Duplicate tracks, Logic Pro X Help.Problems Logic pro X - can't drag or duplicate audio regions -
I can not move audio regions from one track to another, and I can't duplicate audio regions neither. Here I filmed my screen while trying: audio editing problems logic pro x - YouTube I also don't get the trim tool when I hold the cursor in the bottom right corner of a region, and loop tool is being a pain too I can only pull the loop out one time, but then I can't change the lenght Apart from this I am pretty excited over the new Logic, the software stuff, the arpeggiator, all cool.
But, man these basic stuff needs to function! Would be deeply thankful for assistance, as I wasted my whole day trying to figure this out.
My Studio. I got this answer on the apple forum. Now I got it. In your video you are attempting to move the entire contents of a summing track stack, but if you want to move or copy any of the actual regions inside of your track stack you need to open the track stack first in order to access them. This also answers my question about the missing trim-tool. Still is a bit annoying to get used to track stacks, but I guess they will prove to have a function at some point.
It looks like Pro Tools got it right once they actually got around to implemented comping. I miss PT every time I work with take folders. I wonder when somebody will bring comping to MIDI though. Edit: Looks like your problem was moving audio from track stacks and not take folders.
Cutting a portion of the start of Take region in the Audio Cell editor no longer removes the same section from other takes in the Take folder. Fixes an issue where edits applied to individual Takes in the Live Loops Cell editor are occasionally applied to the Take folder.
Pattern cells in the Live Loops grid can now be reliably deleted after performing Undo in the Step Editor. Live Loops cell recording behavior is no longer affected by the cell playback mode.
Live Loops cells created by dragging a marquee selection of audio regions to the grid now play back in sync and at the correct tempo.
When a flexed cell is copied to an empty track, the track now reliably switches to the flex mode of the copied cell. Cell or scenes in the Live Loops grid can no longer be inadvertently dragged when tools other than the pointer are assigned. Pattern cells in the Live Loops grid now reliably continue to respond to automation after a cycle jump.
When non-crossfaded regions overlap in a Live Loops cell, the first region now stops playing when the second begins. The Live Loops grid now automatically scrolls to show scenes selected using the Previous or Next Scene key commands. Fades on reversed cells are now rendered properly when a Performance recording is created. It is now possible to stop and retrigger an individual cell without stopping playback entirely.
Scrubbing in the Sampler zone editor is now possible when the Loop Range encompasses the entire sample. In Sampler or Quick Sampler a Mod Matrix slot can now be created by right- or Control-clicking a target parameter and choosing a source.
Sampler now retains the view of modules configured by the user when re-opening the plug-in window. An audio file dragged to a Zone in an empty instance of Sampler is now immediately displayed in the Zone editor. Sampler now reliably loads the correct settings for bundled instruments. Performing Undo after inserting a Slice marker in Quick Sampler while zoomed in no longer causes the view to unexpectedly zoom out.
Exchanging a sample in a gain-optimized Zone now optimizes the gain for the newly added sample. The maximum zoom in the Sampler Zone Key editor has been increased. When working in Slice mode in Quick Sampler, the active slice marker is now displayed on top of the sample start marker.
Multiple clicks in an empty zone panel in Sampler no longer triggers multiple file load dialogs. There is now a Preview audio button in all modes in the Quick Sampler window. There is now a command in the Sampler Zone edit panel to add a new zone. Selections made in the Zone list are now maintained when the cursor is moved into the Waveform display area.
The waveform in the Sampler Zones panel now updates when switching zones with the keyboard while in Round Robin mode. Dragging a stereo file to the Track Header to create a Quick Sampler instrument no longer creates a mono instance.

The accuracy of slice positions in Quick Sampler is improved. Edit Key Labels in Sampler now works as expected. Resolves an issue in which it was sometimes not possible to drag an audio file to a position between two existing Zones, even if there was room. The Save As command in Sampler no longer overwrites the original instrument preset. Sampler now plays audio files on which Undo has been performed after editing in the Audio File editor.
Sampler now successfully loads EXS instruments with filenames longer than 57 characters. The volume of Quick Sampler presets is now more consistent when Optimize Gain is enabled. Loop data written into audio files by Sampler or Quick Sampler is now used when the files are loaded as Original into new instances of Sampler or Quick Sampler. Zones now play back edits performed on their audio files in Audio File editor.
Sampler now automatically finds all missing files in a folder once the first missing file in that folder has been located. The volume setting for newly created Zones is now consistently 0 dB.
Apple Loops edited in Quick Sampler are now copied to the Project folder as expected. Canceling a Zone per File import in Optimized mode now instantly stops the operation. Auto Split when creating an Optimized Sampler instrument now works reliably with short, percussive sounds. The accuracy of detection has been improved for audio recordings that contain soft transients or short duration fundamental frequencies when creating optimized Sampler instruments using Split at Silence.
Key labels entered into Sampler now appear immediately in the Piano Roll. Fades are now immediately displayed on the waveform in Sampler and Quick Sampler. Closing the Step Sequencer editor while it is playing back no longer leads to stuck notes. Fixes an issue where adding a Pattern region in a new project and enabling Learn occasionally creates a large number of unexpected new rows.
The playhead now displays at the correct position in the Step Sequencer editor Pattern regions that contain cells with left border offsets. All rows in copied pattern regions now play reliably.
VoiceOver no longer announces audio regions as muted when they are on tracks with no output assigned. VoiceOver now announces the number of record-enabled tracks when the Track Header group is selected. It is now possible to access the Logic Pro legacy plug-ins using VoiceOver.

Performing Undo after exchanging one sample for another on a Drum Machine Designer pad now correctly reassigns the previous sample. The Drum Machine Designer window is no longer hidden behind the Main window after a sample is added to a pad and then the Main window is clicked. It is now possible to map Drum machine Designer pads to the C-2 note. To create a fade, click and drag across the two clips and adjust the boundaries if needed. Listen to the transition to see if the two clips flow seamlessly.
Finally, add the smallest possible fade to the start and end of the entire track, around 10 samples long. Because the last few seconds of music were cut and put at the start, the end of the music should now perfectly loop back to the beginning. You can test this by creating a loop region over the entire piece of music and listening to how it sounds.
To create a loop region, click and drag across the thin strip above the editing timeline where the bar numbers are. This will create a yellow highlighted area which you can adjust to cover the whole track. Play the music back to see how the end of the piece loops back to the start—there shouldn't be any pops or clicks. If the transition in the loop still sounds noticeable, you can try adding a reverb tail. To do this, take the few seconds of music from the end and move them to the beginning as you did in step two, but this time, place them on a separate track.
In an empty plugin slot, add a Reverb to this audio snippet and adjust the settings to match the music. Next, add a few tiny fades at the transition point, where the two tracks meet; one at the end of the snippet and one at the beginning of the original audio.
Listen through to see how it sounds, and once you are happy with the results, bounce the whole piece of music out. The added reverb tail over the transition point will help mask any noticeable differences. Looping music is just one component of composing music for video games; read our introduction to making music for games if you want to learn more.
To do this, you just need to add a crossfade between the two clips. Select the Fade Tool located in the thin strip above the editing timeline. Next, you will want to zoom in on the point where the two clips meet using the Horizontal Zoom slider at the top right of the editing timeline. To create a fade, click and drag across the two clips and adjust the boundaries if needed.

Great for drums but lately I've been using a single stack for guitars throughout the song but splitting up the parts on different tracks within the stack. So versus have their tracks, chorus theirs, etc.. This depends on the player, if they can knock it out all in in one go with a few overdubs I might not roll this way but even then it's nice.
Being able to mix the mics differently for each part, automate within the stack just on certain areas. Being able to collapse all that into a single track for mixing is the best.
