LoopTube alternative

The LoopTube alternative built for real practice workflows

LoopTube is fine for a single A-B loop. But when you need to practice a whole solo in phrases, drill three tough fills back to back, or break a dance routine into five sections — you need Multi Looper.

LoopTube (looptube.io) is one of the oldest web-based YouTube loopers. It works, but it is stuck at the "one A-B loop per video" era. If you are a guitarist learning a solo, a drummer drilling fills, a dancer breaking down choreography, or a language learner shadowing tough phrases, you quickly run into its ceiling.

Multi Looper is a free, browser-based YouTube looper built around multiple loop sections per video, sequential playback, per-section speed control, drag-to-reorder, and an optional gradual speed-up practice mode. No account. No install. No ads.

Where LoopTube hits a ceiling

LoopTube's core model is: paste a URL, drag two markers, press loop. That is excellent for casually replaying a favorite chorus. It falls apart the moment you need more than one segment. You cannot bookmark the verse, chorus, and bridge of a song and jump between them. You cannot drill the intro lick, the pre-chorus fill, and the solo in a single uninterrupted session.

Users on Reddit's r/Guitar, r/guitarlessons, and r/Bass repeatedly ask for exactly this workflow. They build workarounds: keeping notepads of timestamps, opening LoopTube in multiple tabs, or manually dragging the A-B markers every time they switch phrases. It is the same problem every tool on the market sidesteps.

How Multi Looper changes the workflow

Multi Looper treats loop sections as first-class objects. You create as many as you want per video, each with its own start, end, name, color, and playback speed. You can reorder them with drag-and-drop. You can check/uncheck to choose which sections to include in the next playback. You can hit play and the tool walks through every selected section in order, looping each as many times as you need.

That turns your YouTube tab into a practice deck. You can move from the intro riff at 0.75x, to the verse groove at 0.9x, to the chorus solo at 0.6x — without touching a marker once you have set things up. And because sections are saved per video in your browser, you can come back tomorrow and pick up exactly where you left off.

Ads, tracking, and speed

LoopTube runs display ads during use. For a tool you keep open for an hour of practice, those ads become part of the experience. Multi Looper does not run display ads inside the tool surface. The tool stays clean.

Multi Looper is built on Next.js with React 19 and the React Compiler. The playback engine hooks directly into the YouTube IFrame API, so latency between pressing Play and hearing audio is minimal. Settings are stored in your browser; nothing is sent to our servers.

FAQ

Is Multi Looper really free?

Yes. Multi Looper is completely free. No account, no trial, no paywall for any feature described on this page.

Can I import my existing LoopTube loops?

There is no direct import because LoopTube does not expose an export format. However, because Multi Looper accepts any YouTube URL, you can open the same video and recreate your A-B loops in under a minute — then build out the additional sections LoopTube could not handle.

Does Multi Looper work on mobile?

Yes. Multi Looper is a responsive web app and works on modern mobile browsers. A desktop or tablet is recommended for drag-and-drop section reordering, but basic loop playback works everywhere.

Will my loops be lost if I clear my browser data?

Loop settings are stored in localStorage, so clearing browser data will remove them. Use the Share URL feature to keep an offline copy of important configurations — it encodes the full section list in the URL.
