Record a Live Loops performance in Logic Pro for iPad
When you record a Live Loops performance, the cells that you play as part of the performance appear as regions in the Tracks area. After you are done recording your performance, you can play it back in the Tracks area, edit the regions, and finalize the mix just as you would with any other Logic Pro project.
You cannot record to a cell while recording a Live Loops performance. However, you can record to an audio or software instrument track. This lets you record a vocal or instrument performance, for example, along with the Live Loops performance.
Record a Live Loops performance
In Logic Pro, tap the Enable Performance Recording button
in the upper-left corner of the Live Loops grid.Make sure that Cycle mode is turned off (tap the Cycle button
in the control bar) and the project playhead in the Tracks area is positioned where you want to start recording your Live Loops performance.Tap the Record button
in the control bar to start recording.Start playing scenes, cells, or a combination of both. If you queue cells or scenes before you start recording, they start playing when recording starts.
The cells that you play as part of the performance are recorded as regions in the Tracks area.
Note: If you play Session Player cells when recording a Live Loops performance, they are recorded to the Tracks area as MIDI Regions.
To stop recording, do either of the following:
Tap the Stop button
in the control bar.The Live Loops performance stops recording, and the cells that were playing are now queued.
Tap the Play button
in the control bar.The Live Loops performance stops recording, but the project continues to play.
When you record a Live Loops performance, you can also record changes to track controls and effect parameters using automation. See Intro to automation in Logic Pro for iPad.
