Add and delete audio les
When you add an audio le to your project, Logic Pro automatically creates a region that
encompasses the entire le length. You can create as many regions as you like from the same
audio le. There are no length limitations to regions, as long as they don’t exceed the length of
the source audio le. Creating multiple regions from the same audio le is benecial for many
tasks—using dierent portions of a vocal take that spans the length of the project, for example.
You can delete audio regions and audio les in the Project Audio Browser. In addition to deleting
unused audio les, you can also delete unused portions of audio les. This usually frees up a lot
of space on the hard disk.
