Logic Pro Live Loops performance and sound design — 9to5Mac:

We are checking in today to talk about Live Loops performance, sound design, and composition. The obvious application of Novation’s Launchpad integration with Apple’s Live Loops has to be the ability to trigger various vertical slices of a song project in order to rearrange it or just simply perform and record new versions of the original idea. But it is the more creative side of things we are particularly interested in, taking collections of our musical parts not just to alter the arrangement of the verses and choruses but also to create layered sounds and rhythmic ideas that can result in entirely new song ideas/audio resources. Today’s Logic Pros Live Loops Launchpad Diary is here to explore some of the elements and functionality to best accomodate this kind of creative approach.

Logic Pros Live Loops Launchpad Diary: Tips for getting started — 9to5Mac:

In today’s Logic Pros Live Loops diary, we are taking a look at the process of introducing this new workflow into our day-to-day recording sessions along with some quick Novation Launchpad tips. The potential of these repurposed controllers has just been getting even more intriguing with every Logic Pro update and after discussing the the pros and cons of the current-generation lineup, we are diving into to some tips and quality of life reminders for making the transition a smooth one.

We’ve all been there. We’re in the heat of working, editing away; we make a snip or cut with either a key command, menu function, or tool, and bam. It pops up. Stopping us dead in our tracks. We’re locked out of doing anything else and are confronted with a do-or-die decision that we must make before we can move forward. The entire universe is shrunken down to a simple call to action. Keep, shorten, or split. But, but, but…. what do they each do?

Eli’s explanations are always helpful. Split? Keep?

Here’s a little hack if you have a stereo file and you want to split the left and right into separate mono channels e.g. if you have an interview with the two speakers recorded on L and R channels. Using the same method above, copy the stereo file into another track and click-hold the input format button to select Left on one and Right on the other. Then make a small edit (split the file and move it a tiny bit at the beginning or end) and join (command-J) which will create a new mono file with just the left and right in their respective tracks. It is mind-numbingly stupid that 8 years after this discussion Apple still hasn’t fixed this so that you can easily import stereo files into two separate mono tracks, but here we are…

Logic Pro X / Behringer XTouch Functionality Question — Gearslutz

Tall order. Teach Logic and a Mackie Control to behave like an M32. I certainly hope that the machine running Logic is right near the X-Touch — you really want to have finer control of things.
