40 Chapter 4 Editing Regions
Copying Regions
In the Arrange window, you can use the Pointer tool to copy MIDI and Audio Regions.
The procedure is quite similar to moving Regions.
To copy one or more Regions:
1 Select one or more Tutorial song Regions (using the rubber-band or shift-click methods
discussed earlier).
2 Press and hold the Option key while moving these Regions to a new position, and
release the mouse button. A copy of the Regions is placed at the target position. These
newly-created Regions retain the names of the originals, with the text “*copied” added
to the end of the name.
Note: You can decide whether or not this extension should appear in the Region’s
name by opening the Logic > Preferences > Global > Editing preferences dialog. Click in
the checkbox to the left of the Add Last Edit Function to Region Name option if you want
a description of any edit operations to appear on edited Regions. If not, uncheck the
box.
Note: Remember to keep an eye on the displayed help tag while copying Regions! If
something goes wrong, or you decide to reverse the copy operation, you can use the
Undo function (or Undo History) to do so.
Cutting Regions
You can use the Scissors tool to cut a Region.
To do so:
1 Select the Scissors tool from the Toolbox. This will change the appearance of the mouse
cursor to a pair of scissors.
2 Click-hold on the last “Kick” MIDI Region in the ES1 2 track, and move the mouse left or
right. While doing so, constantly refer to the displayed help tag.
3 When position 24 1 1 1 is reached, release the mouse button. This will cut the selected
Region(s) at the beginning of bar 24.
4 Following the cut, you could delete the last bar with the Eraser tool, or by pressing the
Backspace key. This will wipe out the kick drum upbeat in the last measure.
You can also divide multiple selected Regions simultaneously this way. Give it a try, and
reverse the results with the Undo function.
