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/

About

Beatbook

Read full description

A drum machine with nothing in it until you beatbox into it. Beatbook is a pocket loop station with one twist: every pad starts completely empty. There's no stock drum kit hiding underneath. Hold a pad, make a sound with your mouth (or your desk, or your dog), and that's your kick. Hold another — that's your snare. In under two minutes you've built a kit out of nothing but your own voice. Record your own sounds. Sixteen pads, all empty on first launch. Press and hold to record, release to stop — no menus, no settings, just hold and make noise. Re-record any pad any time. One row can even hold a longer take, for anyone who wants to hum a hook instead of tapping a beat. Loop it, layer it. Hit record for a one-bar count-in, then tap out a 4-bar beat that loops right back on itself — tight and quantized by default, or turn snap off and keep your own exact timing. Keep hitting record to stack layer on layer: kick pass, then hats, then a vocal stab on top. Perform it live. Four row-mute checkboxes sit right next to the grid — one touch kills a whole row mid-loop, instantly, with zero glitch. Cut the bass, build the tension, slam it back in on the downbeat. It's built for that tension-and-release move live loopers love, not just for programming a beat and walking away. Keep it or share it. Every beat autosaves — there's no save button, because you can't lose your work. Park a few different beats in the tape deck's save slots, come back to any of them, or export a loop straight to Messages or Mail so a friend can hear it. Made a beat you love? It's one tap away from someone else's ears. Sketched, not skinned. Every line on screen looks hand-drawn in pencil on ruled notebook paper — because beatboxing into your phone in a quiet corner of a study hall is exactly the vibe this app is for. No ads. No stock sounds. No account. Just you, a mic, and an empty grid waiting to be filled.
