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.
Audio session recording can capture everything that passes through Loopy Pro's mixer including solos and other audio not contained in loops or one-shots. Sequencer recording creates a sequence of audio recorded or played into clips but doesn't capture audio that you don't record into clips.
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
Use this to capture clip-based performances. The performance is recorded as events on the sequencer timeline.
