Navigating Your Project

Navigation—and playback—of Logic projects can be achieved in several ways: with the Transport, in the Bar ruler, or by using markers or locators. This section outlines some basic techniques that will help you to get around your projects. Further, advanced navigation topics are covered in the Logic user manual.

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 to start/stop recordings—using Play, Rewind, Pause, Record, and other buttons. The Transport bar also incorporates features that simplify tasks you will perform in Logic, such as recording over a continuously repeated section of your project, or listening to a part in isolation.

The Transport bar consists of the following areas:

ÂTransport buttons: Used to navigate your project.

ÂDisplay area: Provides information that helps with project navigation.

ÂMode buttons: Enable advanced recording and playback functions.

Note: The Master Level slider—which sets the master output volume level for the project—may be visible at the right-hand end of the Transport, if there’s enough horizontal screen space.

To start and stop playback:

1Simply click the Play button on the Transport (or use the default Play key command: Enter—on the numeric keypad of your computer keyboard), to play the project.

2Press the Stop button on the Transport to stop the project (or use the default Stop key command: “0” on the numeric keypad).

3To return to the beginning of the project, click the Stop button (or “0” key) again. Note: Alternatively, you can use the Space bar to toggle Start and Stop operations.
