Capture Last Take

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think you understood my issue. Capture Last take is not Capture Last Take any longer. It’s Capture Last 20 Takes. The DAW only used to Capture the last bit you played on the keyboard I’ve been round and round with Apple but they seemed to be blind to the way it was and the way it is now or perhaps they feel they’ve improved it which is not the case. Even Protools now has Capture Last Take the way Logic used to work.

Thank you for trying! This is somewhat encouraging. Try the following process and see if CLT works. Hit play, play a sequence of notes on your controller. Hit stop, (Obviously don't play on the controller), hit play again, play a completely different sequence of notes and hit stop. Select Capture Last Take. On my system all the notes from both sequences will be there regardless of the preference settings, which only the notes from the last sequence you played should be captured. Perhaps try it several times back to back as if you're working on a part and you finally got something you like. Try it in the loop mode as well as stopping and starting. Historically I could do both without changing any prefs.

Edgar, Thanks so much. You‘re 100% correct regarding Capture Last Take. This started happening on my rig with a particular Logic update that I can’t remember at the moment, but Apple was able to help me revert back to the previous version, which I used for quite a while, avoiding all Logic updates until I had to do a fresh install on my computer and had to install the latest version of Logic. Capture Last Take has not worked correctly since. I‘m suspicious that my autoload, which I’ve used for well over a decade, is somehow playing a role. Oddly enough, my engineer is having the same issue on his rig. I need to find out if he’s using my autoload. Regarding my system, it’s a new Mac Pro. The problem originated on my previous Mac Pro. I certainly appreciate you and everyone‘s effort to help resolve this issue.

Well I've discovered it has something to do with previously assigned shortcuts. I started using Logic's shortcuts and CLT worked as it's supposed to. I've slowly started integrating my old shortcuts and so far so good. My brain is wired to the old shortcuts though so hopefully I'll be able to assess and report back the conflict. Reminds me when Apple removed command M from the shortcut options a few years back, which was my merge regions. 6 months later I was still minimizing the window and had to reopen. Thanks again for taking the time to experiment with this! Much appreciated.

your are also referring to Apple’s key commands. I have my own set (Autoload) that i’ve been using since Apple’s acquisition of Logic.

I‘m going to experiment with it today. I checked with my engineer and he is no longer using my autoload and has the same issue. Thanks again for trying!
