In logic pro X when I drag a loop from the library into the arrange area only a couple of notes are copied across

In Logic try "Download Additional Content" which is in the Logic Pro pull down menu. I have read that to be an issue others were having and that to be a solution in regard to any of the content that came with your Logic Install. I am still on Yosemitie myself with reservations of migrating to El Capitan just yet.

Since you are just getting started, there are a TON of free MIDI files, audio samples and loops, and plug-ins out there.

Here are a few things you might find useful.

Also, check each site as they all have free content you can download as well.

Hi I have been using Logic X for about 6 months and suddenly had a problem using the library of loops (by which I mean the library of beats, samples, etc which can be dragged into the track arrange area from the library as audio files [blue symbol] or midi files [if that's the right terminology...? - with a green symbol] - when I drag a midi (green symbol) loop into the track arrange area I find that only the first one or two notes of the loop are copied across, regardless of whether the file is an 8 beat or 16 beats or whatever..........

This is a Known Bug in the current version of Logic. (known = Apple knows about it) Hopefully corrected in the next incremental release.
