However, I do really have an issue with the whole thing where you literally can't even open the app unless you're subscribed now. Tbh, loopcloud really is good enough imo to justify the €6.99 subscription though. I'm probably going to go back to using native Ableton workflow just to avoid these type of issues in the future. TL DR: Loopcloud is now requiring a subscription to use it's useful desktop app. In my case I was worried that in the future a third party app might go out of business and then I'm stuck with a hole that I have to fill. If they start charging, it doesn't matter - you're not relying on it for your workflow. If that third party app goes under, it doesn't matter. If you stick with Ableton native workflow (or whatever your DAW of choice is), you are basically protecting yourself against future changes to third party apps. However in the last few months I've been worrying about this and this change is exactly why. I use the desktop app quite a bit for browsing samples, more so than in Ableton because the desktop app is more powerful and nice to look at, and just fits my workflow better. Looks like that's changed, or is changing. My subscription lapsed a few days ago and while I like the app and have spent quite a bit of money on packs, one of the reasons I use Loopcloud rather than Splice is that they don't have a graspy subscription policy. Scroll down and see that the desktop app will no longer be available to non-subscribers. So just opened Loopcloud to see a new update.
