Enso Looper App Description & Overview

What is enso looper app? *** PLEASE READ ****
Enso is an AudioUnit V3 plugin; it requires an AUv3 host like Cubasis, Garageband, AUM, etc. THERE IS NO STANDALONE APP; it is only a container for the AUv3.

An architecturally unique and sonically characterful looping toolkit for producers and live performers, inspired by both modern looper pedals and vintage tape-based setups, Enso combines elegant and intuitive UI design with a deep but accessible feature set and stellar sound quality.

Enso’s operation will be immediately familiar to users of hardware looper pedals or plugins such as Ableton Live’s bundled Looper. Start playback of the host DAW, hit Enso’s record button and capture your instrumental performance into a loop of whatever length you like, up to ten minutes (five minutes on iOS). Then, without stopping playback, overdub further passes to create layered grooves, complex harmonic textures, or dense, evolving soundscapes.

Beyond those basics, though, Enso takes software looping into new territory. Two Overdub modes configure the plugin for conventional looper pedal behaviour or Frippertronics-style ‘dual tape deck’ manoeuvres, affecting the handling of the Feedback parameter for an endless range of layering possibilities; and up to four Sectors can be effortlessly defined, each with its own start and end points, for on-the-fly rearrangement of the loop.

With Enso, time and motion become truly fluid, as speed and direction are handled completely independently for playback and recording, the ‘through-zero’ bipolar Speed controls smoothly transitioning from forwards to backwards, and vice versa, in real time. Want to record forwards at half speed, while simultaneously playing the buffered loop in reverse at 1.25x? Of course you do…

Onboard tape-style saturation, filtering and chorus effects bring dirt, frequency-shaping and stereo thickening to the party; and a comprehensive MIDI assignment system makes it a snap to set your MIDI pedal or button controller up for operation of all Enso’s buttons and switches. With its animated play and record heads, meanwhile, the looping waveform display provides a clean, clear visual representation of the potentially mind-bending temporal acrobatics taking place, letting you get a handle on exactly what’s happening at a glance.

Giving you everything you need for limitlessly creative looping, on stage and in the studio, Enso is one of Audio Damage’s most beautifully realized plugins yet, and an empowering addition to any musician’s arsenal of effects

Not Detected in GarageBand 🤷🏻‍♂️. This does nothing. It’s not detected in GarageBand and other AUs work fine.

Cannot open in AUM. I was excited to purchase and use this app. I look forward to it actually working in my DAW of choice, AUM.

Garbage app. Bought the app because it said it worked in GarageBand....it doesn’t. Terrible app, do not recommend. The apps certainly a scam!

Excellent. This effects app is excellent and has so many uses aside from simply looping. It’s also very sad to see how many bad reviews that here from people who simply don’t understand how auv3 effects work.

Crap. I bought this app an it just shows the logo.. no looping , just logo.. can’t even get a refund.. rip off... what’s up with that

App does not even open on an iPhone XR. I just bought this app and installed it. But the app does not even work on a brand new iPhone. It does not even open.

Crash. Using this in AUM and it keeps crashing. I want to really like it, but the constant crashing is making this unusable.

SO CLOSE TO PERFECT. I can already tell this app is going to completely change how music is made in iOS. The speed you can get loops down is amazing and the design is totally intuitive. However, the app desperately needs a way to render loops as uncompressed audio files that can be sorted into AudioShare. I cannot tell you the number of times these past few weeks where 6 instances of ENSO all crashed and I lost my recordings forever. Being able to load pre-existing loops into ENSO would be a godsend as well. An ability to save INIT setups for ENSO so it could automatically load with specific bar lengths and loop settings would also be nice. Overall, a fantastic app but needs serious methods for saving and routing audio loops in case the instance is corrupted (happens very often). Edit: ENSO is NOT stable when connecting AUM to AudioShare. If an ENSO instance is set to record as you route audio into AudioShare it WILL crash. And you will lose EVERY ENSO instance in your project. This is a major bug that must be fixed as soon as possible. Do not rely on this plugin for any live performances.

Great possibilities but it does not work. Opens fine in AUM, Cubasis, Auria pro, and through Audiobus. Signal comes in, but any of the buttons work. I cannot activate any recording nor obviously playback. I am using an iPad Pro 12.9 with an Apogee One or IRig duo. Very disappointing

Waste of time. The app doesn’t work. It doesn’t connect to Garage Band and it doesn’t go past the initial message that says “please read carefully”

Inspiring looper playground.. Absolutely amazing , creative looper that can be adjusted to match many workflows. Like many high end plug ins, to get the most out of the looper it may take a few YouTube tutorials but is pretty easy to just start getting lost in loops. This is one of those apps I can easily get lost creating a field of random gestural sounds that can later be further processed and sampled. Love the ability to change both the record direction, play direction, speed, fade etc. I can’t believe I can take this with me in my pocket or on the iPad. Insane.

How do I use it in GarageBand?. Opened GarageBand to use it as an Audio Unit Extension, it's not there. I go online to try and use it on my computer, costs $80. If ANYONE can tell me how to use it, I'm sure I could actually enjoy the app.

Love audio damage but this app needs an update. I want to love this looper so bad. I have tried so00oOO many times (iPad Pro 2010 & now M2) to give it another shot but there is always something off with it. I saved presets (with audio buffer) to reopen sessions later and the timing is off after playing a while??? The worst is when you finally get a good take but it crashes before you can save it and ALL IS LOST!?! I guess this isn’t made for what I’m using it for and need to repurpose it somewhere else. Hopefully some bugs get worked out and I can go back to using it..

Dream looper for AUM. This is probably the most fully featured looper that I’ve used. Now I can just place ENSO on any channel and loop everything. Best part is that I can use the looper to “freeze” the tracks and free up so much cpu on my old iPad.

Just got robbed 5 bucks. Ok purchased, tried to open and nothing happens. Am I missing something?

Guess I don’t have need of one.. Since I create ambient music and sound scapes I thought getting this app was a no brainer. But, even though it seems plenty versatile, at the current stage of my music development I can’t find any real use for it. I’ll leave it on my bag of tricks though in case I have an epiphany or something.

Enso update adds stability that was much needed, thanks!. This app is now fantastic! I saw potential for it over a year ago, but it was not stable enough to use for my setup at that time. Running Enso in Aum, I was able to load as many instances as my iPad Pro could handle. Today, I was deliberately trying to make Enso crash, but I was able to load 6 instances of Continua each recording into 4 of Enso (24 instances of Enso total.) Previously if I loaded more than a 2-3 instances of Enso, they would all crash and I would lose everything I had recorded. Bravo Audio Damage, now this app is in my opinion, the most useful app for looping on iOS.

Amazing. Spend 5 mins reading the manual. It’s short, concise and will pay huge dividends. You will have this thing humming in no time (within 30 mins you’ll pretty much have it down). I say this because I put this gem aside when I wasn’t able to just pick it up and hammer out a masterpiece on day 1. Still don’t have the masterpiece but I do have a lot of fun with this thing! 5 stars for bringing a new workflow to this iOS universe. Beautifully executed

Got some problems over here.. I downloaded the app - but neither AUM or GarageBand recognize the app as an audiounit. Haven’t been able to use it at all.

Doesn’t work. Would like my money back

Stuck on splash screen. Was trying out looping apps, this seemed promising but I've restarted & reinstalled, I only get a frozen splash screen.

Abandoned app!, developer refuses to update it! Crashes ALL the time. Beware! this is an abandoned app as their developers refuse to update it after almost 3 years since released! it lacks the basic functions of any looper which are Undo and Redo!, on my M1 iPad on iOS 16 this crashes a lot and developers do not respond to any email for support and they refuse to refund my money!, the app had a lot of potential but it’s super buggy, get any other looper app and avoid this one!

Where is AUV3. Downloaded and only see it as an IAA plugin, no AUV3 to be found

Perfect for reducing CPU usage in AUM. I was looking for a low-friction way to record a couple of bars from a synth in AUM and bounce it to audio without ruining my AUM flow. This app achieves that goal. Just load it up as an effect, set # of measures you’d like it to record, and once it’s done you can remove the synth that was supplying the audio. Make sure to watch AudioDamage’s YouTube tutorial on how to use Enso - some things weren’t intuitive for beginners! After watching the video, I appreciate how powerful this thing is. It does a lot for the price. Update: It looks like this plugin doesn’t work as intended inside of NanoStudio 2. Hard to tell if it’s the plugin’s fault or the DAW itself. Either way, docked a star for it, it’s the one thing preventing this from being the perfect audio looper for me on iOS

Midi crashes and no support. Ive tried this looper on both my ipad 8 and iphone xr in Audio Bus 3 and on both devices Im getting instant crashes when I try to control it via midi. I tried emailing support twice starting in late June and haven’t received a response from them. If you don’t need to control it via midi its great. Unfortunately I need to be able to control the app in the background. Without midi control the app is unusable for me.

Great looper, but some wonky behavior.... Chiefly that for some reason, at least when loaded in AUM, if you have it on a send channel (or even just as an insert effect), even if you pull the channel fader all the way down, you can still hear the loop playing. I’m not sure if it’s an aum issue or Enso, but I’ve never experienced this with anything else before. Please fix and this would be 5 stars, cause its otherwise great.

Runs loops around other maps. Now I can’t ask what you’re using on your instagram videos. Bummer. Ace app btw, mate.

Where is it?. The app does not appear in GarageBand in the “External” app list. Enso tells me it’s installed but I don’t see it. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong and I can’t find any documentation at AudioDamage. Do I need another app to link them together?

Perfect. My title says it all. This comment is for the devs. Dear Audio Damage, please make a stand alone version of this, with perhaps four separate loopers. I’d buy that in a heartbeat. Great job!

The desktop version has moved to iOS!. Highly recommended, very deep, innovative developer.

An unbelievable looper. Auv3 and a great layout make this perfect for multi app use. I rock an iPad 4 so it’s old but can loop and use AUM with a few apps well. I know loopers are cpu heavy, so I hope they keep it optimized for us oldies (and iPhone 7). The options are great and every option from ambient to Keller Williams style looping this is ace. I do think they could make more colors coded buttons or bigger loop on loop overdub but it’s cool. I guess with midi mapping I can make those on a synth too ehh, sweet. Thanks for really looking into what loopers want you have done well so cheers yawl!

Awesome. Could be used more than just looping. This is a very necessary tool for music production. It is very well designed. It’s main function is for looping but with 5 minutes of record time it could be used to quickly overdub existing recordings without having to switch apps or create projects and extra bounces in your DAW of choice. That comes in handy. My main wish for the developer is to please make a MIDI version of this app with similar features and intuitive design. An Undo button could be very helpful if possible mainly as a failsafe for accidental clears on iOS. Thank you.

Fake app. This app does not do anything on an iPhone XS. I’d like my money back and this app removed from the store!

Won’t load inside AUM. So it stopped loading in AUM. It says to reload the app but there is no app.

Doesn’t open. I download the application. I click on the icon. The welcome screen comes on and then never goes anywhere.

This is it.. Hands-down the best looper on this or any platform.

All I get is a PLEASE READ CAREFULLY SCREEN. App doesn’t actually open.. So, big waste of money? On iPhone 12 Pro Max and all I get when I open the app is a stupid “PLEASE READ CAREFULLY” message without the app opening up. And my garage band app doesn’t see it, so what gives? What do I need to do to get this to work?

Dope looper. Would be dope to see it fleshed out as standalone app as well

How the heck do I use this?. I purchased it and when I try and use it in GarageBand it’s not there. If I open it directly it just takes me to the YouTube video and the pdf manual. How do I use it?

Good bye Audio Damage. I liked this app, even though I rarely use it. My problem is the excuse of blaming negative customer reviews for price increases. That’s a really poor way to do business. It also displays ignorance of how the market works. Good bye Audio Damage.

Enso Stopped Functioning???…. What’s the deal with this app?… It totally Stopped loading….Has the Developer Stopped All Support???…..

doesnt even show up in garageband. waste of money doesnt show up anywhere

Where’s my extension!?. I don’t see it in GarageBand, with all the other purchased extensions/instruments… Where is it? I have the 2020 iPad Pro… Ridiculous!

Tapesloopso. Rack effect in your favorite auV3 host and jam along with your mad self, backwards even. Great app from one of the best developers in pro audio, cheers!

Don’t buy this app it’s non functional at the moment. I purchased this app and tried to use it on an iPhone 7, X, and a iPad 6th gen, and it doesn’t work at all on any of the devices. It just sits on the title screen. Also still waiting on a refund. I’d rate it -10, but that’s not an option.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Doug Woods sold me on this!

APP IS NOT WORKING OR SHOWING IN DAWS. I just purchased this app because of the reviews. When I start app it just says app is installed and ready to use with AU3 compatible DAWs like garage band. Well garage band doesn’t even see it and I have many other apps that are showing in GarageBand. Please fix this for me... or im going to do whatever it takes to get my money back from you.

Enso is a fantastic (even more) live performance looper after this update! MUST HAVE.. Enso has had a rough start as it is a brilliant app but at the beginning of its journey on iOS it lacked a few key features for mobile performance (mostly quantization stuff, if you had the right gear or setup or workflow, it didn’t matter... but for many of us it was a brilliant tool but cumbersome at best). Now that this has been addressed, there’s suddenly a Looper on iOS that is extremely different to the alternatives and therefore a must have due to its now amazing practicality of use. The cross fading between sections is an amazing feature on Enso and allows your to either have different loops running per sector (with adjustable lengths) or a single loop with a huge cross fade time which will yield amazing ambience results when transitioning to one sector to the other. There is effectively now on iOS a broader choice of Loopers on AUv3 format, which to me honestly meant I hadn’t used Enso since like a few months after it’s release. Now I am thinking I will be using it a lot since my other favorite looper (Audiokit Looper) is amazing but far more robust and cpu heavy since it aims at becoming a full “daw-less” loop station. Both apps are amazing but thanks to Enso’s new update I can now say there is not much of a comparison since they both serve very different purposes. TH-U has a decent looper too and it’s a free app, therefore Enso was updated at the right time as otherwise it would have been simply not a good alternative considering TH-Us is free. However, since not only is Enso far better, but also has the whole sector thing going, it is really a unique looper now that quantization works as expected and therefore a unique tool on iOS every looper-oriented musician should try. I am sure I will be using it a lot now Audio Damage, thank you so much for this, you have really not disappointed at all. As a personal note, I would probably still very much prefer if Trigger was also quantized regardless... it is a fantastic app and in all honesty this probably is for the better as it means you ALWAYS can trigger a function without quantization. It can be useful, just not too much for me (for now, however the cross section fading might lead to me using this more for ambience stuff so who knows). This is definitely a must buy in my opinion, if you want a good looper this is a fantastic alternative. In comparison to Audiokit which aims at being a DAWless looper, you can load several instances of this meaning it can be far more versatile in many regards. I would buy both if you can afford them, and if you can’t... I think it comes down to how you want to loop. Look up some videos to see what you prefer, but you can’t go wrong with Enso or Audiokit anyway. Audio Damage, I have heard the reason behind not bringing Quanta to iPhone and I completely understand it. That being said, if that ever happened I’m sure many of us Quanta owners would be very happy about it. Thank you so much for your fantastic work as a developer and I cannot wait to see what else you’ve got on the works for us! ⚡️👌🏼

Bravo. Another wonderful instrument/tool from AudioDamage. Clear, intuitive interface. Unique looping functionality. This thing is deep. Keep up the great work.

No competition no complaints.. Getting this app will give your iOS device super looper powers of devices many times its cost in the real world. A great value and great sound.

Incredible. Amazingly well designed and conceived.....intuitive and creative to use. I Have been using in performance for well over a year and can’t speak high enough gratitude, such a wonderful app, amazing price for what it does too.

Worth it. As the list of auv3 apps continues to grow for iOS. There are a few standouts. This app is one. Just get it you won’t regret it.

Amazing creative tool. As a longtime user of the EHX Hazarai looper and a recent convert to the Red Panda Tensor, “creative” looping is a major part of my workflow. Enso is amazingly powerful and once you get a hang of the workflow it opens up a TON of oddball possibilities. Stability seems to suffer even with one instance in GarageBand or when you get multiple instances running in AUM or Audiobus, but if you only run one instance in a reliable host it’s an amazing piece of kit for an unbeatable price.

This audio unit won’t load inside host. I have a 2018 iPad Pro. For some reason, this audio isn’t detected inside Cubasis 2, GarageBand, Audiobus, or BeatMaker 3. I’ve tried restarting the apps and the iPad itself. Am I missing something ? I have Quanta as well, and it works fine.

Doesn’t work with garage band. Doesn’t register as an audio unit extension in GarageBand. Very disappointed, doesn’t work at all.

It’s great. Pretty cool. Seriously though, who uses GarageBand lol

I wanted to love this thing but…. There is a serious bug with this thing that caused me to give up on it entirely, and that is this horribly intrusive audio popping/clicking, either when using the Sectors tool to switch between sectors within a loop, or switching between FWD and REV playback modes within the same sector. I was initially hopeful that using x-fades between sectors might resolve the issue, but that was only a partial success. To be honest, I’m scratching my head trying to understand how a glitch this bad could escape the attention of the developers before commercializing the product. In all other respects, Enzo *looks* like a great tool, but looks alone are not enough; the audio quality needs to be top-notch as well, and in my experience, it isn’t with this app. I was also disappointed that a week after sending a tech support query to the developer, they have not responded. I would not recommend Enso to a friend.

Works with Garageband (but you need to insert it properly). Been reading a lot of previous reviews on this but I have to say that it WORKS with Garageband. Except this isn’t an AUv3 instrument. Apps like this are NOT added from the AUv3 menu. They are similar to 3rd Party Effects. You need to select an existing audio or instrument track (or add a new one), go to “Plugins and EQ” - which is where you add effects like reverb, and EQ, tap Edit, then look for “Audio Unit Extensions”. Enso will be listed there.

Does not work with GarageBand or BeatMaker 3. I don’t have AUM but this plugin only seems to work with it... Tried GarageBand, BeatMaker 3 and Cubasis LE but it does not show up on the list of AU v3 available... very disappointed.

Brilliant looper. If you like looping frippertronic style, this is it. Go check the demo walkthrough on the website for a full explanation of everything enso does.

Won’t load in GarageBand. The unit won’t load in GarageBand, can’t seem to find any info about this.
