Loopy/AUM Integration - Great Live Looping Setup
For those that love AUM and want a multitrack looping setup, the combination of AUM, Loopy (and/or Loopy HD) and Audiobus 3 are a potent combination. While some people balk at a non-AU solution, this combination has a lot to offer and (especially if you are working with multiple co-ordinated loops and want to automatically move from recording one loop to the next) has some advantages over using AU solutions.
Pros:
- Loopy is one of the most stable and feature-rich apps out there.
- Up to 12 loops
- sophisticated (yet easy to set-up) MIDI control of all looping for those that want MIDI control
- easy access (via the AB3 palette) of the loop multiples
- You can also do this with just AB3 and Loopy HD – I mention AUM because it is a (deservedly) much loved environment into which this can be incorporated.
This article is a work-in-progress.

Walk-through
Here are some screen caps with notes. It is all very simple once you are set up. The AB3 palette lets you do just about everything without needing to leave AUM. You can set loop lengths. Loop record. The loop recording starts at beginning of a cycle on the next empty track. So repeatedly recording lets you create multiple loops without switching apps.
