Free Mac Music Software: Sorry, Windows-based musicians, but this freebie is just for Mac & Linux users.
SooperLooper is a live looping sampler capable of immediate loop recording, overdubbing, multiplying, reversing and more. It allows for multiple simultaneous multi-channel loops limited only by your computer’s available memory.
The application is a standalone JACK client with an engine controllable via OSC and MIDI. It also includes a GUI which communicates with the engine via OSC (even over a network) for user-friendly control on a desktop. However, this kind of live performance looping tool is most effectively used via hardware (midi footpedals, etc) and the engine can be run standalone on a computer without a monitor.
SooperLooper is currently supported on Linux and Mac OS X, and any other platforms that support JACK. The Mac OS X package is usable with at least the 0.6 release of JACK OS X. Note that for OS X Tiger, you’ll need to get at least version 0.7 of JACK-OSX. A Mac OS X Audio Unit version is included which does not require JACK to run.
See the SooperLooper site for details.

Was excited until I downloaded it. The interface is horrible. It is, by any standard, an anti-interface. We're talking Star Trek TNG fail. Even the preference window is fail.
The "Jack" thing is awful as well. I wouldn't trust either one of them on my system. I'll stick to Ableton's Looper. With all of it's shortcomings, as least it is coherent.
you can tell the people who made this looper didn't have any graphic design experience.
