Logic Pro #18 - Loop/Cycle Recording

[@scottgrondin9700]

Before I saw this lesson, I was loop recording with the cycle right at the beginning and end of the loop. Padding the beginning and ending is SO much better! Thanks!

[@thewhitbyfox]

Adjusting the wave form zoom - I didn't know that quick fix. Colourising (English spell :) ) the Takes Folder - brilliant. Thanks again. This is building to be THE definitive Logic Pro handbook/Tutorial - and I've looked at all of them. Nice one.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

In this video, I demonstrate the following: 1. How to set up and use Loop Recording (or Cycle Recording) in Logic 2. How to auto-colorize takes in Take Folders 3. How to adjust waveform zoom 4. How to use Loop/Cycle Recording for guitar solos Support the sponsor of this video, Boombox | bit.ly/boomboxsponsor For mixing/mastering work, contact me at my website | carneymediagroup.com Follow MusicTechHelpGuy on Instagram | instagram.com/musictechhelpguy Support the channel on Patreon | patreon.com/musictechhelpguy Demo project used in this video | www.logicproguide.com/downloads Timestamps: 0:00 Sponsor Segment 0:47 Introduction 1:52 Cycle Record Setup 3:22 Record Guitar Solo Takes 5:42 Waveform Zoom 6:18 Composite Take 7:30 Final Thoughts

I like your channel for 2 reasons. 1. The best Logic Pro lessons 2. I saw you wearing a KISS shirt ..

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

“That was a pretty bad take so I’m gonna do one more…” - things I say to myself at least 20 times a day!!!

[@gianni1646]

Yeah, that’s me with vocals too. 🤦🏻

[@ClarkWagaman-pw7to]

Your tutorials are clear, concise, well thought through, superbly useful and among the best I've seem. Kudos +

[@dtorst]

"Bear with me, my guitar solos aren't gonna be great." ** Proceeds to rip through four killer takes. **

[@Kaylone0]

When I hit record to punch in it mutes my audio how do I not make it mute???

[@Kaylone0]

Like on fl studio it doesn’t mute it just let me record right after

[@DigiMixAudio]

Great summary of cycle recording and colorizing tracks; thanks Logic Guru!

[@MrMrbuddy2011]

Perfect instruction. I finally got it, thank you!

[@igorvashkov8821]

Very nice soloing, Josh!

[@LastMinuteAndy]

Thanks for all the awesome tutorials. I knew I recognized your voice from school!

[@DanMia-cd1bm]

Interesting how it did come together and that was the lesson...always the teaching of it all is first rate..thx

[@AndreaRossGreene]

Another fantastic video, Chris! Thanks so much!

[@RichFriedland]

Thank you for the work you do creating excellent content like this.

[@bassManDavis1953]

OMG this is just unbelievable! Another thing I had no idea about? Thank you 🙏 so so much. This is gonna give me so much help with my projects. What a Christmas 🎄 Have a brilliant Christmas and a beautiful new year to all.

[@JeffyG]

Very cool - never knew this! Moving beyond the ‘essentials’ is getting interesting 😀

[@Larry_Druhall]

Thank you for this excellent video. For me this was a review, but I learned several helpful new things. Thank again.

[@vewilli]

Very cool solo in the end! Every solo was different, but nice! If I could play the guitar like you would be nice! Thanks for the video!

[@austinmurphy8981]

This series is 👌

[@TheBawss90]

Didn't know you could colorize takes thank you!

[@lumbeecheraw75]

Thank you. Great explanation

[@A.JayWeber]

Shred on JOSH! DAMN YO

[@_CIA]

never knew you could adjust the amount of the waveform zoom like that lol I wish I had these vids 5 years ago

[@joeyf808]

Hi Josh, quick question, is there a way to set a pre-roll during playback? It works perfectly during recording, can’t seem to find it for playback.

[@gabriel_facedown]

Is there a key command in logic to loop a midi region to the length of the cycle area? Without draggin the region length manually?

[@guzzoofoz]

Excellent. Thanks again. 👍😊

[@Fauxleroid]

When recording takes in cycle mode, can you set it up so you can hit record any time and it starts doing takes on loop? I can only do takes when starting from a stopped play state. if I hit record when already playing the loop, it punches out at the end of the cycle. sometimes I don't want to hit stop before recording takes. its annoying me.

[@harlemespanol]

Very informative video! I recorded a song with Autotune, but the project key is in the wrong key. Do I have to re-record the song?

[@reygalindo]

its possible too loop portions of an audio backing track to make it longer while you playing with it? Like said you have a Santana minus one solo guitar too short for extra solos. I wonder if I could make it longer by looping the solo section certain number of times and resolve the song after. I am talking without cutting and patching pieces of it. Thanks,

[@TaRonRoll]

how do you make audio peak into read like the stero output is hitting into red which gives clipping

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

I wouldn't recommend that for a number of reasons, but if you just want to add gain, you can add the "Gain" plugin to any track, and add gain.

[@antonygomargames]

Hi! When I start recording why the first take is always making a lot of repetitions about that take? Idk what setting do I need to change for that 😢

[@B-Boy_Spider]

Another awesome video. I was wondering how I can remove all the takes after I’ve done the comping. I just want an audio file of the final product, not a take folder.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

You can flatten and merge the take folder as demonstrated in part #14. This consolidates it to a new audio file.

[@jling66]

this is a great feature but for some reason my takes do not create new take tracks, they just pile up on each other so I'm hearing my last take as I record the new one, and the new take is just blended in with the last take. How do you fix that?

[@jennielee_music]

Me as well :/

[@TaRonRoll]

i want the gutair level to hit into red instead of stero output or both to do the same thing

[@garygimmestad4272]

Thanks for the great tutorials! Question: Why would 'Automatically colorize takes' be unavailable (greyed out) in my Logic Settings?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Go to Logic Pro > Settings/Preferences > Display > Tracks. Then under the "Region Color" option, set this to "individual" rather than "as track color". This should un-grey the option. It's because if your regions by default follow the track color, they cannot be auto-colorized within the take folder.

[@garygimmestad4272]

@@MusicTechHelpGuy Got it - it’s one or the other. Thank you!

[@sfierymountain]

But you left out a step. How did you move the parts you onto the first track?

[@officialjerel]

My Logic intermittently stops recording while on cycle. Sometimes it keeps recording, other times it’ll record one pass and then continue playing but no longer recording..

[@joewilliams5396]

Will you be showing how to change a guitar solo into midi note that can be used for a synth lead solo for those who are better at playing guitar than keys?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

When we get to Flex Time and Flex Pitch yes

[@thepiratebay718]

Another MTHG full Logic guide?! Cray

[@ishreyansjain]

I am an absolute beginner to music production, in what order should I watch your playlists? (Already done with music theory for producers) • Logic Pro X 101 • Logic Pro X 201 • Ultimate guide to logic pro x ( the latest one)

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Keep watching this one as it is I’m the most up to date. It covers everything in 101 and will cover much of what’s in 201 when it’s finished.

[@bassyey]

The color retakes is disabled on mine.

[@NIKTONvideo]

Did the author or someone have such a strange moment? In the session, recording is constantly in the "take folder" mode and suddenly... after a couple of hours of operation, this function is disabled and it is impossible to return it! There is no entry in "take folder" mode. No settings help. It remains to go back to the last saved file or create a new project.) Has anyone encountered an unexpected termination of this function in the project?

[@bigredguitar5601]

In Protools there is what's called destructive recording. I cannot find that ability in Logic X. I know its surely there. In other words, I don't want to create multiple files of [in my case] utter garbage before I get to the good take. This is particularly important when tracking 8 channels of drum mics, and learning a Neil Peart or Steve Gadd and one might do 10 takes of a cycle to get the parts dead in pocket. I suppose one could just not record them initially but then you can't hear the drums in your headphones. .
