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 Compatible with the Audiobus app: Record and loop live audio directly from other Audiobus-compatible apps!
