach internet to play backing tracks. I pad I would have to have internet access. I downloaded the Loopy pro softerware and a free drum app. I have the Akai MP218 like you do and MK Mini. I am trying to get my head around how to put this all togather and make it work. Any suggestions would be great.

I am watching your videos now on Loopy Pro and groove rider never used those apps. I am sure I will have questions. Thanks for making the videos. Nice guitar tone and nice job on the videos.

[@rocketrose2165]

@@triplev3539 The only way I was able to use Spark with LP is the headphone jack out into the audio interface into LP. There's a perceptible latency that sours the process for me. You can get more effects than the Spark software offers as (oftentimes) free plugins. There's much more flexibility, just make sure they are AUv3 and they'll play nicely with Loopy Pro. Have a look at the vid Markus did a few months ago. It's a great jumping off point. The Sparks (original, Mini and Go) were my rig for years and had most of the pedals I needed but I couldn't change the order or loop. That little Go does everything the others can do and it clips on the strap. What none of them had was a line out except the headphone jack. When I have time and space I prefer the added flexibility of my LP setup. I can emulate any pedal. Oh and you don't have to loop.

Hope to hear from you and keep up the amazing work please! Peace!

The FCB is connected to the audio interface via an old fashioned MIDI. Once it is connected, use the MIDI learn feature in Loopy Pro to assign certain functions to the foot switches, such as record and play a certain clip (loop) 🙂

What an informative video at a nice pace. sorry to trouble you again , Can you help? I am confused with signal pathways . Question _ is it better to play everything thourgh an audio interface (guitar voice , keys and ipad) which is then conected to aux in on an amp? . Is everything going through the ipad an d loopy pro app and then through to the main amp . I have tried to connect loopy pro to amp via bluetooth (have no suitbale usb interface yet) and then jam along with guitar plugged straight into amp . Am I correct in thinking the audio interface is acting like one giant mixer feeding everything into loopy pro and then to the main inputs on amp . ? I hope this makese sense - if interface is just to connect ipad - one channel woudld suffice - if its to handle everything (and use auv3 effects) i need 4 inputs . I suddenly realied i didint understand the signal flow through the system and froze when it came to buying a suitable audio interface, forgive me- but you may be the only person who can answer this. thank you in advance Markus

I am contemplating using loopy pro to automate a small stage production that sequences audio spoken word story narration with sound effects and or songs . Some of this material is on windows pc and needs assembled .i can see the sequencer play a useful role here . Looping would be minimal, or non existent here .
