Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 352)

The Audio Bin tab is ideal for quickly adding files to the Arrange area, as it doesn’t obscure
your workspace. A bar is shown for each audio file, which represents the overall length
of the file. A colored area within the bar represents the region length. Tasks such as
resizing or moving regions within the audio file cannot be performed in the Audio Bin
tab. If you need to make these types of adjustments, use the Audio Bin window.

The Audio Bin window, which can be freely resized, displays audio files as waveform
graphics. Regions within audio files are highlighted. Further file details, including the full
file path, are shown in the Audio Bin window. Also displayed is the Options menu, which
contains the Strip Silence command.
In short:
• The Audio Bin tab is best-suited to tasks such as adding audio files and regions while
creating your arrangement.
• The Audio Bin window is your first port of call for audio file and region management
tasks.
