I rebuilt my 2009 looper from scratch and I need help from beatboxers to test it

Hi everyone, Raphaël here, the developer of Everyday Looper :) !

Some of you might remember the original from the early App Store days (2009!). Over the years I kept getting messages from singers, beatboxers, and loop artists in general who never let go of it, and that convinced me to get back to work. So I've rebuilt it from the ground up for today's iPhones and iPads, and the beta is now open :D !

What's in this version:

  • 8 tracks you touch directly to mix, mute, merge, overdub, and more
  • Pretty decent echo cancellation, so you can actually loop through the speaker without headphones
  • Synced video capture of the take, straight from the app
  • Per track 10-level undo/redo, speed/reverse, and adaptive track lengths

The demo is by Ty Suite, a long-time Everyday Looper user. It was performed, recorded, and filmed entirely inside the beta on an iPhone, through the speaker, with no headphones.

You can test it here (free beta, iOS 17.7+):

I'd especially love feedback from beatboxers, since this isn't my area of expertise: what works, and what doesn't?

Happy to answer any questions here. Cheers !

How do you share rough harmony ideas before rehearsal?

For people arranging or singing in groups: how do you usually share rough harmony ideas before they become a real arrangement?

I'm thinking of the early messy stage where you just want the group to hear the shape of a stack, a background part, or a transition.

Do you send voice memos, quick guide tracks, notation, rehearsal recordings, or just wait until everyone is in the room?

Do any of you record little harmony stacks with your own voice when practicing?

Not necessarily polished productions, more like quick sketches to hear if a harmony, backing part, or call-and-response idea actually works.

I'm curious whether people find that useful for pitch/blend/tone/..., or if it tends to turn into a rabbit hole instead of singing practice.
