Basic Operations
The following chapter will introduce you to the basic operating, selection, and editing
techniques available in Logic Pro.
You will learn about input techniques, correcting errors, and a number of shortcuts and
features that will accelerate your workflow, and assist you while learning about
Logic Pro.
Using the Mouse
If you’re unfamiliar with mouse use in Logic Pro, which differs from mouse use in other
applications, the following section will be of use. It outlines how the mouse can be
used in Logic Pro. If you’re comfortable with mouse use in Logic Pro, skip ahead to the
next section.
Clicking
Place the mouse pointer on the element (region, event, button, menu, input field, and
so on) and press the mouse button once.
Double-Clicking
The same as clicking on an element, but you press the mouse button twice—in quick
succession. You can set a suitable interval between clicks in the System Preferences
(Keyboard & Mouse pane).
Grabbing or Clicking and Holding
The same as clicking on an element, but you keep the mouse button held down.
Moving or Dragging
Grab the element, and move the mouse (keeping the mouse button held down) to the
desired position.
Right-Clicking
The same as clicking, but you press the right mouse button, if available. This will open a
shortcut menu, open the toolbox, or select an assigned tool.
