-====== Loopy Pro: Troubleshooting ======
-This page covers tips for troubleshooting Loopy Pro. If you have not checked Loopy Pro's manual, you may want to start by taking a look at the [[https://loopypro.com/manual/|Loopy Pro Manual]] a link to it is found in Loopy Pro's Help menu.
-===== Audio Levels Of Recorded Tracks Seems Too Loud =====
-If you are running Loopy Standalone and using your device's built-in mic and tracks play back much louder than you expect, take a look at the [[https://loopypro.com/manual/#echo-cancellation|Echo Cancellation settings]]. Echo cancellation is a handy feature for using the built-in mic and speakers without wearing headphones. It has the side effect of boosting the gain to account for a bug in Apple's Measurement Mode which is used for Echo Cancellation.
-To turn off Echo Cancellation, tap on the mic icon in the mixer to see the input options and turn off Echo Cancellation. If you don't plan on using the mic, you might even want to delete that channel from the mixer.
-===== Using a MIDI Monitor to Examine MIDI =====
-It is sometimes useful to be able to see the MIDI coming in from controllers or that is being sent from between plugins or widgets. A MIDI Monitoring AUv3 is very handy. [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streambyter/id1398712641|Streambyter]] is a free iOS MIDI-processing plugin that also has a MIDI monitor built-in. As a MIDI processor Streambyter might be intimidating, but the MIDI Monitor works well and can be used without knowing about StreamByter. Another excellent iOS AU Midi Monitor is the one included in the [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/midi-tools/id1446209019|MIDI Tools]] bundle.
-To use the MIDI Monitor:
-  * Display Loopy Pro's Mixer in extended view
-  * Tap the + sign to add a mixer channel
-  * Choose Add MIDI
-  * Choose the MIDI Monitor
-  * Choose Add MIDI to add your source device or Virtual MIDI (to spy on the traffic coming into Loopy Pro's virtual MIDI port)
-  * Tap on the + sign in the Destination cell for the device you want to monitor and choose the MIDI Monitor you used earlier.
-Open the MIDI Monitor's window and you can watch the MIDI traffic.
-**Streambyter Note**. If you are new to Streambyter, tap on the button with the magnifying glass icon to see its MIDI monitor.
-===== Morningstar (and other) MIDI Pedal Troubleshooting =====
-Some people are finding that they have troubles with MIDI Learn and MIDI Control using their footswitches. Some of these problems seem connected to messages that Loopy sends out (possibly to update status LEDs). If you find that your pedal is behaving strangely, you may want to see if your pedal has a setting to ignore incoming MIDI.
-NOTE: These issues seem likely to be resolved in a Loopy Pro update -- but these steps will be useful in the meantime.
-For the Morningstar pedals, use the pedal's global configuration menu to turn //Cross MIDI Thru// **Off** and //Ignore MIDI Clock// **On**.
