Replace audio recordings in Logic Pro for Mac
You can record over an existing audio recording, or a portion of it, replacing the original recording with the new recording. You do this by recording in Replace mode. In Replace mode, any audio regions from when you start recording until the end of recording will be erased, even if nothing is played.
You can access the Replace pop-up menu by clicking and holding (or right-clicking) the Replace button in the control bar or in the Recording Settings pane.
Note: You can also replace software instrument recordings. For information on replacing MIDI recordings, see replace software instrument recordings.
When Enable Complete Features is selected in Logic Pro > Settings > Advanced, Replace recording is available.
