It ain’t what you do...
...it’s the way that you do it. Adding IAA and AudioBus compatibility made a difference to what can be achieved with the app. All it needed was AU3… and 4 years on we’re still waiting. )-:TheWightGuy
Fun and Immediate
So fun and So immediate: once you get the hang of it (very quick learning curve) you’ll be making loops nonstop. The UI is a pleasure to use and the parameter controls are incredibly smart. The ability to add your own drum loops as a reference is super useful as is the inclusion of BPM in saved file titles. Don’t hesitate!Show lessNoUserErrorHere!
Great app
Love this app, making samples all day with everyday sounds, doing a video for my channel as we speak on it!MsLed
Brilliant for soundscaping!
I love this app so much I bought a second hand iPhone 6 and a lavalier mic to use as a field recorder with it. Excellent for capturing/warping live environmental ambience for loop creations and audio collage. A very cool idea, well executed, and you can use it as a filter effect in AUM as well (but only one instance as it is not AU, which has me worried for its long term future...) For sound experimentalist, this should be an instabuy. A fifth star if it ever future proofs itself with a move to AU.Show lessSvetlovska
Great app
Well-designed and so responsive. App loads and starts recording within 1-2 seconds, even on my iPhone 6SE. The effect controls and optional backing track are better executed in this app than most audio apps I’ve used. Fantastic.DSI Prophet REV2
Terrific possibilities from this field-recording app
This was a pleasant surprise! I have a penchant for field recordings; my work takes me all over the world and I always build in time to connect with the places I'm lucky enough to visit, to walk, to look and simply to listen to the world around me.
Roughly 80% of the way we perceive the world is visual, for obvious evolutionary reasons, but if you take the time to consciously engage your hearing and really LISTEN to the world around you, you quickly find yourself in a new and wonderful land. You'll find that cities play songs to you...the bass swoosh of car tyres on tarmac, the clattering rhythm of trains on the railway tracks, the voices from a distant radio coming through an open window.
Step outside the cities and you'll discover that nature plays new Brian Eno ambient albums for free, every minute of the day. I've derived immense creative joy from recording those sounds and making music from them over the years, and with the advent of the iPhone and iPad and visionary apps like FieldScaper, I've been able to make some sonic works (I can't rightly call them "songs") that I'm really proud of.
So along comes Loopfield. It automatically records short loops of the ambient sound around you, and offers controls to distort and illuminate what it's captured and then throw beats (from a built-in library, or imported by you) over the top. The results can be exported to the DAW of your choice. It's really simple, tunable, full of complex creative depth yet beautifully executed: FieldScaper still edges it for the richness of its features, but its developer, Igor Vasiliev, can't design a decent UI to save his life, which hampers its appeal. Loopfield is blessed with great design, although I'd still like to see a proper manual made available. Serendipitous exploration is fine up to a point, but for something this good a use guide would really elevate it and make it more accessible.
Anyway, if you're prepared to step away from the mundane 4/4 regularity of the iOS user music world, there are rich rewards to be had here. Buy Loopfield, step outside your door, and make some magicShow lessCotswold Boy
Off to a great start!
It’s a great app! I find myself pulling out my phone throughout the day, and creating batches of loops randomly. It’s fascinating. A couple of future requests, batch export would be super helpful! Also more control over the FX chains and signal routing would be awesome. And I know this request goes above and beyond your initial design, but what would be amazing, is if there were a way to re-sample a loop inside the app itself, similar to the koala app.Show lessJoshuaDb222
Wicked fun!
If you know your Cage and Riley’s this is a given, but equally if you’ve never attempted field recording in your life, this is your golden ticket to sonic adventures in that realm!brentstar
Great Utility
excellent auto slicing of sounds to loop and plans to upgrade the exporting of sound, plus snappy developer response to feedback. ❤️stev0themarried
