Cut and paste regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area
You can cut or copy regions in the Tracks area, and paste them at a different position.
You can also paste a copied region at the same time position, to double the content of
the region to use on another track. You can quickly double a region or cut it in half at its
existing location.
Cut a region
In Logic Pro, select the region, then choose Edit > Cut (or press Command-X).
Copy a region
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Select the region in the Tracks area, then choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C).
Option-drag the region.
When you copy an audio region, a new region is automatically created in the Project Audio
Browser. The new region retains the name of the original, followed by a sequential number.
For example, for a region named MyLoop, the first copy is MyLoop.1, the second copy is
MyLoop.2, and so on.
Paste the region
In Logic Pro, move the playhead to the point in the Tracks area where you want the
region to start, then choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
Paste a region at the same position as the copied region
In Logic Pro, select the track you want to paste the region into, then choose Edit > Paste
at Original Position (or use the corresponding key command).
The copied region is pasted into the selected track, at the same position as the source
region. This is useful if you want to copy a region to the same spot on a different track,
to independently process or thicken the part, for example. This function is also ideal for
creating layered MIDI or instrument parts.
Paste multiple copies of a region
1. In Logic Pro, select the region.
2. Choose Edit > Repeat Multiple from the Tracks area menu bar.
3. In the Repeat Regions dialog, do any of the following:
Enter the number of copies to paste in the Number of Copies field.
To have the copies snap to a particular grid value, choose a grid value from the
Adjustment pop-up menu.
To paste the copies as regions, click the As Copies radio button.
To paste the copies as clones (for audio regions) or aliases (for MIDI regions), click
the As Aliases or Clones radio button.
