Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 139)

• Move Locators Backwards by Cycle Length and Move Locators Forward by Cycle
Length: Retains the existing cycle, but moves it to the left or to the right by the cycle
length. For example, if the cycle is 4 bars long, and spans bars 12 to 16, using the Move
Locators Backwards by Cycle Length command moves the cycle four bars to the left,
resulting in a cycle from bar 8 to 12.
• Cycle: Enables or disables repeated playback or recording over a project section. The
cycle boundaries are reflected (or set) by the left and right locator values.
• Autopunch: Enables or disables a recording start and end point. It is commonly used
in conjunction with the left and right autopunch locators to automatically record over
a particular project section. This method is often used to fix a mistake in a vocal or
instrumental recording.
• Set Punch In Locator by Playhead and Set Punch Out Locator by Playhead: Allow you to
use the current playhead position to define the punch in or punch out locator value.
• Replace: Enables a new recording to overwrite an existing recording.
• Solo: Only selected regions are played; all other regions are muted.
• Sync: Activate to synchronize Logic Pro with an external source (make Logic Pro the
synchronization slave to another device). Control-click or click-hold this button to open
the Synchronization menu.
• Click: Used to turn the Logic Pro internal metronome on and off. Control-click or
click-hold this button to open the Metronome menu.
• Master Volume: Click to display a volume slider at the right of the Transport bar. This
slider is directly tied to the Master channel strip in the Mixer, and acts as a master
volume control for all audio and software instrument tracks.
Using a Giant SMPTE or Bar Display
You can configure the Transport bar to display a giant SMPTE or bar display in place of
the standard Transport bar display area.

µ
Control-click (or right-click) the Transport bar display area, and choose Big Bar Display or
Big SMPTE Display, as required.
The Transport bar display area is replaced with the chosen big display.
Repeat the step above to return to the standard display.
