Description:
Allow the macOS version of Loopy Pro to automatically select a USB audio interface when connected, with the ability to override the current interface and prevent unwanted channels (e.g., internal microphones) from being used.
Problem:
Currently, users must manually select the audio interface in Loopy Pro, which can be cumbersome when connecting and switching between multiple devices. Additionally, there is no easy way to prevent certain channels (such as internal microphones) from being selected, leading to potential issues during live performances or recordings.
Proposed Solution:
  • Automatically detect and select the connected USB audio interface upon launch or when a new device is plugged in
  • Provide an option for users to specify which interface(s) should override the current one and automatically select them
  • Allow users to blacklist specific audio channels (e.g., internal microphones) from ever being used, ensuring that only the desired inputs are selected
  • Include a manual override option for users who want to select the interface or channel manually at any time
  • Ensure seamless integration with macOS’s audio system and other compatible DAWs or applications
Benefits:
  • Simplifies the process of selecting the correct audio interface for users, particularly in live performance or multi-device setups
  • Prevents accidental use of unwanted channels, such as internal microphones or system sounds
  • Enhances workflow speed and reliability by automating device selection
  • Improves the user experience for macOS users who rely on external USB audio interfaces
