When Advanced Editing is selected in Advanced preferences, the following are available:
•
“SmartLoop handling of Scissors and ‘Split by Playhead’” checkbox: Determines how Logic Pro
handles the cutting of looped regions.
•
When selected, you can cut a region’s looped area (using the Scissors or Marquee tool,
or Split by Playhead command). Logic Pro automatically creates regions after—and, if
necessary, before—the cut, ensuring that these areas remain identical. This allows you to
split looped regions without altering playback in the looped area.
•
When unselected, you can’t cut a region’s looped area. Cutting the looped region itself turns
off the Loop setting in the Region inspector.
•
Right Mouse Button pop-up menu: Determines the right mouse button behavior (assuming you
have a suitable mouse).
•
Is Assignable to a Tool: Displays a third Tool menu (Right-click Tool menu) to the right of the
Left-click and Command-click Tool menus. Choose the appropriate menu item to assign to
the tool, which is available when the right mouse button is pressed while editing.
•
Opens Tool Menu: Opens the Tool menu with the Pointer tool (and not the currently selected
tool) located under the pointer. Simply choose the tool you want by clicking it. When the
Tool menu is open, you can also use the key shown next to a tool to select it.
•
Opens Shortcut Menu: Displays a menu that offers a number of area-specific selection and
editing commands.
•
