Editing Regions

Moving Regions

In the Arrange window, the Pointer tool can be used to move Regions onto other tracks,
or to other positions.

To move a Region in the Tutorial song:

1

Choose the Pointer in the Toolbox.

2

Position the cursor over the middle area of a Region. When it changes to a hand with
five outstretched fingers (see figure below), click once, hold the mouse button, and
drag the Region to the desired position.

To move multiple Regions simultaneously:

1

Click-hold the mouse button, and rubber-band select the “HiHat” and “Boom” MIDI
Regions: (near the end of the arrangement).

2

Once all are highlighted, grab and drag them four measures (bars) to the right. Make
use of the position display on the help tag (shown during this operation) as your
reference. It should read 25 1 1 1 when you release the mouse button.

Important:

You should always refer to the help tags appearing when carrying out any

of the following operations in Logic: move, copy or cut/divide. This will help you when
editing and arranging, and can aid in avoiding disastrous mistakes (also see the Undo
section below).

The help tags automatically appear
whenever you are performing an edit.
