• Track list: This is where you set the destination channel strip for playback of the MIDI
or audio regions on each horizontal track lane. The headers of each track list lane can
display the track name, icon, and several track buttons.
Using the Toolbar
The toolbar appears at the top of the Arrange window and contains buttons for frequently
used commands. It can be displayed or hidden by clicking the button in the top-right
corner of the Arrange window.
The toolbar can be customized to include buttons that show the Inspector, Media, and
Lists areas, create new tracks, add audio files, and other common functions. For more
information, see
Customizing the Arrange Toolbar .
Using the Transport Bar
The Transport bar spans the entire lower edge of the Arrange window. You can use it to
move through your project and start recording. It contains buttons that will be immediately
familiar if you’ve used a tape recorder or CD/DVD player, such as Play, Rewind, Pause,
and so on. The Transport bar also incorporates a number of features that simplify tasks
you will perform in Logic Pro, such as recording over a repeatedly cycled section, or
listening to a part in isolation.
The Transport bar consists of three parts:
Display area Transport buttons Mode buttons
• Transport buttons: Used to navigate your project.
• Display area: Provides information that helps with project navigation.
• Mode buttons: Enable advanced recording and playback functions.
You can alter the Transport bar by adding or removing buttons and displays, providing
faster access to the functions you need most often. You can also open an independent
SMPTE or Bar display window. For more information, see
Hiding or Showing the Transport
Bar .
