You can edit comps by changing the start or end point of take sections, by moving a selected comp area to the left or right, or by alternating selected comp areas between takes. You should save a comp before editing it. Any subsequent changes automatically create a new comp.
In the Logic Pro Tracks area, do one of the following:
To extend a take section: Place the pointer over the start or end point of a take selection, then drag.
Extending a take selection (dragging the start point to the left or the end point to the right) shortens adjacent selections on other takes. Shortening a take selection (dragging the start point to the right or the end point to the left) extends adjacent selections on other takes. This ensures that you don’t create silence between take selections.
To shorten a take section: Place the pointer over the start or end point of a take selection, then Shift-drag.
Shortening a take selection (dragging the start point to the right or the end point to the left) does not extend adjacent selections on other takes. This allows you to create silence between take selections.
Note: If you have enabled Quick Swipe and Take Editing click zones in Logic Pro > Settings > General > Editing, make sure you place the pointer over the bottom half of the take region.
In the Logic Pro Tracks area, place the pointer over the center area of a take selection, then drag when the pointer changes to a two-headed arrow.
This action moves the selection, while at the same time extending or shortening any adjacent take selections.
Note: If you have enabled Quick Swipe and Take Editing click zones in Logic Pro > Settings > General > Editing, make sure you place the pointer over the bottom half of the take region.
In the Logic Pro Tracks area, click an unselected area of a take to make that particular area active and part of the comp.
The same area is automatically deselected in another take. This is a quick way to compare a section of two different takes.
Note: If you have enabled Quick Swipe and Take Editing click zones in Logic Pro > Settings > General > Editing, make sure you place the pointer over the bottom half of the take region.
In the Logic Pro Tracks area, Shift-click the take selection.
In the Logic Pro Tracks area, Shift-click the header area of the take.
If the take doesn’t contain any selections, all unselected areas in other takes are selected in the take you click.
