Description:
Allow Loopy Pro to use the internal microphones of iOS devices (e.g., top and front mics) as a stereo input source, enabling true stereo recording directly from the device without needing external hardware.
Problem:
  • Currently, Loopy Pro does not offer stereo input from built-in microphones, even though other apps (e.g. AUM by Kymatica) can access and utilize them.
  • Users are limited to mono recordings, which restricts spatial realism and depth in acoustic recordings or field sampling.
  • This creates a disparity between Loopy Pro and other iOS apps that offer advanced input routing.
Proposed Solution:
  • Add support for stereo mic configuration using available internal microphone channels (e.g., front = Left, top = Right).
  • Make stereo input available as an input option in the routing matrix and Audio Input Devices menu.
  • Clearly label internal mic channels so users can assign or disable individual sides as needed.
Benefits:
  • Unlocks the full potential of iOS devices for stereo field recording and live looping.
  • Enables immersive soundscapes, realistic instrument capture, and spatial stereo effects.
  • Eliminates the need for external stereo mic hardware in many situations.
Examples:
  • Record a stereo loop with natural room ambiance using only the iPad/iPhone’s built-in mics.
  • Use stereo mic input for voice layering or binaural field recordings.
  • Combine with panning and spatial FX in Loopy Pro’s mixer for dynamic performance setups.

In other apps, it is possible to create stereo recordings using the front and top microphones. Please enable this capability.
