38 Chapter 3 Creating Your Arrangement
Muting Tracks
You can click on a track’s Mute button to stop the track (and therefore all regions on
the track lane) from playing. The button turns blue when active.
To mute multiple tracks:
m Click-hold the Mute button of one track, and drag the mouse up or down.
The Mute buttons of all swiped tracks will switch to the same state.
Soloing Tracks
Both MIDI and audio tracks offer Solo buttons. Soloing a track isolates it while
playing—and mutes all other tracks. The button turns yellow when active.
To quickly solo multiple tracks:
m Click-hold the Solo button of one track, and drag the mouse up or down (over the Solo
buttons of other tracks).
The Solo buttons of all swiped tracks will switch to the same state.
Editing Regions
The following region editing operations cover the basics needed to create an
arrangement. Logic also features a number of advanced functions that allow you to
move, cut, and replicate entire sections (such as a verse or chorus) of your project.
More information can be found in the Logic user manual.
Important: Take care that only one region is selected when resizing, cutting, and so
on—if you intend to alter this region alone. If multiple regions are highlighted, they will
all be equally changed in length, or cut at the same position.
