BINK Looper is a free Ableton plug-in used to facilitate advanced looping techniques. With this device, you can pre-program loop length, as well as the amount of time it waits before triggering the loop. Using neighboring effects channels and dummy clips, you can also use this technique to automate effect automation in real-time (and eliminate cross-channel bleed).
*CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATION*
- I didn't mention it anywhere, but make sure your global quantization is set to 1 bar.
- The "Stop" function on Bink Looper is for stopping the clip directly after it's recorded. Toggling that on will keep the clip from playing back immediately.
- I didn't mention this in the video to save time, but I find that it's good practice to delete/move the source files of your Dummy Clips so that Ableton can't find them. Rather than playing a silent clip, it'll be playing the empty shell of a clip.
- In the last part of the video, I labeled one of the long dummy clips incorrectly. The clip on Audio 1 (EFX) should say "Open 8 - Mute 8 - Open Forever."

Update: I'm very happy to see that this tutorial has been helpful for so many people, and I still believe it teaches many of the fundamental aspects of scripted looping; however, I'd like to point out that I no longer use Bink Looper in my live performances. I've switched over to a plug-in called ClyphX Pro that offers all the same features with a more convenient UX and workflow. It also allows for scripted quantization (with % accuracy and % swing) and real-time loop transposition (i.e. I can program in key-changes in the middle of my songs), two big features that I'd always wanted to have. For those of you looking for a free plug-in to try out, Bink Looper might be the way to go. For anyone wanting to perform scripted looping live on stage, I DO NOT RECOMMEND Bink Looper, as it is known to glitch from time to time. Even a 1% failure rate is not tolerable for live situations. If you're comfortable spending a bit on ClyphX Pro, I highly recommend the investment.

@@mathiasscheitzeneder1685 I use the "waits" function to delay the "clip qntz" command so that it happens within 1-2 beats from the moment the loop is finished recording. The qntz command must be sent to the clip after it's done recording, or it won't work.

Thanks so much for this tutorial, so smooth and easy to understand basic concepts around this great plugin. I'm working on my own template and i think color is a big thing when it comes to organize things visually... but i noticed two things: 1- When the monitor is set to "In" on a track, the clips won't show any color but grey. 2- If you follow this advice Connor is giving in the description box: "I didn't mention this in the video to save time, but I find that it's good practice to delete/move the source files of your Dummy Clips so that Ableton can't find them. Rather than playing a silent clip, it'll be playing the empty shell of a clip. " you don't get any clip color neither. In this particular scenario, what i found to be an alternative is to record a silent line and set the clip gain to -inf. Just in case someone is going crazy trying to find out what happens with clip colours.

I'm a Jazz musician and am trying out Abelton for looping long form songs (e.g., Jazz standards, 32 bars). I have Abelton Lite and "Looper" is only on the full version, so I got that trial. I have the Akai APC4oMkii control surface. Without using Looper, it is virtually impossible to make the parts play together, i.e., to have the high hat actually on 2 and four... Sure, I can post record input the bars beats 16ths to be the same, but that's pretty "out there" for looping. Since I'm using MIDI instruments for keys, I figured Abelton might be the way to go. Just got full version and Looper last night. Stumbled across this Bink plug in. Ideally, I'd just play (NO metronome or quantization; I have great time and have been playing Jazz for decades), and then record the next part without setting in advance the number of bars, but it just doesn't seem possible with Abelton. There is always a delay before it starts to record, no matter what I do. Does one use Bink INSTEAD of Abelton's Looper? I don't need the full Ableton (nearly $400 USD) except for the looper). Would this Bink or the ClyphX Pro solve these problems? Thank you very much!

Thank you! I just got ableton 10 standard and have been making the transition from looping with a pedal to looping with software... reason I made the switch is because I wanted to be able to do more and create living compositions as opposed to being limited to one time structure. I was trying to figure out how to delay recording and bring things in and out and was having trouble... thanks to this video I think I’m going to get the bink looper plug in and invest my time learning this technique... steep learning curve but it will be worth it.

Great video. I am struggling a bit though. It works fine without a delay, but for some reason when I add the delay the clip won't launch. I know I have it positioned correctly (between arm and loop length). When I set the delay, everything looks good. But then after I try to run it (and it doesn't work), the red circle by "launch" is no longer red, but a hollow circle. What could I be missing?

I learnt a lot from this video! Thank you. I'm struggling with this one thing though. I want to play on a channel and keep playing while I activate the dummy clip that starts the recording. But, as soon as I activate the dummy, I get no audio through the channel, even though it's armed. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

When you play the dummy clip on your source channel, it will cut off the audio flowing through that channel. That's just how Ableton works, unfortunately. Ideally, you can just launch the dummy clip earlier (before you start playing) and add a delay to the loop. If that's not possible for some reason (if you're using Bink Looper while improvising), I would use two duplicate channels- one for allowing the audio to pass through uninterrupted, and the second one to record the loop (while muted). Once the loop is recorded, toggle off the mute on the second channel to hear it play back.
