Background Rhythm loop/Grouping Loops
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2019 9:33 pm
I have just discovered Sooper Looper and it is awesome! Thanks to Jesse for creating it!
I want to use Sooper Looper for song based work. I want to be able to have separate loops for different song sections with different chords etc.
I note that this has been covered in other threads by soloing loops. However I would like to start off with a rhythm loop that keeps going in the background while I switch between the other soloed loops.
I initially mucked around with Loopback in MainStage. Synching was a nightmare, but Loopback allows loops to be grouped A,B,C etc or no grouping. Loops that aren't grouped will keep playing. Loops that are grouped will stop playing when the next group starts.
Is there a way to have a rhythm loop continue while other loops are soloed? Even better is there a way to group loops as per the Loopback example above?
My initial thought is that I might be able to achieve this by mapping mute commands to multiple tracks.
For example I might have four loops...
Loop 1 is my rhythm loop.
Loop 2 C chord
Loop 3 F Chord
Loop 4 G chord
I'm thinking I could map mute 3 and 4 if I want 1 and 2 to play. Mute 2 and 4 for 1 and 3 etc...
