Soundhound Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Anyone know about this bug, and how to make it stop? When I record a new region, it is looped infinitely. The way to fix is to Control click on the region and turn Auto Loop (something like that) off and then the region is fine. Is there a Loop On/Off Preference for when recording Regions somewhere? I couldn't find anything like that. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Click the background on the tracks area and press L or switch off "Loop" in the region inspector while nothing is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundhound Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks Eric, that did it. Is there a way to set that so a new track doesn't have loop on by default do you know? And the beavhior seems a little strange, the region that's created loops infinitely and you can't change the number of loops, except by turning loops off, which makes it a normal unlooped region. Is this for performing live or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The behaviour is not strange, it's a (great) feature and has been like this since Logic 1.x Any settings you make to the MIDI Thru parameters (the parameters displayed when no regions are selected) are automatically applied to any regions you create. This gives a quick way of being able to set default parameters like quantisation, looping etc, without have to set them on every region. It's a fairly simple concept implemented well, but obviously one of the first things to go out of the window in these days of TL;DR software manuals is a conceptual overview of these things, unfortunately, and without that, sometimes behaviour can seem illogical or "un-intuitive". You can change how many loops a region continues for in the normal way, by editing the loop end point with the loop tool - by default, a region with "Loop" checked will loop until it encounters another region on the same track, or hits the end of the song, but by dragging the the looped area around you can manually set a length if desired. Or just put an empty region where you want the loop to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundhound Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 I see, interesting. are those defaults controllable, so that looping, for example, is not on by default for a new track? what is TL:DR? the looped region that is created in this situation unfortunately is not editable, or again I'm not understanding. the loop goes as far as it can t the end of the project and you can't grab the end of the loop t edit it.

Eric Cardenas Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks Eric, that did it. You're welcome! I see, interesting. are those defaults controllable, so that looping, for example, is not on by default for a new track? It's not track based, it affects the whole project. It's not the default at all but you can easily press L by mistake and enable this when nothing is selected. what is TL:DR? Too long; Didn't read. the looped region that is created in this situation unfortunately is not editable, or again I'm not understanding. the loop goes as far as it can t the end of the project and you can't grab the end of the loop t edit it. Don't need to grab the end. Click on the top half of the loop wherever you want it to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I see, interesting. are those defaults controllable, so that looping, for example, is not on by default for a new atrack? That is exactly the point of the midi thru parameters. What you choose here *is* the default, for regions you record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundhound Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I see, said the blind man. TL:DR is not unrelated to RTFM, one imagines. All should be taped to the wall in my studio. Thanks!

David Nahmani Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I see, interesting. are those defaults controllable, so that looping, for example, is not on by default for a new track? Not only that, but in all factory templates, the default for a new recording is to NOT loop. So the only way you can see that defaults set to Loop (as you are) is if you changed that default yourself, or you're using a template or project file where that default behavior was changed by the user - consciously or not!

ninox_rufa Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Please take this as a bit of friendly advice, not a criticism: I saw you posted the same question on Gearslutz and someone answered you there too. Perhaps consider respecting people's time who volunteer their help for nothing. You're using up resources because you can't wait a few hours for an answer? And it's basic stuff found in the manual. I highly recommend reading it every day/night till you know it back to front. I've seen a few people on LPH do this lately since Gearslutz started a Logic sub forum. Your question just happens to be the first I've commented on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundhound Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I do that because sometimes I don't get an answer on one or more places. People seem to not mind offering help when they can afford the time, no one is forcing them to do it. I try to do it as well when I happen across something I might have some info on. I highly recommend you find an engaging hobby. Please take this as a bit of friendly advice, not a criticism: I saw you posted the same question on Gearslutz and someone answered you there too.

ninox_rufa Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I highly recommend you find an engaging hobby. Seeing as you felt the need to be a smart *ss I'll reply once but I don't have the time and aren't going to bother again. no one is forcing them to do it. Stating the obvious. I do it. I'll be less inclined to do it if I know people are shopping for answers. As will others. People seem to not mind offering help when they can afford the time You've missed the point. I'm one of those people who help, on several forums, not just audio related. My comment is an example of a person who does mind (not a big deal but still worth mentioning I thought). Understand now? I do that because sometimes I don't get an answer on one or more places. I don't buy it. Questions almost never go unanswered here, and eventually do get answered if the OP bumps the thread. Seems more like it's about getting an answer NOW. I'm not telling you what to do. Just suggesting you give it some thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundhound Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 You very much need a hobby. I understand needlepoint to be quite invigorating and challenging as well. What you buy or don't buy is of no interest to me, honestly. More seriously (though the thought of a needed hobby is not entirely in jest). I do go through manuals, google, youtube, macprovideo, groove3 etc. before posting questions on forums like this one. People tend to think and organize material in their own ways, and not all manuals are organized the same. I;m learning to use Cubase after years in Logic, and the manual is a very different style indeed — the point being sometimes the material is hard to find, or easy to miss, or simply missing. Questions do go unanswered. In addition, posting the question in multiple places can result in a variety of answers. With DAWs there is almost always more than one way to accomplish something, and getting multiple perspectives can be a great aid in seeing the larger picture. In addition, sometimes an answer is hoped for quickly, especially when working under deadlines, which, increasingly, is always. I can recommend some needlepoint sites if google does't give adequate results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
