Audio Levels Of Recorded Tracks Seems Too Loud

If you are running Loopy Standalone and using your device's built-in mic and tracks play back much louder than you expect, take a look at the Echo Cancellation settings. Echo cancellation is a handy feature for using the built-in mic and speakers without wearing headphones. It has the side effect of boosting the gain to account for a bug in Apple's Measurement Mode which is used for Echo Cancellation.

To turn off Echo Cancellation, tap on the mic icon in the mixer to see the input options and turn off Echo Cancellation. If you don't plan on using the mic, you might even want to delete that channel from the mixer.

MIDI Controlled Effects Not Responding

If you have an AUv3 such as a sampler that responds to MIDI and which is not responding, you may need to turn off idling for that effect. Normally, Loopy puts effects that aren't receiving any audio input to sleep in order to free up CPU. This is called idling. To turn off idling, open the AUv3 window. Long-press on the label that says On, Off, or Idle and turn off Enable Idle Mode in the panel that pops up.

Loop Beginning Truncated or "Muted" or "Blurred"

Loopy Pro's default settings generally result in click-free loops. If your recordings have sharp transients at the very beginning of the loop, this can result in the transient being blurred. See the article Troubleshooting Transients
