7 Press Stop when you’re done.
To select the best take:
1 Press Play, and use the Mute tool, to audition the individual takes, one by one.
Once you’ve decided on a favorite take, simply delete the unwanted takes by clicking
on the corresponding tracks in the Track List. Once selected, use the Track > Delete
menu option repeatedly, until all unwanted tracks are removed.
2 If you accidentally delete the good take, don’t forget the Undo function.
Saving the Song
To save the Tutorial song, featuring your new solo:
1 Choose File > Save As.
2 Enter a new name—not “Tutorial”—for the song to be saved as in the ensuing file
dialog. This way, you will save a copy and retain the original version for further
experimentation.
Note: The File > Save as Project menu option allows you to also save songs as Projects in
Logic. Projects provide intelligent management of all additional files that are associated
with a song. More information regarding Projects can be found in the Onscreen Help
system and/or the Logic reference.

everything from simple melody lines to full symphonic scores to be transcribed. A
detailed description of the Score Editor can be found in the Logic reference.
