I’ve been asking for a LP for Dummies, and this is so close!! All other lessons Fly thru menu options,,you have succeeded where they all failed and explained your menu selection. This is the vid every new user should watch. Thank you!!
This is probably the best tutorial I’ve watched on building a template. Nathan thank you hope you do more tutorials on loopy pro. You’ve given me some great Ideas. I’ve been using switch button to go from bass to guitar on the same channel it’s the circle with a point button on the far right. It can be set up for multiple guitar tones. Switching to bass and having it record ready is super cool and I can’t wait to try it. The thing I really want to figure out is how to set loopy pro up for different sections of a song. Maybe use the same basic drum beat continuously but switch to a second set of loops for a different riff! Anyway Nathan you’re a really good teacher and look forward to more of videos!
Very good! Thanks for the excellent tutorial! I suggest putting the "all clear" button in long press mode, to prevent a simple accidental touch from erasing everything...
Thank you Nathan. So many good ideas that I will incorporate. I would suggest a swipe for the "All Clear" button rather than just press. My fat fingers will easily hit the button on accident and all will be gone. You can always undo but ......
I just heard of LP some days ago and don’t know anything about looping stuff. This video made so many things clear and shows the possibilities of this app. It’s insane. Thank you very much to going into detail and showing all these important features. The only thing that missing (for me): I don’t know how to program these extra loops. I will watch the end again. Perhaps I missed something. Great job, thank you again so much.
Thank you, Mr. Roberts! I'm trying to move from Boss 505mkII to LP to lighten my gear, and I appreciate your time. And your talent! Markus K is remarkable. I subbed and liked. Thank you so much.
Great clip. This is a great lesson for a tool like loopy. It's not easy to stick to the fundamentals when everything is possible. You can also add 1 looper that will catch everything currently playing in addition to clear all. Then you can easily stack more live playing on top of the live playing 😅 But loopy is capable of anything. Good stuff
Hi Nathan … thanks very much for this very helpful video and also for posting your template. I am going to give it a try. I debated on if I should mention this because it is such a small thing but I thought you might want to know. When you are dealing with midi the “value” that you set is really velocity. That term comes from the midi messages that are sent from a midi keyboard. The velocity is a measure of how hard you press the keys. In the long run it usually works out to the same as volume in most applications.
Brilliant! At last, someone who clearly explains it spot on. I was just about to give up because the tutorials were going too fast, could not see the cursor, the accent was not very clear etc. Nathan, thank you! Now, can you recommend the Soft Step 3 as available alternative to AirTurn or is it worth it? I think you and Markus should do a video together. That, would be "Rock Star" status!! I would PAY for that show...
I’m humbled by your great comments. Thank you. The Softstep 2 is an excellent pedal so I would think the Softstep 3 would be a good investment. Markus and I are working on getting together for a video. Just trying to get our schedules to align.
@@nathanjroberts1 Hey, thanks for responding, most do not. So, I have the AirTurn BT500S-4 You said to set it at 7. Is it the same for the 4-button pedal? It also seems that the actions on your screen and mine are different. In your previous tutorial, as you said, when I tap on the input channel mic, I don't have channel select. Also, when I set it like yours, I get a very high pitched feedback somehow. Most tutorials go too fast or cannot see the cursor. Everyone seems to be highly advanced in computers or have been doing it forever and it hard to catch up. I agree, a "LP Dummies" would be worth the price of pain...
Maybe. Could be my mic is too close? Also, some screen shots are not like yours. Same on other tutorials making it extremely difficult to follow. Now, I'm getting very little sound out of two KRK speakers running out of a Focusrite 4i4 4th Gen. interface, connected via lightning into an iPad 17.3.1. Guitar in input one, mic in input two. Finally, thank YOU very much, I can now get the AirTurn BT500S-4 working but there seems to be a timing glitch unlike yours. Could you maybe add timing, beats to the next tutorials? Thank you kind Sir!@@nathanjroberts1
Great setup! I’ve been using loopy since its first incarnation. I have a pretty wild loopy pro setup using AUM3 but this looks great and I’m going to play with it!
Thank you very much for this! Just getting started with Loopy Pro, and this is precisely what I have been looking for. I am going to replicate everything you've done just to be sure I understand everything. Subscribing!
Great lesson ! Thanks so much ! That’s what I was looking for ! Amazing …. I will now need to figure how to create couple more groups of loops to switch verse - bridge - chorus for rhythm guitar and bass.
Thank you for this tutorial from a working musician that makes a concise and understandable working model and video. I just got Loopy Pro a few days ago along with my first Apple product, an iPad. A little background: Years ago when I played out in a two man band, we had bought one MIDI capable keyboard and Korg’s very first sequencer, the SQ1. Afterwords, we collected tons of midi equipment, so I bought and hardwired another SQ1’s clock to the first one and created a 32 channel system. That system lasted for years (and bars). So here’s my question: since you can stop and start immediately - at will, do any of your midi notes get stuck on? Does the built in procedure have a midi kill function or a midi kill command? Has stuck on notes ever happened from doing that? Thanks again!
I’ve used the SQ1, I also had an SQ-80. I still have my Korg Triton Pro. I know about stuck notes. I can say that after about 3 months of going totally Loopy Pro that I haven’t had a stuck note yet. It could happen tomorrow but it hasn’t happened yet. I do believe that if it did that the ‘All Stop’ could possibly stop it.
You’re probably right, it must be tight programming within the app. I forgot to thank you for the template. I figured you be a good content creator right from Day Tripper!
Thank you Nathan! I love how clearly you explain this... I'm on the cusp of using Loopy Pro, and am trying to find out how a person CONNECTS everything to their ipad or iphone. What types of audio interface / mixer do you use to connect to your ipad. I'd love to see just a camera sweep showing the devices connected between your ipad and your instruments / microphone, etc...
Great work, so ToneStack is used for Bass and AmpliTube for Guitar, right? And Guitar is connected via audio interface, while vocal goes via IPad mic? How do you avoid latency in a live setup with an external PA? ?
Love this ! As someone who is looking to do some life looping, this has everything I need. One question though :How did Digistix know that you wanted the kickdrum and not for example the snare, when you made the button ? Cheers
WOw! Terrific lesson. I downloaded your template, and it's working well. My only issue is that the extra snare kick shaker......on the right, do not sync with the drum pattern II played. I wasn't sure what to select on the drum timing for each of the drums on the left side so I just selected Sixteenth note and Quantization. Do you have different settings?
Boy Nathan you really lifted the curtain for me. I’d been trying to get with LP, but it wasn’t happening! Finally I see the light, so thank you! Question: I noticed your kick pad triggers record on the initial loop. When I tried to set that up (press/record) it works till the second kick beat, and then it turns off. What’s the trick? I know it’s just doing what I told it to.
Thank you for your useful tutorial information. I’m looking to upgrade to this stunning package app. I’ve actually got loopy HD which is very good. No I’ve not used it as much as what I feel I should’ve done. However it’s never too late. Is Digi stick included in loopy pro or is it a separate app you have to download?
Thank you for the tutorial! May be you know, how to make each channel from Digistix send to individual loop channel in Loopy Pro. If I want to record Drum Kit simultaneously, but with possibilty to edit separate drums. Thank you one more time!
I don't know if this is a silly question but here it goes. If the extra loops are already there, doesn't one of them behave like the master? How do you make them "follow" the tempo of the first loop that you record? Thanks for the tutorial. As a beginner in loopy pro, this is exactly what i need to get going.
Very useful, specifically for me the bass part and the xtraloop. I got logic pro, could you tell me witch patches or loop you have take to import in loopy pro ? When i import your template i got an error "Couldn't import project: Not a valid project' you have an idea why ? Thanks you for this video!
Great video - well impressed with your layout - it would suit me perfectly - I see the download URL - but since I'm very niaive with LP - how do i download & install your template?
Very good video. Can I ask you one thing that is troubling me. If I record first loop on mic. (Say guitar) How do I prevent its playback being recorded on second mic loop ( vocal) . How do I prevent bleed ? I’m beginning to think live looping with multiple mic loops is not possible . Does that make sense?
@@nathanjroberts1 I cant understand whether I need an audio interface to connect ipa d output to an amp for live playing .if so , can this funciton as a mixer for voice and guitar at the same time ? is a mixer required or uncessary ?
For live players . The bus issue is not loopy . It’s how to connect the iPad to an amp when using guitar and voice . Do you use audio interface which everything goes through or do you use ins on amp and send loopy pro to aux in . Does that make sense ?
Great info and video - thank for this! I am considering transitioning to ipad/loopyPro from voicelive3 extreme. Cheers. Let me know if you have any recomendations for a vocal harmonizer for loopy pro. Cheers
What exactly is the clock option is this to do with midi? My media skills are extremely limited though. I know this option is extremely useful. I’d actually like to hook up one or two Hardware music keyboards to loopy pro in order for me to use the stunning sounds from my Hardware instruments Know, I’m sure the sounds on loopy are brilliant.
Another question re: Extra Loops .. What length should the clip be? I added one with snare hit and another with hi-hat, trimmed to the length of the wave form. Boy those clips were spinning like windmills in high wind when I triggered them during my loop! I tried using ‘extend’ in the clip properties, which helped but was complicated. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Thanks a lot for these wonderful tips, that's what I needed !!! You're the best :)
Thank you for your encouragement. There’s still a lot here I don’t know, but we’ll learn together.
Thank you for this tutorial, great energy and smile. For the extra loops, did you record them previously and import them in loopy pro?
‘Xtra’ loops were recorded in Logic and then imported. However, they can just as easily be recorded in Loopy Pro.
Great work, so ToneStack is used for Bass and AmpliTube for Guitar, right? And Guitar is connected via audio interface, while vocal goes via IPad mic? How do you avoid latency in a live setup with an external PA?
?
In a live setting, my mic and guitar both go into the interface. I use a Behringer UMC 204. The mixer in Loopy Pro is my mixer. No latency.
great job nathan, thank you

Hi again Nathan … can Loopy Pro be used to play backing tracks? I guess you would just add an mp3 to a loop.
Yes it can. You would have to import them to a loop.

Your question makes perfect sense. Most run their guitar direct, it’s plugged in. Mic is used for vocals, beat boxing, or percussion.
