sam_squarewave Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Hi, I've made a few videos showing a way to set Loopback and Playback for synced live looping. The new version is pretty nice - and best of all, hasn't crashed while playing. http://www.samgreene.com/drupal_samgreene/mainstage2-and-loopback Edited March 17, 2010 by sam_squarewave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for playback it's ok, but when we group LoopBack and PlayBack, it's not the same. Crash systematic. you tested ?

jmdad Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 On playback and mainstage, there is a function group, in bottom on the right. When 2 playback are on group 1 they react together to the various commands, stop, play... There is the same on loopback. since version 2, that functions on loopback. I have a question; tested with loopback with sync " off " and the function " set concert tempo after first take " after the rec, when loopback is playing, there is a "crak " and the loop is ok but don't start immediately. this problem takes place when mainstage is running. I would like to have your opinion it above thank you, J.Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsbaker Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Well, how about a video showing how to use the MainStage looper the way guitarists and performers use hardware loopers: with no click track or recording over a preset tempo. That is, you tap a button to start a loop, play your part, then tap a button to "close" the loop and play it. The loop must close cleanly and on time. Then, you can choose to either play that loop, overdub on it, or pause it. If you pause it, it must start instantly at the top of the loop. Further, you need to be able to add other loops that synch to the 1st (master) loop. Can you make a video to show Loopback as a looper? Can Loopback be used as a looper? Because I can't make it work as one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahhh Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I just discovered the looper in mainstage and I'm pretty pleased so far. I think I'll finally be able to build the looper I've always wanted. I think I need to make a feature request to allow automatic or MIDI controlled exporting of loops though. What if we had a "convert loopback to new playback track" command?! I'm working on a three stage looper now. My external audio and soft synths will go to an aux channel with 4 loopbacks, which will go to an another aux with 4 loopbacks, which will go to another aux with 4 loopbacks and I'm hoping if things go right I can mute the output of the second aux and then send the loopbacks on aux 3 back onto aux 1. In this way I'll have unlimited resampling ability. I have a limited version of this setup in hardware with a few different loopers and I love composing this way. I'm itching for more control of the audio after the fact though. The hardest part so far is getting the multi-mapping setup correctly(famous last words? ) . I wish there were preconfigured commands for stop + clear and things like that. I'm not a huge fan of Loopback remembering your loop length. It should be optional, I think. I enjoy Live a lot, but I've never been entirely pleased with it for a variety of reasons. I hope this works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 just found this http://www.essej.net/sooperlooper/index.html looks like it could be a bit better than the loopback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borducks Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 just found this http://www.essej.net/sooperlooper/index.html looks like it could be a bit better than the loopback. Sooperlooper is pretty powerful. And for the most part it's complete. I've been using it for several months, and it's no less stable than Mainstage itself lately. Can't use it in 64 bit mode, though, which bites when you've maxed out your system to handle lots of long loops. I would recommend MIDI mapping your controller in SL not Mainstage. Set up and tweak your SL set up on an aux channel and save the channel strip. That will capture all of the SL settings too and save a bunch of time on your next project.

sam_squarewave Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sooperlooper is pretty great - and way easier to get mapped than loopback if you need more than one loop, and who doesn't? Somehow I've not subscribed to this thread, but I have a video showing how to use SL in mainstage. http://www.audiopropellor.com/mainstage-and-sooperlooper/ . You have to sign up for free though. The author of sooperlooper is awesome and will make improvements sometimes when requested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
