Loopback question

Hi Sam,

first off, I like the music and videos you make! Your video tutorial on SooperLooper, Mainstage and the FCB1010 got me started on looping so thanks for that!

I did switch to Zone Mobius (within Mainstage) though because SooperLooper was crashing too much (you know how to solve that)?

Anyway, I upgraded to Logic Studio 9 and would like to try out some looping with Loopback (I like not having to have an AU cover my Mainstage layout and also like the waveform). However, I can't seem to get the mapping right. Whenever I put Loopback in a slot on a channel strip I can't map my buttons to the controls. It only works when I put it on the instrument channel itself...

Would you be able to give a quick explanation/tutorial on setting up Mainstage with multiple instruments/patches and multiple instances of Loopback? That would be great!

Regards,

Hi Michel,
Thanks for the kind words! I've posted some videos which will show you some techniques for working with Loopback.
