108 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
Deleting MIDI Regions
You can delete all selected MIDI Regions by clicking on them with the Eraser tool, or by
pressing Backspace. You can also delete any non-selected MIDI Region by clicking on it
with the Eraser.
Retrieving Deleted MIDI Regions
Should you accidentally delete a MIDI Region, you can restore it by selecting Edit >
Undo (Command-Z) immediately after making the error.
Drag Menu
Before looking at moving and editing Regions in the following sections, we’d like to
cover the Drag pull-down menu. It allows you to set preferences for edits that you may
perform on Regions within the Arrange window.
The Drag pull-down menu provides: No Overlap, Overlap and X-Fade modes. These are
all audio editing modes that alter the behavior of Audio Regions when different
operations are performed:
• X-Fade mode will automatically crossfade two Regions when they are moved to an
overlapping position.
• No Overlap is used in situations where you don’t want Regions to overlap. In this
mode, the first Region (the one positioned earlier on the track) will be “clipped”
(shortened) so that no overlap occurs.
• Overlap mode will preserve the original Region borders, even when you move
Regions to overlapping positions. This was the standard mode of earlier Logic
versions.
Note: The Drag menuis also available in several other editors.
