Everyday Looper is a live-looping app for iPhone and iPad with synchronized video recording and echo cancellation for looping through the speaker without headphones. Try everything free for 7 days, then choose a one-time lifetime purchase or a subscription. You get 8 tracks that you control directly. Touch a track to record, mix, mute, merge or overdub. The first recording defines the base loop, and the other tracks stay synchronized with it. The app includes: • 8 audio tracks with live waveforms • Direct touch controls for recording, mixing, muting, merging and more • Adaptive track lengths from 2× to 16× the base loop • 10-level undo and redo on each track • Half-speed, double-speed and reverse controls for each track • A built-in metronome with a count-in to start recording hands-free • Support for wired and wireless headphones plus compatible USB audio interfaces • Sample-accurate latency compensation RECORD THE PERFORMANCE Everyday Looper can record synchronized video while you perform. The app captures the loop audio, animated tracks and camera together. After recording, you can choose from several video layouts and save or share the finished video. LOOP WITHOUT HEADPHONES Echo cancellation lets you record while the loop plays through the device’s speaker. You can use Everyday Looper without headphones and without recording the existing loop back into every new track. REBUILT FROM THE ORIGINAL The first Everyday Looper launched in 2009. Encouraged by singers, beatboxers and loop artists who still used it, I rebuilt it from the ground up for today’s iPhones and iPads. It preserves the original direct-touch track control while adding more tracks, improved audio handling, echo cancellation, per-track editing and synchronized video recording. TRY IT FREE, THEN CHOOSE YOUR PLAN Everyday Looper requires a one-time lifetime purchase or a Full Access subscription (monthly or yearly). Every plan includes all the features listed above. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, so you can try everything before paying. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
