How to append to a loop

des1303

I have a loop partly recorded with some empty space at the end. Is there a way to append (new recording) to it?

It's difficult to give a good answer without knowing what tools you have available. How did you record the loop in the first place?

GarageBand is free, and would also be an excellent way to do this. You just need to learn how to handle audio files in it. GarageBand is one of the easiest to use DAWs and is great for those just learning their way around music production.

You can also do it audio editor such as Neon Audio Editor.

[Edit: Note to self. Check the forum section before responding. Sorry, I now see the question was about Loopy Pro.]

You could overdub onto it if the length is right. You could also set the loop to play once and resample into a new loop whose length can be whatever you want it to be.

Is a loop not just a piece of audio, f.e. a WAV file?
And then played "as a loop" with some piece of software?

At least Loopy Pro seems to behave like this.

In this case, you would just need a way to append audio, which should be possible with every DAW or audio editor.

But maybe a loop is something different in this context 😅

That's what I was wondering. But then I thought maybe the loop needs to be a specify length/duration. Hence the question.

If you swipe up on the loop, and then tap extend, it will double the length of the loop, adding silence at the end. You can then use overdub to record into that new region
