- Then I just want to play guitar over it on a new track. For how many bars: I don't know. Until I get tired of soloing. Then problem is that for each 8 bars it wants to keep saving the recording inside the original area so in the end I have to drag and drop dozens of snippets, taking care to line em up and re-activate them just to listen to the whole thing at once. It's a tremendous pain.
If you are willing to play the first bit then hit stop... Click the clip and ctrl+l and drag the clip out, you can then record over the loop on another track... This gets you what you are talking about but the flow gets interrupted and it is fiddly. This is what Filo describes above.
Th3 has a Looper you can trigger with a midi pedal. Thu, the newer version, has a better Looper, but they are still working on it. I've been using it this weekend and enjoying it, but there are times when I'm like wtf.
Make sure CbB will loop the clip as expected. To do this, turn the clip into a groove clip by selecting it and typing CTRL+L. The clip should completely fill all 8 bars. If it does not, open the clip into the Loop Construction View and adjust the beat count until the clip fills all 8 bars. May want to rename the clip in clip properties and drag it to the browser saving it for future use.
And each one is best for a certain application! What I like about the scook Matrix View method is you can have other loops in there for inspiration. My method is good when you want to have LOTS of repeats. The Chuck and Groove Clip methods are fast.
Oh brill. This is a good excuse for me to cozy up to the Matrix View. I like to record my own loops and then jam over them, and hadn't considered the Matrix View as a tool to facilitate that, even though my other DAW, Mixcraft, implements a similar Ableton Livesque triggered cell thing.
Games, video lessons, a songbook with 200 songs -chords & lyrics- by The Beatles, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and more. The all-new Loog Guitar app is designed to get kids playing, learning and falling in love with music, all year long.
We started Loog not just to help kids play guitar, but to foster curiosity around music. From Beatles and Prince, to the history of punk rock, to the science of sound waves, to why there are so many metal bands in Finland!
You can stick anything you like before your interface, but whether it makes sense is another matter. Putting a looper (I presume you mean something like a Boss RC, or TC Ditto) in front seems sort of redundant to me since with Logic you can copy and paste any part you make ad-infinitum without the hassle of having to step on the looper on the right beat.
If that's easy for you and you get the result you want, there's nothing wrong with it. In fact it may be easier for you to "stay in the vibe" when using the looper pedal vs when editing your loops in Logic.
If you prefer a workflow with more flexibility and more control, and don't mind spending a bit of time stopping the loop and readjusting it in Logic where necessary, then you can create your loops one by one on different tracks in Logic Pro. This opens your world to many new possibilities as each loop on each track can now have its own sound, its own effect plug-ins etc... but obviously it's not the same experience as working in real time with a looper pedal.
OK, this is only daydreaming, but, the general idea would be to have a plugin (possibly part of the Pedalboard broader thingy) which would act as a looper, of which you could control the "start/stop recording loop" parameter, and, like any plugin parameters, assign them to an external control (such as an external midi stomp pedal). This way you would trigger the internal Logic looper using that midi pedal (used as a midi controller). Among niceties, this means you could record your actions on that pedal (as automation) for later further tweaking (while you record you incoming audio - pre-looper - on the track on which the looper is inserted), you could possibly even sync in some way the looper with the project tempo (such as "smart" triggering like "start next loop at next bar downbeat" or "end loop at next end of bar" which would affect how an incoming start/stop action is dealt with, whatever...). Btw, if done this way, if your audio is set to "Follow tempo", the looper would automatically adjust without any need for re-recording anything if you later change the project tempo. Among other parameters, you could have things such as what happens when a new loop is "recorded" (does it overrule the previous one, is it layered on top of the previous one(s), etc), are loops repeated indefinitely or slowly decaying such as the feedback % of a tapedelay, etc. Anyway, daydreaming mode OFF, I don't think any such thing exists for the moment, but reading your post just made that idea jump to my mind for lots of possibilities regarding creative stuff that could nicely mingle into more "regular" projects, with both the live aspects of a looper and an editable aspect thanks to Logic automation and sync capabilities, etc...
I've tried SooperLooper and it's a very competent looper it seems. Almost all of Arnaud's "daydreaming" can be done with it, it has a rather "shaky" GUI though, at least on my system. But I really recommend it, it's great fun !
I tried Super Looper before in Logic X but couldn't figure out how to use it. Became frustrated and gave up. I'll try reading the manual before I make another attempt. Reading the manual seems to clear things up in general.
I actually learned this lesson the other day...to read the manual. Reading the manual to better understand something actually prevents me from throwing objects precipitously against the wall out of utter frustration in not comprehending a certain idea or concept. Much for the better, I believe.
Great advise! How can I synchronise the loop pedal tempo with my already existing logic pro tracks? My idea is creating live loops using the pedal board with looper + midi Keyboard for synths through Logic with additional pre-recorded tracks.
I want to record drum loops, and guitar loops, during the live performance. For example, I want to begin with guitar riff, loop it, and then overdub with sequence played on the drum machine. I wonder how to do it, and what gear should I use. The configuration should be something like this:
I've done some research, and I think that I could use Alesis SR-16 as drum machine, and Behringer MICROMIX MX400 as mixer, whose output signal will be an input for the looper. Will it be OK? I'm afraid of problems with the impedance, besides I don't want to destroy the amplifier. Do any of you use a similar gear configuration? Do you have any tips? I will be grateful for your help.
You may not need the mixer - the looper is stereo, so you could run the guitar on one channel and the drum machine on the other. This obviously won't work for stereo drum signal, and your guitar level would be much lower than the default drum level so this may not be the most useful configuration, but worth thinking about.
It would be a good idea to make sure that the drum machine that you choose has good playable pads - a lot of people only use the pads on drum machines to sequence things in step time or play simple parts that are then quantised later, so the pads aren't always that good.
You might want to make sure that you are happy with the sound of your drums through the guitar amplifier - drums often sound terrible through guitar amplifiers, as the amplifiers are often very midrangey.
Also bear in mind that you won't be able to use distortion or any effects on the guitar amp without also affecting the drums. You might consider using a guitar effect pedal after the guitar but before the looper. In fact I am assuming that you'll be using something between the guitar and the mixer - the MX400 is a 'line mixer' and only has an input impedance of 4.7kOhm, so might not work well with a guitar plugged straight in.

Can I write arbitrary text (or draw graphics?) from PD to the little OLED screen on the Organelle, to display looping status? It looks like I definitely can, but is there anywhere I can go online to look at the documentation for how that works from PD?
