Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. This is exactly the info I’ve been looking for - to record guitar while triggering song sections via MIDI footpedal, and jam together the arrangement. Many thanks. And very tasty playing too!
Brilliant. Not many videos out there for live performance with logic… seems Ableton is most known for that but I don’t want to switch just for live. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! It helps deconstruct a lot of complicated stuff- thank You for making Logic Pro X more fun and easy to understand. All the best for your future endeavours. Best wishes from Hyderabad, India!
I’m not a musician, but I’ve been trying out Logic Pro X as a sound design tool for video. The live loops are an awesome set of tools that I could use to also possibly enhance live content creation (podcasting or video creation) and possibly even up my presentation skills at work with sound by using it as a sound board. The inclusion of live loops is a game changer for me, all I need to do is figure out how to incorporate it into my workflow.
Amazing tutorial & great song! But what if I want to do a tempo change during a live show, like to switch between songs? I know I can kind of do it by changing the tempo settings in the usual layout, but it's not smooth. How can I do tempo changes live & smooth?
I would also like an answer for this. Otherwise, Live loops is basically useless to me.. I would rather just use a different regular layout for my loops but don't want to create a new project for each loop.
@musictechhelpguy Do you know if this feature work for performance on the ipad version? I've been searching for a video with the info you just shared for nearly two hours!
I've been looking and looking for a video explaining anything about the scenes midi controller stuff in logic! UA-cam just keeps trying to make me rewatch the midi controller control surface video u have smh! I got my nektar impact lx25 scenes hooked up to where I can use the 8 pads and 8 knows for different controls for each of the 12 scenes I got set up like, scene #1 pad 1-8 mute track 1-8, then scene #2 pad 1-4 zoom shortcuts and so on and on plus the same with the knows. But I had a hell of a time setting it all up and saving it!
Can you use it as a guitar looper? I’d like to be able to record multiple guitar tracks with different tones/panning/volume etc as sort of a live performance recording. I can see how it’d be able to load pre-recorded scenes, but not sure if it’s possible to record scenes on the fly with multiple guitar tracks
I think that should be totally possible. I’d use a MIDI-device like a Launchpad and assign buttons to essential functions like making a new track and recording a new cell. For effects you should either pre-make them and have them ready before the performance or use external effect pedals.
Someone should make a controller that works specifically with this Logic Live Loops, and that is built to work perfectly and smoothly with it, like Ableton Push or something like that. It'd be really helpful for people like me that use looping in live shows.
Seems to me there’s a big hole in the market for a quality midi controller, like the komolete kontrol, with drum pads. Something that is mapped/optimized with 10.5... unless I’m missing something?
Can you do a video on how you would set this up to perform a live show with multiple songs? Would you just have to create one session with samples and stems from each individual song/session?
Also wondering the same thing. I'd like to build a 4 song set of live loops. But I can't figure out how to apply metronome changes separately to each "song". Everything just goes off the tempo that's set in the track area. I can only hold a tempo if I turn on cycle for that tempo area. I have to move the cycle if I want to change songs/beats. Is there a way to automatically pair cells in loop grid to a tempo in track area? Looking to fire a new beat in the correct tempo with just one button.
@@galacticdrum311 Create track alternatives under File - Project Alternatives, should be fairly quick to switch between them and have different sessions ready with a bit of preparation
that's what im saying lol I own logic but not Ableton and I do NOT want to pay for Ableton so this is so cool and if you download the logic remote you can que the tracks with and iPad or iPhone.
Is there a Key Command to assign in a midi controller to use to scroll up or down the instrument presets channels so I can access the instrument of my preference like the piano you play live int he workflow as you explain so I can even record without touching my MacBook?
This was exactly what I was looking for. So you actually dont need a loop station if you have logic pro and a midi controller :) Does mainstage have any relevance in this setup?
That was very helpful, thanks a lot. Any chance scenes could play in different tempos? I tried fiddling with meta event 100 (tempo control), but that does not seeem to work in live loop mode.
Hi, thanks for all your cool tutorials. :) Apologies in advance for my jumbled questions, I'm still in the very early stages of figuring it all out. Firstly, you said this won't be so tactile for a live performance setup and a midi controller would be better. Why is that? Do you have a video on that? I have an Akai MPK mini keyboard, and I'm trying to figure out (second question) what's the difference between the pads on my keyboard and the pads on the launchpad? Can't they be programmed in the same way? Last question: when I open the controller assignments window it looks different to yours - no easy/expert view button, just says "no assignment selected". Is that because the pads on the keyboard don't work that way?
@@MusicTechHelpGuy That's really cool, I've been learning so much foundational knowledge in the BSMP program. Your teaching style is wonderful, very grateful to you for the plethora of knowledge.
Another question so you assigned your columns to a beat pad in one window session and in another session previously recorded will the assigned beat pad be remembered?
I have set up live loop scenes and trigger them with a midi foot pedal...programmed in the 'Controller Assignments' window...however the settings seem to get lost if I walk away and do not use logic for a while, and also if I save and close the project, ,the assignments are not saved the trigger cease working, and I have to re program them. Any ideas? 10.7.4
hey man thank you for your videos.. quite helpfull.. when I press cmd return it activates the other mode in my case.. the next time I initiate playback, it plays the arrangement view.. even if it is closed. any guesses? I see it doesn't happen to you...
Having an issue where the pad triggers the scene but also plays the sound of whatever MIDI instrument is highlighted. How do I get it so it just triggers the scene?
Have you by chance been able to figure out how to trigger individual cells with a controller WITHOUT having the corresponding software instrument selected?
Hello great video!! When I assigned my pads it worked just great to cue the scenes but then if I want to play the instrument my piano keys are now also triggering the scenes anyway to assign the pads to pitches I won't need on my keyboard?
love these videos how do you make the colours change on the pads I see it in some peoples videos and looks very cool and aesthetic how could I make the pads change colour in logic whilst I'm doing a live performance please let me know thanks subscribed
Hi there… First Up, THANK YOU for these xlnt tutorials. (nice groove btw) Now… Got a question for you that i have not been able to find ANYWHERE… I have a gig coming up where i want to use Live Loops BUT i also need to be able to play some tracks that run all the way through the gig from the arrangement window. . My Problem is that if i select a Loop Scene it stops the track playing in the Arrangement view. This is REALLY tedious … Is there a way to protect a track from switching to the LOOPS mode?
I've tried this process several times with ,y mini lab controller. And it doesn't work at all or intermittently. No idea why Logic haven't assigned a start, stop control to each scene available to any controller.
This is great info thank you! Is there a way to record a fully live beat looping / jam session similar to that of FKJ? Starting with kick and snare, adding hi hats, then piano chords, then a bass loop, then solo with a guitar over? Etc
You just may be my hero! I have some of the Akai pads triggering Logic Live Scenes but not consistently. Then you showed me how to set up the scene triggers in 1 step rather than 2 steps.. Whoah! before that I was trying to put 2 key commands (next scene plus trigger chosen scene) but it was hit or miss. They way you showed us seems perfect! However nothing happens when I touch the pad (only the globals workin)----OR it does work but with a loading delay. When I look in the key command editor it doesn't appear it assigned a function . it just says Live Loops Scene. Perhaps my columns are not correct? What do the columns represent or do? thanks
What a beautiful work flow- and are those stock Logic sounds? Just Tasteful and new sounding.. I was think Seriously about Ableton but, I’m loving the Logic upgrade 👍🏾👍🏾
I’m using oxygen, Pro , 61, but I am not able to assign for pads, in which mode I want to, I need to assign either Daw mode or preset mode.,Can you please help me? After assigning the pads by watching your video, it is automatically taking all options into default Thank you -Daniel from India 🇮🇳 😊
Has anyone ever set up an entire whole live show using logic and live loops? And Ableton people do this all the time but I’m a logic user and wondering what the workflow is Love to hear your all’s thoughts!
I've commented on your videos before saying you are the absolute best teacher and I feel like saying it again! you rock man!!!
Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. This is exactly the info I’ve been looking for - to record guitar while triggering song sections via MIDI footpedal, and jam together the arrangement. Many thanks. And very tasty playing too!
Have you tried this? How does it work for a whole set?
Man I loved that funky improv at the end there
Nice improv! I was confused about the difference between stop playback and stop all cells, but this clarified that for me. Thanks as always!
I've watched a ton of your videos and this was by far my favorite. Your keyboard jam was enviable keyboard playing. Thank you for sharing.
That improv was nice! Thanks for making this, lots of helpful info for sure 🙏🏼
Brilliant. Not many videos out there for live performance with logic… seems Ableton is most known for that but I don’t want to switch just for live. Thank you!!
I have to pay for Ableton and I don't want to so im glad to have found this and the remote for iPhone or iPad is really cool too.
Same. Has anyone here ever done a *whole set* like this though?
@@adamelfersmusic no but it’s actually reliable from others are saying.

I just recently start using Live loops in 10.6.1. and I have the Novation Launchkey.
It was great to see what you do and I learned a lot .
Thank you
Your summation at the end was just what I was thinking. Nice vid too

Your channel is so big and difficult to find the videos. Can you please share the video link where you explain how to map the controller assignment?
Ooh that demo song has me all perked up.
Top class as always. This song is dope too
This is what I’m looking for but I tryna figure it out in ableton cuz ion got a Mac😢
@musictechhelpguy Do you know if this feature work for performance on the ipad version? I've been searching for a video with the info you just shared for nearly two hours!
Yes I believe so. I just tested remote, so I don't see why it wouldn't work with Logic for iPad.
Thank you so much. This was very helpful. So clear and concise.
This was So helpful. Your an awesome inspirator dude, I've seen a lot of your things. You explain it so well for beginners, thanks man! Keep it up!
Haha, lucky this was exactly what I was searching for, 3 days after you made it!
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing this knowledge and features of Pro logic.

This could replace Ableton for me. But how do I fit more than 1 song in a project with different tempos for each song?
Someone should make a controller that works specifically with this Logic Live Loops, and that is built to work perfectly and smoothly with it, like Ableton Push or something like that. It'd be really helpful for people like me that use looping in live shows.
Apple won't do it. Definitely something a 3rd party hardware developer should pick up!
Guille DA you can use logic remote with ipad, but make sure it’s new ios compatible
From what I’ve seen, Launchpad x is just plug n play with Logic and live loops
iPad
Please god!
FINALLLLLLLY someone that called the "X" 10 like it is.
Awesome, very clear information. Tks!

One question: is there any way to use the APC40 like in Ableton?
Okay, now you just showin off on the Rhodes... 😏 hahaha
Thanks for the vid tutorial on how to use live loops in a practical sense 🙏🏿🤟🏿
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial 👍

Wowsers!
that's what im saying lol I own logic but not Ableton and I do NOT want to pay for Ableton so this is so cool and if you download the logic remote you can que the tracks with and iPad or iPhone.
When assigning columns to beat pad if you unplug your beat pad do you need to reassign them again.
how to assign the cells above number 8?

Does mainstage have any relevance in this setup?
and use your phone or iPad to control logic live.
How about if I want to do the same but use the loops as a accompaniment to change by left-hand like a accompaniment keyboard. Is it possible to do?
Really nice, please have you got that grove to share, please please. I love the groove

reallly really thanxs man!!!! i dont now how to... but now yeahhhh
Say I want to improvise whilst recording a song arrangement…Sort of like the way Ableton is set up. Can that be done using this technique as well?
Fantastic work
Thank you!!!
Is there a way to play the next scenes automatically once the current scene is finished playing? Sort of like Ableton a follow actions?
you can also press command L to get up the mapping page
Hi...cool tutorial. Maybe I missed it, but you're controlling an entire scene. What if you wanted to assign a start/stop for each cell?
Yes, it would be great to be able to control the cells too
You can do that also
amazing tutorial bro ..thanks
Is there a way for the back light of those pads to stay lit so you know which scene is currently active?
great lesson!

Can we use chord as trigger
Cool - groovy improv at the end!
If you had clicked record instead of just arming the piano track would it record custom loops in each scene?

can you stop scenes individually ?

am i wrong or is that the best looping machine ever ? dreaming of having a bos rc 505 but i guess logic and a midi footswitch is the better choice !?
