How many people would like a tape looper in Audiomulch?

I would love to use LiveLooper live but tbh, I'm not a confident enough guitar/keyboard player to use one shot looping and a lot of my ambient output is done from building layers of sound up in a tape looper (at the moment either ambiloop or my POD 2.0 with delay set to infinite)

LiveLooper does what you want. Practice with it?

I don't think it does, LiveLooper only allows for 'one pass' recording (ie: it has a start and end, you can't add to the same loop) - not continual looping. I could be wrong but I'd be surprised as I emailed Ross about this a while ago and he understood what I was asking for and said it wasn't high up on the list - I'd can't imagine he misunderstands the capabilities of LiveLooper.

I'd love to be proved wrong though - please explain how to achieve what I'm after if I am.

i understand what u mean...now.
Wasnt sure at first, but a looper that could be added on top of, continual;ly is a cool idea.
Kind of like a Boss loop pedal thing, right?
Whereby u can keep applying licks/grooves/beats/sound on top of whats there from tthe last pass. This seems pretty straight up n cool. Has heaps of LIVE use and "idea drafting".
Currently Mulch doesnt allow this exact series of events to work as a tool, as such.
Atleast i dont believe it has this capability as of now.(?)

+1 from strunkdts!

Yup, that's it. I was playing around with a track last night using the stereodelay on an infinite delay setting and capturing bits of vocals - but the stereo delay only usually lasts for 1/2 a bar due to the restrictions on length. Would be fantastic to have something that could last for up to 5 or 6 seconds so that more complicated loops could be created.

I'm using Augustus Loop in Audiomulch (OS X 10.6.7), but some part of the GUI doesn't seem to react, for example I can't change the Max delay in the text field, I can change it but pressing Enter afterwards doesn't affect it.
I can do it in the standard view without GUI.

Is it something related to Audiomulch or Expert Sleepers?

It's working when I change it in Bidule.

update : I found the way to edit text and validate.
I need to press SHIFT + Enter.

If that can help somebody else..
