Automatic loop detection doesn’t work and standard mode is late start and end

edited October 2021 in Loopy Pro Beta

turned off automatic loop detection. Fails often when I’m beatboxing. maybe also in other Szenarios.
With very clear rhythms it doesn’t get the endpoint. Cuts away very much from the end.

In standard mode the start point is too late and the endpoint early. in the picture I show tapping on the screen of my iPad mini 5. so the tap noise is recorded as you see, but the loop point is set behind that wave form of the tapping!

I didn’t make the test with midi controller. With loopy hD I used bop pad which is the fastest MIDI controller I could find. Will test that later.

Ah, is there maybe an ‚offset‘ value. that was what I wished for ages for loopers with slower midi controller (some need 20ms and more to send a signal). no developer got the point so far, but I believe in you, Michael ;–). When midi is too late the recording gets unprecise but now we have recording buffer before the loopstart, so an offset value could be set to correct slow midi controllers. THAT WOULD BE HEAVEN!!!! Finally precise looping!!!!

Hmm it gets even worse with my IXY lightning Microphone… (that’s the only one which I have right now in my car ;–). Waiting for my daughter to come back from math lessons ;–)

aha, no, it’s better with IXY I had to do a similar tempo and length of course…

    Would you mind sending me some of the failures? When it messes up, open the trim window and expand to the full audio (not just cropped to the perfect loop, but all the way to the bounds), then export and email to me? I'd like to dig into that.

    Interesting! I'll fix that.

    Easily done, I'll make a note

  • Oh, this should be better now, @mccy; I'd messed up the touch event timestamp handling.

    I'd still love to get some of the audio that trips up the auto loop detection.
