   - Load an instrument or audio input that you want to record into the input of an AUM channel.
   - Load Loopy Pro as an FX in this channel. The sound from the input app is what you'll be recording. The app will normally open with some number of empty loops. If it doesn't, tap the folder icon and then New Project.
-  - Long-press the edit icon (the "pen" at the upper right-hand corner), then Settings, and finally Track Settings. ((Track Settings here are the global defaults for individual tracks (loops).))
+  - Long-press the edit icon (the "cog" at the upper right-hand corner), then Settings, and finally Track Settings. ((Track Settings here are the global defaults for individual tracks (loops).))
     * Scroll down to Loop Audio Threshold Recording and turn it on. This will set Loopy to wait for audio input to start recording the loop. The threshold can be adjusted if needed.
     * Turn Auto Loop Detection on. Leave Auto-End Detected Loop off for now. ((Auto-End detection is for when you already know how many bars you will be playing. It will cause recording to stop at the number of bars you set under the tempo settings in the main looping screen.))
     * Check that Wait for Playback is turned off.
   - Backtrack out of Track Settings, then close Settings to get back to the main screen.
-  - One last thing: Tap the tempo setting next to the pen icon. By default the tempo slider will say "External". We don't want this because we don't know the tempo we're going to play yet. So, tap the gear icon, then Synchronization. Turn off Host Sync, and optionally turn on Ableton Link. Turning on Link will automatically cause AUM to set it's tempo to match Loopy once our loop is set! (if AUM also has Link turned on)

+    * Choosing a proper range for the estimated bpm of the loop here will improve loop detection. You can tap on the numbers and use the keyboard for input.
   - When you're ready to record, tap the **first loop**. It should turn orange and be waiting for you to begin playing.
     * If the loop starts recording too soon you may need to adjust the threshold settings.
