Show HN: Make audio loops online

https://makeloops.online/
66•bilalba•2d ago
I created a small webapp, to create simple audio loops online. A bit rough around the edges but gets you started in less than 10 seconds on creating loops.

Comments

antback•1d ago
It looks great. A couple of features that would make it truly useful are currently missing:

- Save/Load and Import/Export functionality.

- The ability to edit loops after they have been added.

Thanks for sharing.

bilalba•1d ago
Thank you for checking it out and really appreciate the feedback! I'll be on it.
handfuloflight•1d ago
Very fun. Needs an educational mode.
bilalba•21h ago
Thank you, I'll work on it!
treavorpasan•1d ago
Love it, I got no musical background. But got me hooked.
bilalba•21h ago
Love to hear it!
fassssst•23h ago
It’s a bit low effort. If you like this kind of thing I’d suggest

https://roland50.studio/

bilalba•21h ago
Yes I agree, it is currently a side-project that is 2 days old! Also brilliant suggestion, played with it and really liked it!
oliwary•18h ago
Fun! Well done.

I created a loop in the drum mode, and then wanted to add a melodic track to it, so I clicked the melodic button. This erased my drum pattern instead - would be good if they could play over each other, and would not be erased by switching.

bilalba•18h ago
Yes I understand what you're saying! I'll fix this.

Edit: Fixed!

junon•16h ago
Seems you can only have one drum and one melody track, can't add a new one? When I try it stops playing the other tracks.
bilalba•16h ago
You have to add them to the Looper with the "Add to the Looper" button. I need to think of a better UX for that. Let me know if you have ideas!
richrichardsson•16h ago
Minor bug:

if you manage to Mute a synth part between the note on and note off events it will continually sound until pressing stop, even if un-muting that part.

bilalba•16h ago
Yup I've noticed that. I'll try to fix it.

I tap the stop button again to make it stop.

mettamage•16h ago
I created this pattern.

I wish it was shareable but couldn't find the share feature.

Perhaps fun fact: I uploaded the screenshot into Gemini and asked it to transform it into ASCII. Claude made a less pretty one.
bilalba•16h ago
Yup I'm thinking of ways to make it shareable. This is a client-side static website(runs completely on your end) so won't be able to make backend-supported links.

Edit: Implemented!

Love it! I've been planning to learn music. This pushed me further.
saaaaaam•14h ago
This is great! Really intuitive and clean.

It would be nice if when you add a note in the “melodic” set it played it as you add it, rather than having to add them then preview the loop.

bilalba•14h ago
That's a good feature request. Implemented!
