Record a part, loop it, and stack the next one on top. Up to eight tracks, each with a level control, so the idea sounds like a song before you leave the room. Fully on-device: no cloud, no account. Start with a chord loop, add a bass line, then a melody. Undo the last layer if it was wrong. When it works, export the mixdown as an audio file. • Up to 8 loop tracks, with level and mute per track • Undo the last layer • Export the mixdown as an audio file • A library of saved loop sessions For guitarists and singers building song ideas, beatboxers, and anyone who uses a loop pedal on stage and wants one in their pocket. Pro, or SUS4 All-Access across the whole range, adds reverb, delay and 3-band EQ on each layer, stem export (every track as a separate file) and unlimited saved loops. Made in the UK by working musicians. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
