iOS Personalised Looper (Simplified)

Recommended Posts

1. Download Intua's Beatmaker 2 and Looptastic Producer 3.

2. Start a New Project in Beatmaker. Select Drum Machine, then Empty Preset.

3. Tap on Sample Lab and either Record Sample using your iRig, Open Sample that already exists or iPod Import a sample. We'll assume you're gonna import from your iPod.

4. Once the sample is open, edit it so it loops. The controls are quite simple so I won't go into that part. Save your work once happy.

5. Exit this and then tap on the Sharing icon. Select Pasteboard then Copy BM2 to iOS. Now select your loop.

6. Exit BM2 and open Looptastic.

7. Now tap More, then Audio Paste, then either an existing Loop Set or Create New Set. It's worth noting at this juncture that Loop Sets are governed by the tempo of the first loop in a set.

8. Set the set name and then the loop name, icon (optional) and type - leave this on Auto so it loops ad infinitum.

 

And there you go. Keep building sets (10 loops per set), which can then be used with other sets until your fingers hurt. You can mix them in, effect them, etc.

 

If you change from one set to another, it'll play whatever is playing but discard the other loops in the bottom, replacing them with the new loop set. The tempo will not change until you manually change it. The time-stretching is acceptable but don't push it too far!

 

You can also write your own loops in BM2 and import these into your Looptastic sets as well as get into chopping every beat and rewriting well known breaks/samples.

 

Hope this helps.

It is, man - it's just a cool way of doing your art on the fly - it will never replace a fully-fledged DAW but it's a nice little solution for increasing your productivity.
