Create tracks using drag and drop in Logic Pro for iPad
You can quickly create new tracks in Logic Pro for iPad by dragging items such as patches, regions, audio files, loops, or samples to different destinations. You can:
Drag an instrument or audio patch to the track header area to create a new track using the patch.
Drag a region or cell to the track header area to create a new sample-based instrument track using an audio bounce of the region or cell.
Drag a loop or sample to the track header area to create a new sample-based instrument track using the loop or sample.
Drag an audio file, loop, or sample to the Tracks area to create a new track containing a region created from the file, loop, or sample.
Drag multiple items to the track header area to create new empty tracks, and drag multiple items to the Tracks area to create new tracks containing the items as regions.
Dragging an audio or software instrument region or cell, an audio file, an Apple Loop, or a sample to the area below the track headers creates a new sample-based software instrument track. When you create a track by dragging one of these items, you can choose whether the track uses a Quick Sampler or Sample Alchemy instrument plug-in or a Drum Machine Designer track stack. When Quick Sampler is chosen, it uses the Optimized setting. When Sample Alchemy is chosen, it uses the Granular setting. When Drum Machine Designer is chosen, the material is analyzed to determine if it can be sliced. If so, a MIDI region is created that triggers the slices.
When you drag an audio or software instrument region or cell to the track header area to create a track, the region or cell is bounced to an audio file, which is then used by the chosen instrument plug-in on the new track (the bounce includes all effect plug-ins on the track containing the cell or region). When you drag an audio file, a loop, or a sample to the track header area to create a track, that item is used by the chosen instrument on the new track.
You can also create a new track by dragging an audio file, Apple Loop, or sample to the area below all existing tracks in the Tracks area. When you drag an audio file to the area below the existing tracks, an audio track is created. When you drag an Apple Loop, a track of the corresponding type (audio, software instrument, or Session Player) is created.
Create a track by dragging an audio or instrument patch to the track header area
In Logic Pro, drag an audio or instrument patch from the Browser to the area below all existing track headers in the track list.
A track of the corresponding type (audio or instrument) using the chosen patch is added below the existing tracks.
Create a track by dragging a region or cell to the track header area
In Logic Pro, touch and hold a region or cell, then drag it to the area below all existing track headers in the track list.
When the “Create new track with” dialog appears, tap the type of instrument you want to use for the new track.
An instrument track with the chosen instrument is added below the existing tracks.
Create a track by dragging a loop or sample to the track header area
In Logic Pro, touch and hold a loop or sample, then drag it to the area below all existing track headers in the track list.
When the “Create new track with” dialog appears, tap the type of instrument you want to use for the new track.
An instrument track with the chosen instrument is added below the existing tracks.
Create a track by dragging an audio file, loop, or sample to the Tracks area
Drag an audio file, loop, or sample from the Browser to the area below all existing tracks in the Tracks area.
A track of the corresponding type is added below the existing tracks, containing a region created from the audio file, loop, or sample.
