See http://audiob.us for more information. http://loopyapp.com http://facebook.com/ATastyPixelhttp://twitter.com/ATastyPixel http://youtu.be/7GgiVhTB_yA -- “This is the best loop station on the iPhone” -- Dub FX (dubfx.net) http://youtu.be/OcKpPY5Vxjs-- “This is an incredible app...I'm definitely using Loopy to write the next album.” -- Pete Mitchell, No More Kings http://youtu.be/_s-MQQg7OvA -- “I pretty much own every mobile looper out there and Loopy is HANDS DOWN the best. Super simple interface with powerful features.” -- J. Alan Meier “If you want a recording app that will get out of the way and just let you be creative, you just found it.” -- Dave Merson-Hess, indie film composer “Loopy 2 is by far the best looper for the iPhone we’ve seen to date” -- iOS Recording This is a looper that'll come out to play, but get down to work when you want to get serious. While other music creation apps tend to be either powerful but difficult to learn, or easy to use but limited in features, Loopy doesn't compromise. Loopy offers a sleek, expressive, instantly understandable interface that beginners can start using effectively straight away. It's fun, right from the start. More advanced users, however, will not be disappointed by Loopy's rich feature set, with extra features many other loopers just don't have. Plus, a sophisticated interactive tutorial system lets users discover Loopy's more advanced features at their own pace.

4 quick questions
I am trying to decide if I should buy loopy hd or not? I am trying to get 4 simple questions about it answered before I buy it. 1. can you import your own files to work on? 2. Can you change pitch of files? 3. can you change tempo of files? 4. can you export your changed files? Thank you.
so I just got
So I just got this app and have a few questions:
1: how does one record with tracks on this app?
2: what's the best way to navigate it? direct touch makes it a bit confusing for me to use.
3: Would normal VO gestures work in the tracks screen?
Thanks!!!!
