Loopback not recording at low volumes

It seems Loopback has something akin to a noise gate on it. I can understand why that might be useful for people taking in external sound, but with software instruments it's really irritating, meaning that low-level sounds aren't recorded.

Anyone got any solutions to this? I'm setting up live looping but some of the layers will be really quiet.

Also, I want to set the Loopback plug in to a fixed number of bars, which is fine but every time I clear the loop it resets to unspecified. Any ideas?

How do I avoid an audio overdub (via live mic) always being slightly How do I correct the delay/latency effect that occurs when I overdub an audio (live mic) track onto an original? As I am recording the overdub, all seems fine, but in playback the overdubbed part is always slightly "behind" the original. Help! Thanks.

Issue with Live loops Everything stops! So I am trying to use Live loops as a live performance for streaming. I've run into this issue that seems random. I can't pinpoint why it keeps happening as it does intermittently. I will go to record into an audio cell and every other cell that is currently playing will just stop. Also on top of that sometimes it just won't even record the audio even though there is a signal. I'm running this on a new M1 Mac mini and using the launch pad mini and the Behringer UMC1820. I really want to use this live but if I can't figure this out I guess I'll go back to MainStage with the loopbacks. Anyone else run into this issue or am I missing something totally simple? Thanks!

Random Latency Issues In Logic This has happened to me twice now in Logic. I'll be working on a project and everything is groovy. The next day when I go back to it all of a sudden I have latency issues when recording that I can't explain. I understand the issues with plug ins, buffer sizes and so on. I've tried muting and disabling all extraneous tracks that I don't absolutely need for recording. If I start a new project, create an audio track there's no latency. The only workaround I've found so far is to bounce the project to an MP3, load that into a new project, record what's needed and then load the new recording back into the original project. Today I did some googling and found that logic has a low latency mode that disables certain plug ins which works but the only thing it disabled was the reverb I have on a vocal bus the I need cuz I'm recording vocals so that wont work for me. Rebooting doesn't help either. I use the Focusrite 2i2 btw. I don't use direct monitoring cuz I route the output of the focusrite to a headphone amp so I can get a bit more volume but if I plug my headphones into the focusrite with direct monitoring on it doesn't help either. I did not try deleteing the preferences file yet as is suggested in Logic support. here are screen shots of my preferences.
