Copying Regions

Regions can be replicated, allowing their use at other points in your project. An alternative to copying are the looping options, and the creation of alias MIDI regions, or clone audio regions. The looping options are discussed shortly. Details on alias and clone regions can be found in the Logic user manual.

To copy a region, do one of the following:

mSelect the Pointer tool, and click on the desired region, then choose Edit > Copy (default key command: Command-C).

The region is temporarily stored in the Clipboard, ready for pasting (see below).

mSelect the Pointer tool, and Option-drag the desired region to the left or right, while keeping an eye on the help tag.

When the desired position is shown in the help tag, release the mouse button, and a copy of the region will be created at this position.

Use the rubber band or Shift-click options to select multiple regions, then Option-drag any of the selected regions to copy them all (or use the Edit > Copy command).

To paste a cut or copied region from the Clipboard:

1Click at the desired paste (target) position in the lower part of the Bar ruler. The playhead will move to the clicked position.

2Choose the target track lane by clicking on a track name (skip this step if the copied region is already on the selected track lane).

3Choose Edit > Paste (or use the default key command: Command-V) to paste the Clipboard contents (the copied region) at the playhead position—on the target track lane.

Tip: The (right-click) shortcut menu also offers the Paste command. You must ensure that no regions are selected in the Arrange before right-clicking, or the Paste command will not be available.
