Session Recording
Session recording has two different ways of capturing a performance: audio or sequence recording. An audio recording captures the performance as audio files for the selected sources. A sequence recording captures the performance as events in the sequence timeline.
Record Audio
When you record a session as audio, the audio is captured to files in a uniquely named folder that ends “.lprecording”. Each session is recorded in its own folder. Loopy's project window let's you listen to a preview mix of session recordings. The actual files are accessible via Files app. They are found in the Loopy Pro folder.
Lossless Recording On/Off: By default, Loopy Pro saves session recordings as compressed (AAC/mp4) audio files. Turn Lossless Recording on to record uncompressed audio.
Capture options:
- Combined Inputs/Outputs - a stereo mix that captures all inputs and outputs to one file.
- Combined Outputs - the output to all external destinations as a stereo mix. If the mixer has output going to multiple channels, all the channels will be mixed together – included any destinations that share duplicate signals.
- Individual Outputs - the output of each mixer destination as a separate file
- Combined Inputs - each source's input is captured to a combined stereo mix.
- Individual Inputs - each individual source input saved to its own file. Hardware input, audio units and IAA apps are all sources.
- Individual Color Groups - each color group's output is saved to a separate file.
- Individual Buses - each bus channel's output is saved to a separate file.
Audio from loops and one-shots recorded during the session is included in the relevant output file, but the individual clips are not saved as individual files. A project's clips can be exported by separately if desired.
Record Sequence
The performance is recorded as events on the sequencer timeline.
