Description
This feature request proposes the addition of a field in Loopy Pro's clip details and import windows that allows users to specify the musical length of a clip in bars and beats. The goal is to enable Loopy Pro to calculate the original tempo of the clip based on this information, facilitating more accurate tempo matching and synchronization.
Problems
- Inaccurate Tempo Detection: When importing pre-made audio content, especially loops that are not standard 2 or 4 bar segments in 4/4 time, Loopy Pro's automatic tempo detection may not always yield accurate results.
- Manual Adjustments Required: Users often need to manually adjust the tempo to fit the clip, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming, particularly when the clip's length in bars and beats is already known.
- Workflow Inefficiency: The lack of a direct method to input known musical lengths leads to a less efficient workflow, especially for users working with a large number of pre-made loops.
Proposed Solution
- Add Length Input Field: Introduce a field in the clip details and import windows where users can enter the clip's length in bars and beats.
- Automatic Tempo Calculation: Utilize the provided length information to calculate the original tempo of the clip, ensuring accurate synchronization with the project's tempo.
- Enhanced Import Functionality: Improve the import process by allowing users to specify musical length upfront, reducing the need for manual tempo adjustments post-import.
Benefits
- Improved Accuracy: Ensures more precise tempo matching for imported clips, enhancing the overall musical coherence of projects.
- Streamlined Workflow: Reduces the need for manual tempo adjustments, saving time and effort during the import process.
- User Convenience: Provides a straightforward method for users to input known musical information, aligning with their existing knowledge and resources.

Yes please - seems very clunky to adjust the tempo to fit if auto detection doesn't work and you already know the length of the clip. Particularly useful for dragging and dropping pre-made audio content especially if it isn't standard 2 or 4 bar loops of 4/4 material.
