Description:
Introduce an optional echo cancellation feature in Loopy Pro to reduce feedback and echo when using external speakers and microphones in the same environment.
Problem:
When using Loopy Pro with external audio gear (e.g. microphones routed through Loopy and output via speakers), feedback and echo artifacts are common, especially in live or rehearsal settings. Currently, users have to manage this manually with gain staging, mic placement, or external hardware/software — which is not always practical or effective.
Proposed Solution:
Add a built-in echo cancellation option that:
  • Actively analyzes the output signal and suppresses its re-entry via the input
  • Works similarly to echo cancellation in video conferencing apps, but optimized for musical use
  • Can be enabled per input channel or globally
  • Includes adjustable parameters for fine-tuning (e.g. cancellation strength, latency tolerance)
Benefits:
  • Reduces risk of feedback in live performance or rehearsal setups
  • Makes it easier to use Loopy Pro with open speakers and microphones
  • Enhances experience for vocalists, acoustic instrumentalists, and loop-based performers without needing in-ear monitoring
  • Lowers technical barrier for mobile setups in public or small room environments
Examples:
  • Singing live into a mic with Loopy Pro effects and output through nearby PA speakers
  • Looping acoustic instruments without headphones in a controlled feedback-safe setup
  • Using Loopy Pro in classroom or workshop settings with ambient mics and speakers
