To set locators with a marquee selection:

m

Choose the Region > Set Locators by Regions function (or key command).

This sets the locators to the marquee selection boundaries, rather than the whole
region.

To remove all parts of regions outside the marquee selection:

Use the Crop Regions outside Marquee Selection key command.

This removes all unselected areas from regions which are partly marquee-selected.

Adding and Recording Regions

It goes without saying that adding and recording regions is essential for song creation.
Given the extensive region and file import options available, and the advanced
recording techniques possible with Logic Pro, please refer to the following chapters:
