Loop Master Musicians Tool

Loop sections of a song to learn tunes and practice solos.

Loop Master is a great tool for musicians learning tunes and licks. It allows you to select start and end points in a song and will loop between the two points. It is especially useful when used with a DSP plugin that can change the tempo and pitch such as Pacemaker.

Staff review

You pick the beginning, you pick the end, loop and listen away. If you want to relisten to a certain section of a song, this plugin can come in very handy. You can even move the section you selected after it's selected. Guitar players enjoy.

Fills a needed void as a plugin, and it works. Other than that, there are a lot of issues: having to quit and restart winamp to use it, an ugly crowded interface, and it no longer seems to work with the current version of winamp (even uninstalling and re-installing). I totally agree that A-B repeat should be a core feature--it is on my linux player... - March 1, 2011 by hazysonic

Great tool, poor execution - I like that this plugin actually seeks to the time entered, and not the closest two-second mark, as I have seen. However, I'm disappointed in the low resolution of the stepping buttons and the lack of actual text input boxes. Also, I'm pretty well pissed that I have to restart Winamp if I want the plugin window to go away or come back. It's a good plugin, but in a lot of ways it's absolutely dense. Also, you might want to update the screenshot - you've added some features since it was taken. - September 1, 2006 by dirk deftly

ALL old CD players called this "A - B repeat" - I've been looking for such a plugin for years, but would never even look at anything referring to "loops". Them's just for the worst sequencers ... Never finding such a tool for mp3's, but having A-B Repeat on one of my CD players, I've burned the mp3 to wave ... and burned it so I could study those fast passages:-( Now I have the tool for mp3s. Thanks. I guess I'll have to rip commercial CDs to be able to A-B Repeat when my old CD player finally dies. None of the new ones seem to have this feature anymore. - January 7, 2005 by Bob Zawalski

This thing is GREAT!! - A guitarists must have. I actually took the time to log in, because I wanted to thank the guy who wrote this. This is perfection!!! Use this with pacemaker...and you have your perfect tool to learn complex solos with. A very nice job!!! Thanks - October 29, 2003 by M M

Good but it could be better - I like it alot, the program works great. But I wish it could be i DSP not a general purpose. It would just make things alot less complicated. - June 19, 2003 by DJX

She's a beauty! - I downloaded this thing once before on my older OS and it was really great, but that was before WinAmp 2.8 with it's little fade-out thingamajigger. Now it sounds even better, because with the fade-out, the repeat is so much smoother! It's really cool! - July 15, 2002 by Jeremy Emfinger

Great for guitarists - Add this plugin with pacemaker and you can disect guitar solos and difficult parts of songs. You gotta love winamp for being able to add and make all these plugins. - June 5, 2002 by dave hall

Very usefull for square dance caller - For a square dance caller like me it is very usefull to repeat the main part of a song again and again. But I don?t want to set them every time. It would be nice to store the values i.e. in the MP3-tags. - May 22, 2001 by David Goebel

AWESOME!! - I love being able to play the same part over and over again until I learn it on the keyboard. It's an awesome plug-in and very simple to use. - April 22, 2001 by Ron Stringer
