Select audio in the Audio File Editor in Logic Pro for Mac

• In Logic Pro, choose Edit > Select All (or press Command-A).

• In Logic Pro, click and hold the start or end of the area you want to select in the waveform display, then drag to the right or left.

  

  The start point and length are displayed (as sample words) in a help tag while you make your selection.

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

• Choose Edit > Select All Previous (or use the corresponding key command).

• Choose Edit > Select All Following (or use the corresponding key command).

• In Logic Pro, select a region in the Browser or main window, then choose Edit > Region → Selection.

This function is useful if you want to reselect the entire region for cycled playback—after performing a number of edits, for example.

The reverse can also be done, allowing you to redefine the length of an existing region by choosing Edit > Selection → Region.

You can modify selections by changing their start or end point, or you can move the entire selected area completely.

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

• Shift-click in the waveform display to move the start or end point.

• Press and hold Shift as you drag the start or end point of the selected area in the waveform display.

Using either method, the proximity of your click—to the start or end of the selected area—determines whether you change the start or end point boundary. The closest one wins.

You can move the whole selection to the left or right without changing its length.

1. In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

   • Option-click the selection.

   • Click the selection with the Move tool.

2. Drag left or right.

When you move the selected area, the pointer or Move tool turns into a two-headed arrow.
