Thanks! He is such a great artist!

Thank you!

That may be true - but when the ‘like’ columns is millions of people, I’d take that!

I hope you’re talking about me, not George

I’m so glad I was able to help! Happy looping and I hope you have a lot of fun!!

I still need a one mic solution though. Gotta be a way!

Hey mate! Thanks for the comment! There is a way if you have a volume pedal - you can clip between having the vocals feeding the looper, or not… I’ve definitely done this before but can’t remember the exact steps!

@@olivergearing​​⁠Actually I have an A/B box that would do a great job. I’ve thought about taking an APC40 out with me as well and go clip based. So many options for my tiny brain.

Thanks so much!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!

@ kay I ask - weee you already familiar with hexadecimal midi messages or apple script or did you have to learn in order to achieve the shortcuts presented in the video?

@ had to learn it. I had heard of them, but never used them. A bit of trial and error plus many google searches!

Cool, thanks!

Thanks. It really depends on your project. I added Hall reverb at about 30% wet, but if it were mixing it into a track, I would use send buses. Room reverb and hall reverb. Room to make it gel and sit with the other instruments, and then hall to give it a grander vibe. As you say - so many options, but trust your ears - if it sounds good - it is good!

Anytime! I hope it helped!

I’ve heard of this guy, I need to go and remind myself of his stuff! Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you! Yes, you need to have a full arrangement worked out, with the exact moments the loopers start and stop, so it’s quite an effort to create each song, but once they’re created, you’ve got an asset!

Thank you

Apologies, I got a copyright strike due to music on it - so it is an upload of a prior tutorial

Super, I use your setup for more than a year now 💫🎸✨✨only difference is that I use a Softstep3 midi controller 😊

Using a foot controller (or any button) is definitely a good method - however if you want things to move automatically in time with the music, this can help

Thank you! There are so many great techniques and options out there. I appreciate your comments!

Greeting! Thanks for your kind words!

A friend has the ditto plus, he loves it. The pedals are really well made and just work. I need to get my hands on a Sheeran one though!

Thank you! I really appreciate you stopping by, and please let me know if there are areas of videos that I could cover!

Great idea! This hopefully would be useful for anyone looking to choose between Ableton Vs Logic etc!!

Very fair comment. Its hard to be so ‘broad brush’ in reasoning why people do things, and I was probably a little aggressive in my conclusion

Thank you so much! That’s a band I hadn’t heard of before! Just spent an enjoyable 30 minutes listening to their top tracks!

This will be the ‘global quantise’ setting - this defines how quickly it responds. I normally set it to 1 bar, meaning it starts recording (or stops) at the beginning of the next bar. You can use ‘none’ which means it reacts instantly

Should do, although I’ve never tested it myself (I have the full version). Not that if you have the ‘lite’ version you sometimes get with hardware (this is different to ‘intro’) this version doesn’t have the Looper, so won’t do it

Amazing thanks! I never thought of that one!!

Thank you, hope it was useful!

Challenge accepted! I think you “note on” as the trigger for a MIDI translation from 1 to 2, then “note off” to end it is probably the way. You could use note on to trigger a translator to be active (with the MIDI code from my video) then note off to inactivate the translator. How does that sound?

@ thank you so much for your answer.. I’ll try this out and will let you know!

I found the solution mixing different techniques! Your instructions were the starting point so really really thank you! I used some rules to do it. First I wrote a global variable “g0=0” to define g0 as midi channel 1. Then I created a translator setting up a button in my launchpad as incoming message. The rule written to increment the channel by 1 was “g0=g0+1” with the condition “if g0>1 then g0=0” creating a loop (ch1 > ch2 > ch1 …). The button is a toggle but it’s ok! Last step was setting up the Note On and Note Off with couple of extra translators (incoming Ch=0 pp qq / Outcoming Ch=g0 pp qq). It works!

@ wow that is brilliant! I’ve not got my head round variables yet!

Thank you so much for the comment! I hope your looping and tapping grows from strength to strength!

Thank you Syke! I hope you are well?

​@@olivergearingvery well sir. Great to see you're still putting out music. Haven't missed a beat. Great track.

So sorry to hear that! Can you help me understand how you’re using the space bar? Are you using this to trigger a note? You need a separate MIDI track to play the notes (on channel 1), that trigger the MIDI that starts the looper…

Great!

Thank you very much! I’m afraid I don’t know much about loopy pro - definitely 1 for me to look into!

@@olivergearing It's incrediby flexible and enlessly configurable. Anything can trigger a loop, so I wouldn't doubt it could be done. Version 2.0 dripping soon with even more features.

@@professordeb I’m intrigued! I’ll check it out

@@olivergearing Fair warning, there is a steep learning curve for this! But well worth it, and there are many great tutorials out there. Also, iPad only right now. Mac version coming in the near future.

@ cheers

They look very cool! I’m definitely less casual than them!

Thank you!

This sounds like the sorts of problems I had when I first tried to set these up. The ‘tempo control’ setting needs to be ‘follow song tempo’ and the ‘song control’ needs to be ‘none’. Quantisation should be 1 bar - which then means the looper starts and stops everything on the first beat of the next bar. Try those settings, see if it works?

@@olivergearing Thanks for the reply. I actually did get it working. I needed to set the fist looper (or master looper) to Quantization = none, Song control = Start & Stop song and Tempo control Set & Follow song tempo. Now that I have this working, I'd like to be able to use it in a live improv setting where I am often switching instruments but also switching which instrument starts the initial loop without a bunch of hassle, changing all the settings around and just using a single midi foot controller button press. Hopefully Im not dreaming :)

@ definitely possible mate! If you put a looper on a return or send track, then use the record arm coupled with auto monitoring on your instrument tracks, this might work

@ Sounds an awesome set up. Let me know if you get it flowing!

Thanks for the tips

Thanks for the feedback

Thank you for your comment, this makes me happy

Thank you!!

Good question. For me, I like to keep the input track separate from the looper track. It gives you greater flexibility. For example - if you wanted to change the volume of the looper - it’s easier as a separate track than using the level k ie inside. Or applying different effects. But as you say, using 1 track works as well

@@olivergearing thanks! I appreciate the response!

Yeah it’s a bit off

@@olivergearing hey man its alright your having fun and thats all that matters id like to see more of it

Thank you! Great to hear that you’re looping!

Thank you for saying that! Good luck with the looper!

There are always solutions my friend!! I use BOME midi translator a lot - this could convert the signal from pedal to (say) a keyboard press, or a MIDI note. I’ve got an offer code in one of my other videos (my secret weapon) - or you can try the demo version to see if it works

Thank you! I hope it works out for you!

@ finally done! I am a beginner of this, now I have to learn how to use a pedal and how to save the project 🤪🤪🤪🎹🎹🎹

Thank you for the comment - I agree wholeheartedly with you!!

That’s great news! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry if it wasn’t for you ! Thanks for watching - you can find the chords written out in the description of the video if that helps?
