Would be incredibly useful to have this function.

Loop Re-Record until tap / Fixed Clip length for Loops
ultracello
For loops i would like to be able to record a loop, over and over again, until I got it played tight. Then I would touch the loop again and Loopie picks the last take. Maybe for this feature it would be necessary to add a fixed loop length per clip.

For example, after I have recorded 8x the same clip (yes, that’s 1x rec, 7x overdub), I want to play (e.g. randomly or certain preset patterns) a grid (1/8, 1/16 and so on) of all eight recordings. For organic natural and glitchy clips. Having this as automatically following action would be awesome. And I want to switch (on next clip cycle OR immediately) to one of the specific (in this case 8) records – ideally via MIDI assignable action button. Let's say I have a MIDI controller with 8x buttons. I switch button #6 and this will make play record 6 of the clip. Later I want to switch another MIDI controller button to switch back again for replay the previous played Comping version.
This is also related to "Comping".

What you are asking for is basically 'Comping'.

Can I just correct/clarify the terminology here. Comping means swapping between different takes during playback (eg take 5 started best and take 7 finished best, so select an edit point to swap playback mid clip). I would call what's been discussed so far 'take selection' (selecting the best entire take) to not confuse this with the more advanced concept of 'comping'...
Correct me if I'm wrong - if you're just going back on or two takes before the last one you recorded - in a lot of cases you could undo/redo back and forth through overdubs until you heard one of those takes playing back just right? If the undo redo button doesn't support this... is this the easiest thing to do - make an existing feature more robust?
