Loop regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area
You can loop regions so that they play repeatedly, and extend them to fill any amount of
musical time in the Tracks area. When you play the project, the region repeats the number
of times you have extended (looped) it.
You can also loop a region that has been resized. When you loop a resized region, only
the visible portion of the region repeats when you play the project. If you add silence by
lengthening a region, the silence is included in each repetition when you loop it.
Loop a region
1. In Logic Pro, place the pointer over the upper-right edge of the region.
The pointer becomes a Loop pointer.
2. Drag the right edge of the region until it aligns with the point where you want it to stop
playing.
As you drag the edge of the region, “notches” appear at the top and bottom of the
region, showing the beginning and end of each complete repetition.
Note: When track automation curves are visible in the Tracks area, in some cases the Loop
pointer may not be shown when you place the pointer over the edge of a region. In this
case, you can press and hold the Option key while placing the pointer over the upper-right
edge to loop the region.
Loop a region continuously
• In Logic Pro, select the region, then select the Loop checkbox in the Region inspector.
The region loops continuously until the start of the next region in the track, or until the end
of the project. You can unloop the region by deselecting the Loop checkbox, or by pressing
L again.
