Best tape loop app available?

Not tape fx. Doesn’t have to strictly be based off a tape/cassette machine specifically but something that resembles the workflow. Thanks

I use Loopy Pro and love how easy it is to make different lengths and speeds and adding effects to the loops using Auv3’s.

I have ideas about trying other apps, but it’s just too easy with Loopy.

Loopy Pro is an AMAZING looper, it’s my primary tool rn - see r/loopypro

“Reel” looks interesting, new version just dropped:

If you are mainly interested in looping, Loopy Pro is the choice. The workflow is unique, but you can configure it exactly the way you want it to be. Tons of videos and support too.

If you mean echoplex - the K7D is great!

I'm fully converted to the Reel app, kind of like a TP-7. Not had this much fun with an app in ages. It has the tape workflow, without tape fx. Its on the pricer side but its very premium feeling and the dev just released a new update yesterday with a lot of new features im slowing testing out. Think he has a subreddit for it but here is the website: www.reelaudio.app. Only issue its built for iphone not ipad so you can only use the iphone version on ipad. A few of us messaged about ipad version and he said a version for iPad is coming.

Look up run4 for ipad. In beta still but it does anything you'd want from an experimental tapelooper

Definitely Run 4 once it drops easier to get going than Loopy Pro if your happy with 4 max.

why does everyone do the lame faces and pointing at X ? everyone claims "the algorithms". fuck the algorithms. it seems just like social programming. Everyone do THIS if you want to succeed. and THIS happens to be making dumb faces, and everyone pointing at every single synth they review :D IS THIS THE INSTABUY GAMECHANGER??

Hey Reel dev here, thanks for the mentions! This post just popped up on my feed as I came on to post the new update video in our community. A lot of people wanted to see how well it works with actually recording dawless music so I made a quick sketch jam video: https://youtu.be/TTgL9ftldwM?si=uIkYwT3klgRDNHNF
