Crashes on iPad 6th gen and iPhone X

I just downloaded it, I want this app to work so bad, it’s awesome until it crashes. I use VoiceJam Studio and Loopy HD during live performances and they work great, I just wanted to try something new, please fix this so I can show your app off on stage too! As soon as the crashes stop I can give it 4 stars. It’ll get 5 when I can record the session, and not just save the loops. Voice jam studio and loopy hd let you do that. Also add an in app record session!

Response from developer

Hi there, try out the latest version. If it works for you, would you mind updating your review? If not, please email me at daniel@codalabs.io so I can get the info I need from you to fix it ASAP. Thanks!

Not bad but has an issue

Not bad at all, but one frustrating thing is that it seems to ignore the channel volume in the master file when you use the export feature, which is really disappointing, 5 stars if this is fixed though!

Pretty Good but small glitches

I do a lot of live looping and have synced this to AUM clock and other gear being used. MIDI mapping is useful for fx changes and transport buttons work well for stopping, starting, recording etc.

My only real complaint is the midi mapping causes crashes. For example I have two loops running and sliders of a midi controller mapped to the tremolo effect and the comb filter. If I try and change two parameters or more at the same time it often (not every time) causes a crash. If this was fixed it would be a fantastic tool. I use a work around where I use external effects after the looper in the chain.

Just plain awful.

First: The count-in is literally random. A random number appears when you start recording, sits there for a second, then starts counting down from another random number. Uh, okay.

Second: From the tutorial, “Your recording is now timed perfectly to the metronome.” HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA no. Not even a tiny bit close. Adjusting the single latency setting does nothing.

Third: Try the effects. Use the trigger feature. It won’t turn off. Can’t adjust the effects after they’re set.

Three strikes, you’re out. Complete waste of time and money, which I’d like back please.

False advertisement

This is not an Audiokit App. It crashes very often, and it has not been updated for a long time. The midi binding is very limited as well, even typical looper operation is not possible, such as using a single button control record and stop. Instead, the app needs two separate buttons to control record and stop. Not recommend at all.

COULD be awesome.

Just to be clear, I am only talking about the free version here. But this is an odd one. There’s so many things that other music apps get wrong (like pre and post FX) that this one totally nails. But at the same time there are some really basic features that could make this a seriously usable app. Just adding the ability to crop your samples, or change a start point, mute a small section, or at very least add fade ins/outs, would make all the difference. Any one of those things could take this from being a toy that’s amusing for two minutes, to being something I might actually be able to use in my studio. It’s like they’ve got the hard stuff right (smooth pitch-shifting for instance), but they just seem to have skipped on the absolute basics. Also (and I might very easily have got this wrong), but the countdown you get before a recording starts seems to match the length of time that you want to record. This is a nightmare! I can’t imagine that anyone wants a countdown of less than two seconds, or more than 8 seconds, for anything musical at all. You need long enough to move from pressing record to what you actually want to record, but not so long that you forget your timing or where you are. After recording endless loops of just my fingers clicking between apps I simply gave up.

Problem with audio interface

I can’t tell if there’s a problem with compatibility, but Samson g track microphone doesn’t work well, it left an awful digital noise. The same mic works perfectly well in other iOS apps…

Good but a few bugs…

This app is easy to use and very fun but the only things I thought were strange, are
1. Sometimes it doesn’t record, it just turns green like nothing has been recorded when you press a 2 4 or 8 or 1.
2. If you spotlight a recording and then delete it, the whole thing mutes.

Other than that, VERY FUN!

Easy to use but lacking essential features

Nice looking easy to use looper but midi bindings for individual tracks to stop/ start and an easily accesible mixer would have made this a useful looper for backing tracks. Suggest programmers take a look at Quantiloop and add the suggested features..

Drains battery

This app has been draining my iPad battery overnight. I checked battery usage and even without having the app open it is using battery. How? I don’t know. Why? I don’t know. I had to delete it.
