Re: Everyday Looper - A Looper for the iPhone/iPod Touch



Yes it looks like a great app.  Kudos on the well thought out UI for sure.

If it allowed queuing of the clips so that with a double tap I could
do a quantised switch from verse drum clip to verse drum fill clip to
chorus drum clip...well I'd probably buy an ipod for that!

Then I'd just have to figure out how to attach it to the carved top of
a Les Paul...
