Tracks area

You record and arrange audio and MIDI regions in a timeline-based format in the Tracks area, which occupies the central area of the Logic Pro interface. The Tracks area shows a visual representation of time moving from left to right. You build a project by arranging regions in rows called tracks that run horizontally across the Tracks area.

At the top of the Tracks area, the ruler shows units of time. You can position items in the Tracks area with the units on the ruler and snap regions and other items to the grid to precisely align them with bars, beats, or other time divisions.

The playhead moves across the Tracks area as the project plays, showing the point currently playing. You can drag the top of the playhead to move it to different points in the project.
