to my disappointment the looper works only as a standalone.
In addition to that, not only the integration of the looper to the DAW is insufficient, but the internal integration between the looper and the AT4 recorder/mixer is lacking.
I couldn't believe that, but the manual gives the same picture. Can this be true: to this doesn't make any sense. Most typical case when I need the guitar looper is when I practice or test different versions of the guitar part.
To do that you need some part of the arrangement playing back, minumum the drum track.
How to do that with the AT4. You don't. Yes, you can import the (backing) file to the AT4 standalone, but you can't set the imported file to the looper. Why can't you import the file to the first slot of the looper?
And even worse: the imported file goes directly to the AT4 recorder, and you can play it there, but you can't use the looper at the same time when you are listening the backing track.
I can't understand the IK's logic here: they have created the looper, great. But they have implemented in a way which limits is use, to about 10 % where I need it, when working with songs.
Have I missed something? You can export files from the AT4, too, but what to export, when all the integration between the looper and your DAW song arrangent is eliminated?
