Andrew Calder - Make Me Love (Live Loop Session)

Описание: A performance of my song, "Make Me Love" recorded through Logic Pro X using live looped recordings alongside some pre-recorded elements.

When I was initially writing this track, playing it live never even crossed my mind. But I was recently added to a stage of the CMJ Virtual Music Marathon and they asked me to submit any live performances so I thought I'd give it a go.

I know Logic Pro X has a dedicated live looping function but I couldn’t get it to work for this situation; I knew I wanted to be able to play certain elements live and also do some live filtering. So, instead, I figured out a way to use the main recording window and have each recording loop throughout the whole session. This meant I spent some time trying to figure out the structure of the performance and pre-mapping automation for sections that required muting.

Of course, doing things this way meant that I was more limited in what I was physically able to do. In that case, I decided to have some pre-recorded elements playing throughout (notably, the drums). I really wanted to be able to figure out a way to play the drums throughout but time wasn’t on my side so, instead, I just decided to have them in as a backing track.

The whole performance was recorded in one take with 3 cameras and QuickTime recorded the output of logic using Soundflower. It’s not a perfect rendition of the original studio version (follow this link to find it on whichever platform you use: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/and...) but I think it has a nice live feel to it! Enjoy!!
