Loopy Pro x Dominic "Tic2DaToc" Bazile | Artist Spotlight
In this episode we're joined by Dominic "Tic2DaToc" Bazile: multi-instrumentalist, producer, educator and creator with deep roots in RnB, Jazz and Hip-Hop. Dominic has built huge audience by taking classic tracks and rebuilding them live with effortless flow, and he's been doing it with Loopy Pro. We talk through Dominic's musical origin story, his "hack at it until it clicks" approach to learning, inspirations that pulled him behind scenes, how he made jump from computer science into music, and how genre cross-pollination fuels everything he does. We also discuss how Dominic got into looping (and moment it truly clicked), why Loopy Pro became his "doors wide open" solution on iPad and staying reliable on long livestreams. Dominic also gives full tour of his setup, including Loopy Pro template based on Ableton-style scene grid, multi-input routing, loop-color strategy (including isolating vocals/solos) and production polish he bakes into chain so he can hand clean stereo feed to FOH and keep moving. Finally, we dive into Dominic's creation of one of Ludacris's biggest hits "Get Back", staying based in Louisiana (by choice) and long-game value of believing in your work.
