Control playback with the waveform overview
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• Click and hold at the point where you want playback to begin. The pointer turns into a
Previewicon. Release the mouse button to stop playback.
• Double-click at the point where you want playback to begin.
Scrub audio
• In Logic Pro, click and hold the ruler and move the pointer.
Audio playback follows the speed and direction of your pointer. This technique helps you to
quickly locate a particular position within an audio file.
Repeat the selected area continuously
1. Click the Cycle button.
2. Click the Preview button (or use the Play/Stop Selection key command, Option-
Spacebar).
You can change the start and end points of the selected area during looped playback, to
create a perfect drum loop cycle, for example. When you’re satisfied with the loop, you can
make the selected area a new region.
