Saving and export

What a saved project contains, and how to take your loops into a DAW.

Loopylicious is the start of a track, not the end of it. When you save, it writes everything out as plain files you can pick up anywhere.

What a project contains

Saving a project produces a folder with:

  • one WAV file per track (the recorded loop audio),
  • one MIDI file per track that captured any MIDI (your played notes and the drum hits), and
  • a small metadata file describing the project: sample rate, the tempo and bar count if you tagged it, and each track's settings.

If you tagged the tempo (see Tracks and mixing), the MIDI files carry the right tempo and time signature, so they drop into a DAW already in time.

Moving a project around

A whole project can be bundled into a single .zip file, which makes it easy to back up or carry between devices, and imported back into Loopylicious later.

Into your DAW

Because everything is just WAV and MIDI, you can drag the files straight into any DAW to keep building. That is the whole "Loop now, DAW later" idea: capture the moment in Loopylicious, then finish wherever you like.

Pre-configured project files for popular DAWs, so a session opens with your tracks already laid out, are planned.
