    Hey ! Little late but still : for the "first note" problem, it's actually Logic that won't play a midi note except if it runs since the beginning of it. But you can go to File>Project Settings>Midi>Chase and enables "Notes"' Then your midi notes will sound even if you hit Play in the middle of it :)
  • @jordanmas1299
    thank you for being genuine. I've watched a few of your videos and they are very to the point and informative. we need more youtubers like you
  • @JezzaDJ8
    been on Logic since version 6, just started using live loops... I love it! auditioning a few different basslines or leads etc.. awesome.
  • @tomblack4437
    This is great. I have been searching for a simple explanation. All the tutorials I looked at start with an eye chart already populated with loops and a lot of the presentations/tutorials get off track and many times focus on the person instead of the lesson. You keep it simple and stay on topic. Very professional. Thank you.
  • @samiamalikmusic
    This is perfect thank you! Was considering getting Ableton to use the Launchpad controller (probably the Mini) and didn't realise I could use it with Logic. I loved you turning it around to match up! Cheers it was sooooo helpful
  • @muzicluvrable
    I never really looked into Logic Live Loops and now I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with for updates. I love the idea of being able to use Logic because it’s not worth it to pay for the upgraded Ableton . Thanks for a sharing a good video and the knowledge.
  • @CalebHubbartt
    Awesome that you mentioned changing tempo via arrangement window. It'd sure be awesome if logic adapted some of the ableton features like scene launch with their own tempo
  • Hey man, I’m running my live set through here. What I’m not doing is trying to record and build live. Ive got my mastered stems that I’m dropping into cells and it has a super fun vibe. Breaking it down by drums bass guitar blah blah, and hh snare kick etc. it’s been super reliable, I play live guitar parts and have my midi set up with Keyscape on a separate computer.
  • @wingspanmedia1
    Thanks for this! Unlocking the loop feature by setting up the cell timing was clutch …. Not a lot out there on that! Game changer! Thanks!
  • @vivihumusic
    Thank you for this tutorial !! so helpful for a beginner!
  • @rafaacuba
    Best video down here!! Thank you!!! 🥁
  • @malikrsealy
    Great video! An easier way to change the tempo may be to map it to midi controller knob or slider with “Learn Assignment”. This allows the you to change the tempo live, so you don’t have to plan everything in advance.
  • Yeah I noticed this with the first note drop off couldn't work out how to sort that out. Thanks for the video 🎥
  • You are my hero. Because of your video, I was finally able to manage that. Even though I don't have a launchpad, the iPad trick works wonders :) Thank you! Now I don't have to buy Ableton as well.
  • Here we go again. Nathan Larsen doing one of the finest tutorials. Thanks!
  • @somuchmusic19
    Nathan I believe the first note you mentioned cuts out because I'm sure if you look at the midi information in the tracks view, you might see that you pressed that note slightly before the start of the measure (like if you split a region and Logic asks if you want to keep any note that's separated by the new region). happened all the time when I record in the tracks view, for example when rolling a chord or just playing slightly ahead of the beat. If you record the pad again and just start slightly behind the first click, it should loop on the first go round. I definitely feel you, it'd be nice if there was a way for logic to recognize notes played slightly before a cycle.
