Yep, I will make the recording possible soon.

Cool software Louigi,
Do you have plans to allow people to record into the loops live? And maybe a VST plugin version too?

Subject: Presenting yet another looping software: Tape Loops
From: louigi.verona@gmail.com
Hello guys!
I would like to present to you yet another looping software, but at the same time a new (old) approach to it.

http://www.louigiverona.ru/?page=projects&s=software&t=tapeloops

The software is called Tape Loops and basically what it can do is play a sound either looped or once. The app is very minimalistic and how it
works is you start up several instances of it - so each deck is independent - and then just play each of them, thus creating a live mix.
Tape Loops has a lot of interesting features, most notably Random Play function and clustering. It is possible to synchronize decks automatically
too.
What's good about this software is that it basically emulates the tape loops situation. You couldn't really synchronize them (only manually) and all
you could do was control the length of the loop (by using, say, two decks and one tape loop over them and placing the decks apart at the desired
distance), and of course, what to record on those loops.

At the same time, the app is very visual, so if you are performing, the audience can see exactly what you are doing. Each sound is represented by
a "deck", not just some built in mixer. Also, you have no limit to the amount of opened loops (but your computer memory).

Anyway, I do think that a lot of you might find this app interesting and useful.

Louigi Verona.

ps: I do plan to make a second version with one app and loops opening inside as small windows. it would allow for easy synchronization and many
other functions which are not technically possible in this implementation)
