Join regions in the Tracks area

You can join untransposed audio regions, and join MIDI regions. Regions from audio Apple
Loops, and audio regions that have been transposed, can’t be joined.

When joining audio regions, the regions must be adjacent to each other on the same track. If you
join segments of compressed audio files, the files are converted to AIFF format. Audio regions are
joined nondestructively. Logic Pro creates a new file for the joined audio (called a mixdown) that
replaces the original regions. The new audio file is stored on your hard disk and is added to the
Project Audio Browser.

single region is created on each of the tracks from the regions selected on that track.
