Advanced recording commands in Logic Pro
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can use
several advanced commands to speed up the recording process:
Record/Record Toggle: Use to stop recording but to continue playback. Use it again to
resume recording from the playhead position.
Record/Record Repeat: Use to delete the recording, move the playhead back to the
recording start position, and start recording again.
Discard Recording and Return to Last Play Position: Use to delete the recording and
move the playhead back to the last play position. Unlike Record/Record Repeat, you
need to manually begin a new recording, using any Record command.
