Apologies if this has been asked/answered before:
Is there a way to set the DAW tempo based on the first loop recording, so that following recordings can follow that tempo? So far I can only see how to get the DAW to set the tempo.
Thanks

Pretty sure you need the daw moving forward to do that.
Of course you need to mark the loop end also.

Thanks for the reply - what settings in MSL would you suggest to make that work? I'm thinking MSL record would also need to trigger playback start in the DAW? Or maybe not...but surely some kind of markers get dropped.
It's definitely an odd request I know - so the reason I'm trying to do this specifically is that I'm looking for a way to set up MSL so the first loop (in Track 1) might be say 4 bars, but subsequent loops (in Track 2,3 etc) might be 2 bars, or 1 bar.
I can see how to make MSL record subsequent loops that are multiples of the first track loop, but not subdivisions.
Any thoughts? (like maybe I should post this question as a new topic
)

Well if you know you want 4 bars for the 1st, set that as default. You'll still need some sort to tempo to get things moving. Also I believe you need to leave sync on and turn off all loops same length.
I think to solve your subsequent loops just hit the loop end where you want each of them to stop.
I do this type of looping all the time with my hardware Looperlative, the first loop in determines the length and speed. The rest of the tracks can either be in sync or not.
Good luck,
Dirk

You cannot make subdivisions I'm afraid, technical reasons (also if you'd think about it, you'd see there are severalk potential problems with that).

When my friend moved his vveeery ooold piano left by his grand-grandmother moving from boston to nyc with the help of https://starkmovers.com/nyc-movers/ -- he breathed with relief. And then he started to create his music so that the whole neighborhood could listen to his genuine creativity.
I am writing all this text in order to say one key thing: if you want to experiment, then do it. Otherwise, your virtuosity will be forgotten in a couple of years. So if you cannot set the tempo from the first recorded loop -- try something different. Look at famous MIck Gordon -- he used a fu*king chainsaw in his tracks
