Gimme the Loop / FAQ
Gimme the Loop FAQ.
Straight answers about the free core app, Studio Unlock, local Mac processing, exports, rights, and when a browser tool may still be the better fit.
Know before you unlock.
Gimme the Loop's core loop finder is free from the Mac App Store. Studio Unlock is $19.99 one-time for advanced edits, stems, expanded candidate control, and heavier export workflows. Normal app use keeps imported audio on your Mac. You are responsible for the rights to the source audio and exported files.
Core app vs Studio
The free app is the core workflow. Studio Unlock is the power-user lane for deeper editing and finishing work.

|---|---|---|
| Install | Download the core app from the Mac App Store without a subscription. | $19.99 one-time through the Mac App Store. |
| Import | Use the bundled Rap.aac demo or import a local audio file. | Same local import flow, with Studio tools available after analysis. |
| Analysis | Local timing, sections, ranked loop ideas, seam preview, and useful export. | Expanded candidate control for deeper loop and resize comparison. |
| Edits | Find the part, hear the join, and render a cut. | Advanced edits, stems, Studio tools, and heavier export workflows. |

FAQ
Is Gimme the Loop a subscription?
No. The core loop finder is free, and Studio Unlock is $19.99 one-time through the Mac App Store for advanced tools.
How is this different from browser audio tools?
Browser tools usually start with an upload. Gimme keeps the track on your Mac, ranks loop candidates, lets you hear the seam, and exports from the app.
What does Studio Unlock add?
Studio Unlock adds advanced edits, stems, expanded candidate control, Studio tools, and heavier export workflows.
Can I use exports commercially?
You are responsible for the rights to the source audio and any exported files you create.
Does Gimme upload my audio?
No. Normal app use keeps imported audio on your Mac.
Why would I choose Gimme over a web tool?
Choose Gimme for local files, Mac workflow, candidate ranking, preview-before-export, and one-time ownership. Choose a web tool when no-install browser convenience matters more.
