Snapping Region Edits to Time Positions

You move and resize regions in the Arrange area because you want them to start and
end at a specific point in time. For example, in a music-based project, you may want to
align the start points of regions with measures and beats.

Logic Pro offers a snap feature that automatically aligns region start and end points to a
selected grid value, when you move or resize them.

Tip: Turn on the View > Grid item in the Arrange area’s local menu bar, as this will help
you to visualize how the Snap pop-up menu items automatically align regions to specific
grid positions.
