I must be dense
I'm having a hard time starting this app, but please forgive my density. I normally have used the Boss Loopstation, which as a feature that lets you Auto Start the recording of the loop with the first "sound" it hears...is there a way to do this with Loopy? It starts recording as soon as I tap the circle. Also, there seems to be no "count in" sound at all when I'm recording. I think I'm missing something incredibly basic, but it's causing me all sorts of problems. Not even sure I'm asking this correctly! Gah!

Sorry to hear it's giving you trouble! Sounds like I should perhaps tweak the tutorial to explain that part a bit better.
Firstly: No, Loopy doesn't have a sound-threshold-based auto-start feature yet, although it's on my radar.
Second, it does indeed have a count-in function, but it counts in one loop-length, which it won't know until you set the tempo/loop length. So, if you set a tempo, either by tapping it out, sliding the tempo slider, or recording a 'tempo' loop, the next time you tap a track, it'll count in up to the start of the next loop.
Finally: There's no sound associated with a count-in specifically, but if you want to hear a metronome, you can turn that on.
Good luck!
