  Looptastic HD Gains Sampling

  Now there are three ways to get your own sounds into Looptastic HD on the iPad (and soon Looptastic Producer on the iPhone and iPod Touch):

   

  1. Via Wi-Fi with the built-in Web server (click the More button on the home screen; see our support link for details)
  2. Via Sonoma Wire Works AudioPaste from compatible apps (read more)
  3. Via microphone (use the iPad's built-in mic or a headphone mic)

  Like everything in Looptastic, live recording is implemented in a fresh, intuitive way:

   

  1. Press the new Sample button at the top of the performance screen.
  2. Wait for the one-measure countdown. (Recording is synchronized with loop playback.)
  3. Record up to eight bars of sound into the microphone. For best results, use a headphone-based mic to avoid picking up the sound of the speaker. (Though if feedback's your thing, go for it.)
  4. Press Done. A new loop will appear in the tray. Looptastic will automatically create a new Loop Set containing all the loops on the screen plus the recording you just made. It will also automatically normalize the audio for consistent volume.
  5. Repeat steps 1–4 as many times as you like. You are only limited by the maximum number of loops (32) and the available memory.
