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

Pocket Looper

Features
Read full description

The phrase you just played becomes a loop. Pocket Looper is a loop station built for one thing: practising guitar and bass. Tap the big button in the middle to start recording. Tap it again and the phrase loops. Tap once more and you are overdubbing on top of it. That single button is the whole interface. ONE BUTTON FOR EVERYTHING Record, overdub, stop, resume. Every state change happens on the centre button, so you can drive it the way you would stomp a pedal on the floor. You never have to hunt for a small control while your hands are on the instrument. SEE WHAT YOU ARE LAYERING Your loop is drawn as a waveform with a playhead showing exactly where the playback is. You can see which beat you are overdubbing onto, which makes it much easier to come in on time. Undo and redo let you take back a bad take instantly. BE YOUR OWN BACKING BAND Record a chord progression, let it loop, and practise your solo over it. You get accompanied repetition without booking a rehearsal room or waiting for a band. It works just as well for writing riffs and for singer-songwriter practice. BUILT FOR DRILLING (PREMIUM) - Slow practice: drop the speed to 0.5x while keeping the original pitch, so you can take a fast lick apart and rebuild it - A-B section loop: mark A and B on the waveform and repeat only that stretch - Save and recall loops: name a phrase and come back to it tomorrow - Export your recordings to other apps - All in-app ads removed TEN LANGUAGES The interface follows your device language automatically: English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean. WHO IT IS FOR - Guitarists and bassists who drill the same phrase every day - Players who want to build their own backing track and improvise over it - Anyone who would rather just record and layer than learn a large app first Premium is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no expiry. The free tier lets you record and overdub loops of up to 30 seconds. https://tenmais.jp/?lang=en
