A cleverly designed drum engine lets you change the tempo/BPM of each beat. Then reach the rhythm in the style that suits you best! ![]() You can filter the loops at whatever bpm, genre, and measure you want. Jam along your songs with real rhythm tracks instead of boring metronome sounds. You can set the tempo/BPM by tap the screen thanks to specially developed algorithms. You can use it with drums, guitar, piano, darbuka, percussion, violin, strings and many other musical instruments. You don’t pay any more than you normally would but we get a small fee from the seller.- Loopsic is designed for both amateurs and professionals. Consider buying one through the links below. If you don’t own a Boss RC30 or Boss RC3 looper yet and want to support our website. The cool thing about looping this way is also that it doesn’t matter when you start the recording as it will always loop round in your desired tempo. I normally copy it in the _2 folder so the first loop track is empty. ![]() Now connect your Boss RC30 or similar looper to your computer and copy the silent audio file in one of the empty looper slot folders. Make a silent audio file in the desired length Also, make sure ‘normalise’ is off! Give your file a name like OCTATRACK_LOOPSYNC_85BPM_4.WAV so you can instantly see what kind of file it is (85 bpm, 4 bars long). Make sure you bounce it as a stereo file otherwise the looper will not recognize the file. Now export this part in your prefered way. Go into the audio file and make the volume as low as possible. Select the length you want and copy that part to another track. The next step is deciding how long you want your loop to be: 1 bar, 4 bars, 8 bars? I normally end up making several lengths per tempo so I have them available if needed. The lined up last transient should look something like this Adjust the master tempoĪfter some trial and error, we get the transient sound as close to the grid as possible. So use that to make the end result more accurate. Ableton live normally only shows 2 digits after the dot, but it registers 3 digits after the dot. The next step is finding the tempo that makes the transient sound line up with the grid. The end of the audio clip needs to be lined up with the grid I found myself that the Octatrack has a pretty good internal clock and a Roland SP404SX clock is a lot less accurate. If you now check the end of your audio file you will probably see that the sound isn’t lined up with the grid like in the picture below. Set the tempo in your DAW to the tempo you had on your master clock device. This helps you get the most accurate results as some devices need a little bit of time to get their clock stable. Now set the start point of your audio file to any of the transient hits after the 5th one. Now click on your audio file and make sure ‘warp’ (ableton live) or any time stretching algorithm is ‘off’. This is what the recording should looks like in Ableton Live but you can use your DAW of choice for this part of the process. The result should look something like the picture below. ![]() Record this sound into your DAW for about 10 minutes. This makes it easier to see if you are at the right tempo in your DAW. But for other ones that don’t (Korg Kaoss Pad) you just choose a sound that has a nice transient like a snare drum. Some devices like the Electron Octatrack have a built-in metronome. Make your master clock device play a sound on every bar ( 1, 2, 3, 4) at your desired tempo.
