Hello all,
I'm reaching out today for some help, as I somehow seemed to have accidentally pressed a keystroke that did something to activate live loops in my project. I am now trying to disable them with no luck. If I uncheck the "show/hide live loops" box in the tracks toolbar it does hide the live loops legend and the live loops grid, but it takes my tracks header with it. When I enable the track header again in the track toolbar, it brings all the live loops stuff right back. 
I wouldn't mind, I could work around it, except for the fact that logic doesn't seem to behave the same way when live loops are active. I can't seem to select regions with left/right arros for example, and the enter key doesn't return my playhead to the beginning of the project.
So, I'm trying to get rid of all the live loops stuff. I've been reading that the reason I can't seem to hide the grid is because there is something in it, which you have to clear out completely before it'll go away. Well, I've tried, and scrolled through the whole thing, and voiceover reports every single cell is empty. So that doesn't seem to be it.
Does anybody have any other ideas? Or ideas on how I can work around live loops getting in the way? 
Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Mason

If using Logic Magician, option b will toggle you back to the tracks focus instead of Live Loops. It may work without Magician as well, if it doesn’t without Logic Magician try Option N.

Thanks for your response. Both Option B and Option N work, I am using the Ninja Keymap but not Magician. 

These hotkeys seem to be shortcuts for the checkboxes in the tracks toolbar. Option B shows live loops, and Option N hides them, but, again, takes my tracks header along. So this is basically  the same issue still. Live loops and tracks header seem to be linked somehow. Can't get the header to show without loops, and I can't get loops to hide without taking the header.

Is there anything else you would suggest trying?

Yes they will both still be visible but it should shift the focus back to the tracks view. So while live loops is still visible in the window you should be able to navigate the tracks you were before the issue propped up..

Oh, I see what you're saying. I recognize that I can navigate tracks all right, no issues there, but I'm having trouble selecting regions as normal while live loops are showing. Left and right arrows while focused on a track in the tracks header will get voiceover to announce, "previous region" or "next region". Yet pressing shift space to play the selected region triggers an alert that there are no regions selected. I have also made sure the track focus radio button is selected on the track I'm trying to work with.

The enter key also doesn't seem to return my playhead to the start of the project, the way it always has. Which is why I'm trying to get rid of live loops altogether. I've also tried selecting regions with left/right arrows within the mixer, but I guess that can't be done there. I haven't yet tried working with regions in tracks contents, although I suppose that could be done that way.


I'm thinking it may be easier in the long run to migrate my data to another project altogether, and then remove every keyboard shortcut having anything at all to do with live loops so this never happens again, lol.

As the key command  doesn’t speak and you aren’t using Logic Magician, press Option N once and see if that sorts the issue. If not you can always import everything into a new blank project as you said.
