Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 375)

To assign regions the name of their parent track
1 Select the track name in the track list.
All regions on the track are automatically selected.
2 Choose Region > Name Regions by Tracks/Channel Strips (or use the corresponding key
command, default assignment: Shift-Option-N) in the Arrange area.
The track name is assigned to all selected regions.
Assigning Colors to Regions
Color is useful for identifying sections of your arrangement, or particular track types.
Newly recorded or added regions initially adopt the color of the track channel strip.
By default:
• Audio channel strips are blue.
• Software instrument channel strips are green.
• ReWire and external MIDI channel strips are red.
• Auxiliary, Input, and Output channel strips are yellow.
To change the color of one or more regions
1 Select the regions (drag to select or Shift-click, for example).
Note: If you select all regions on a particular track, and no regions on other tracks are
selected, coloring them alters the hue of all selected regions. This also changes the color
of the selected track’s channel strip.
2 Open the Color palette by doing one of the following:
• Click the Colors button in the Arrange toolbar.
• Choose View > Colors in the Arrange area (or use the Open Color Palette key command,
default assignment: Option-C).
3 Click a color.
4 If you want to create a custom color:
a Double-click any color square in the Color palette to open the Colors window.
b Create a custom color using the color wheel and contrast and opacity sliders.
