I wasn't going to snoop anymore until I actually got into PreSonus Sphere, but couldn't help myself. 🙄😆 

Been once again, reminded of why I was originally interested in an Acoustic/electric instrument - Live Looping! 

Really nice 5 String Violin & Live Looping performance, "Summer Particle", by 5 String Theory.

For me physically, not a great option to use pedals at the moment - so, brings me to ask, what is possible to do Live, without pedals in DAWs? 

Studio One 4 from PreSonus - The Amazing Power Of 'Live' Mode (Studio One Expert).

I'm close to getting what I want (Emily's Journey Down The E/V Road! Blog), but it's not by using DAW... not saying I won't get there - just not needing it for 'live looping', yet.  

I'm so grateful Alexey Kochetkov promotes the 5-string Violin!

aside from ableton.. daws arent really for live looping.  its not what theyre good at.  at least in general terms.  I know presonus and others have some looping features and its possible.  think it was version 4.5 introduced a show feature... but still not like a looper pedal setup.. they can loop though.. i use that to work on sections after recording something from youtube.   i make a track of a song i want to play to then loop it.  not what youre after though.  

gotta know the tools and what theyre. best used for and as youre discovering.. takes using them to find that out.

@ABitRusty -

Great points! 

I've considered the situations, locations & other reasons I might want to loop - hope I'm about done acquiring tools. 

Was only easy to rule out any 'dedicated' home playing/recording space - that ship sailed years ago... about the time grandkids entered the picture. 😊

yeah one size does not fit all on those subjects.   I tried abelton and looping type stuff.  Have a ditto guitar looper. just not what i was wanting to do.  I think youve got a setup now that will allow either!  Its been fun discussing over time. 😀

Besides my options of a physical looper pedal, I've spent more time looking at reasonable options for LIVE LOOPING using Windows/Android & will share a couple videos...

BUT, I also found some cool LIVE LOOPING stuff for macOS, iOS & iPadOS users!

I had been looking more into mapping midi controls with recorded sounds to loop with - when I ran across these! 

I'm a Windows/Android user, but if YOU are a Logic Pro DAW user, OR are thinking of becoming one - you'll be interested in THIS video about Live Loops.  It's included with Logic Pro & especially GREAT if you are interested in looping with yourself playing the violin/viola/cello, and... you don't want to deal with a looper pedal! 

<a href="

 

Loopy Pro looks like a ton of fun!  It's an app you can use with your iPhone or iPad for LIVE LOOPING your acoustic bowed string instrument!   

<a href="

It's also a DAW, sequencer, sampler AND loop station.  I like the screen graphics it uses.  I LOVE the idea of 'vocal effects' added to singing! 

THIS is something to consider that is MUCH less expensive than 'Logic Pro'

<a href="

 

🤔... I was originally thinking of running a vocal thru my Spark amp's effects, using a mic (just to experiment, but I don't have a mic yet) - maybe they will come up with something similar to Loopy Pro for ANDROID!  

LOOPIFY - LIVE LOOPER APP (for Android).  Doesn't have anywhere near the same bells & whistles, but it's FREE!
