Start with a voice, an instrument, a rhythm, or an idea. Let the audio come back around, add something new, then keep building from there. No timeline to arrange and no clips to stitch together afterward. What you create is what you performed, as you performed it. Build harmonies one part at a time. Lay down a rhythm and play over it. Add an instrument, step back for a verse, then jump into the loop again when inspiration hits. Ampfold keeps the process simple so you can stay focused on the performance. • Live audio looping and layering • Continuous video recording throughout your take • Add vocals, instruments, rhythms, harmonies, and more • Turn layering on or off at any point in the loop • Keep performing live even when you aren't adding a new layer • Front and rear camera support • Review your take before saving • No account Whether you're building a song from scratch, stacking harmonies, working out an arrangement, or capturing a spontaneous performance, Ampfold gives you a simple way to turn live looping into something you can watch and share. Press record and see where the loop takes you.
