About

REC LOOP

Features
Read full description

REC LOOP is a continuous recording app built around short countdowns and repeated takes. TRAINING — Build the ability to perform within a time limit Set a specific time limit and practice fitting your performance into it. For example, try speaking, performing, or playing an instrument within 10, 20, or 30 seconds. When one take ends, the next countdown starts immediately, giving you no time to stop and overthink. By repeating this process, you train yourself to organize your thoughts and deliver your best performance within a limited amount of time. BEST TAKE — Keep trying until you get the one Use REC LOOP to record the same performance over and over until you get the take you really like. Repeating the performance gives you more chances to capture that one great take—the moment when everything comes together. A SMARTER WAY TO MANAGE YOUR TAKES REC LOOP doesn't immediately save every recording to your files. Instead, your takes are kept temporarily while you record. When you're finished, you can review them all and save only the ones you want to keep. No clutter. No hundreds of unnecessary videos. Just record, repeat, choose your favorites, and save. FEATURES • Set the take length, rest time, and number of repeats, and the loop runs on its own • A 3·2·1 countdown before each take (can be turned off) • The remaining seconds are shown on screen, placed and sized however you like • The remaining seconds can also be written into the video itself (can be turned off) • A start sound that never ends up in your video • Switch cameras and pinch to zoom, even while recording • After the session, review, select, save, or delete your takes • Three typefaces for the numbers REC LOOP. Train within the limit. Repeat until it's your best. Keep only what matters.
