Apple 8 manual Editing Regions, Muting Tracks, Soloing Tracks, To mute multiple tracks

Muting Tracks

You can click on a track’s Mute button to stop the track (and therefore all regions on the track lane) from playing. The button turns blue when active.

To mute multiple tracks:

mClick-hold the Mute button of one track, and drag the mouse up or down. The Mute buttons of all swiped tracks will switch to the same state.

Soloing Tracks

Both MIDI and audio tracks offer Solo buttons. Soloing a track isolates it while playing—and mutes all other tracks. The button turns yellow when active.

To quickly solo multiple tracks:

mClick-hold the Solo button of one track, and drag the mouse up or down (over the Solo buttons of other tracks).

The Solo buttons of all swiped tracks will switch to the same state.

Editing Regions

The following region editing operations cover the basics needed to create an arrangement. Logic also features a number of advanced functions that allow you to move, cut, and replicate entire sections (such as a verse or chorus) of your project. More information can be found in the Logic user manual.

Important: Take care that only one region is selected when resizing, cutting, and so on—if you intend to alter this region alone. If multiple regions are highlighted, they will all be equally changed in length, or cut at the same position.
