Chapter 2 Editing Enhancements 25
Loop Length Editing
The Loop feature of Logic has been enhanced with an easy to use Loop Length Editing
function.
To set the length of a looped Region:
1 Move the cursor to the end of the Region that you want to loop.
The cursor will change into a circular arrow (a loop) when positioned in the upper half
of the Region.
2 Click-hold and drag the end of the Region to the desired length.
Note: Whenever you move the cursor into the upper half of the looped area, it changes
to a circular arrow, allowing loop length changes. If you want to select the looped
Region (to move it, for example), click in the lower half of the looped area. You can also
Shift-click in the upper loop area to select the Region.
The cursor will only turn into the circular arrow (and offer the Loop Length Editing
functions) when the track is of sufficient height. If the track height is minimal, Option-
click on the end of the Region to access the Loop Length Editing function. This also
applies if automation data is visible on a track.
Important: Deactivation of the Region Loop parameter resets the loop length. The next
time the Loop parameter is used, the Region is repeated until it encounters another
Region on the same track or the Song End point is reached.
Creating Multiple Tracks
This facility, accessible via the Tracks > Create Multiple menu option in the Arrange
window (and corresponding key command), does exactly what it says. When selected, a
dialog box opens, allowing you to choose the:
 Driver: This pull-down menu allows you to select the audio hardware driver that you
wish to use for your newly-created tracks.
 Track Type: This pull-down menu allows you to choose between Audio, Audio
Instrument, and Auxiliary tracks.
 Number of Tracks: Type in the desired number of tracks. Eight (8) is the default.
