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 main elements of the Tracks area include:
Tracks area menu bar: Contains buttons for showing different views of the Tracks area, function buttons for editing regions, the Snap menu, and a More button.
Ruler: Shows bars, beats, and other divisions of time. The time divisions shown change depending on the zoom level of the Tracks area. You can align items in the Tracks area to specific musical positions using the time divisions in the ruler.
Playhead: The thin vertical line extending from the top to the bottom of the Tracks area, the playhead shows the part of the project currently playing or where playback starts. You can use the playhead to help align regions and other items and for editing tasks, such as splitting regions.
Track headers: Each track has a header that shows the track number and icon and includes controls for muting and soloing the track, enabling the track for recording, and other functions.
Tracks: All regions in the project appear on horizontal lanes called tracks, aligned to time positions in a grid. This is the primary area for recording and arranging regions, loops, and other material.
