Most loopers have a very useful feature where a loop doesn't start recording until the input level crosses a certain threshold.

At the very least, you should add an explanation of space and KP0 to the readme.
Of course explanation on any other keys is needed too.

This program needs pkgconfig to build.
Minor nitpick: would be nice if that's in the README.

this could result in endFrameN < beginFrameN

this is currently guarded against with the following caveat:

1. beginFrameN is fixed
2. triggers are ignored unless
   currentFrameN >= beginFrameN + (SampleRate * MINIMUM_LOOP_DURATION)

TODO: when base loop (endFrameN <= beginFrameN) copy beginFrameN upto RolloverFrameN then 0 upto endFrameN

Each loop is visualized by a round VU; great!
Unfortunately the overall lout-level has a screen wide VU that obscures the loops.

I'm not sure how the screen wide VU helps, since that is already visualized in 2 other places.
If you insist on keeping it , please make it another color, and have it under the loops.

This is with the master branch.

aka "edit mode"

DrawScenes() , drawScene() , drawHistogram() , and drawRecordingLoop()

may also serve as buffer display for "edit mode" (issue #14)

this should be done before implementing user-defined buffer size because the Scene instances are currently instantiated before JACK and their loop end points are based on the buffer size which JackIO will report as the default prior to initialization

appears to fail intermittently upon initializing the peaks arrays in the Loop class
this only seems to happen with very short loops ~< 2 seconds
the current solution simply ignores triggers that would create a scene with loops shorter than 2 seconds

The first loop should define the loop size, the loops that come after that should be variable in size: an integer multiple of loop 1.
For that, there need to be 2 rec modes:

• record multiple loops automatically (like we have now)
• record a loop and stop when the button is pushed again.

When I did make release I got make: *** No rule to make target 'release'. Stop..

When I make a mistake, I want to get rid of the last recording.
