Convert Repetitions to Loops

If you have multiple, identical MIDI regions in sequence you can convert them to be a loop with multiple repeats.

If you copy an audio region and repeat it multiple times in a row you can convert them to be a loop. I’m not sure if this is useful or not.

Loop regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

You can loop regions so that they play repeatedly, and extend them to fill any amount of musical time in the Tracks area. When you play the project, the region repeats the number of times you have extended (looped) it.

  Unbeam Selected Notes    ⌃U

Remove the beam(s) from the selected notes. Makes each note independent.

Control beaming in the Logic Pro Score Editor — Apple Support

By default, a note’s stem direction and length depend on the settings in the Staff Style window. You can change these attributes to improve readability; for example, to group notes meant to be played as a voice in a polyphonic passage.

  Select Muted Channel Strips    ⇧M

Selects all muted channel strips.

Mute and solo channel strips in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can silence (mute) a channel strip so that you don’t hear it when you play the project. Muting channel strips is useful when you want to compare how the project sounds with and without the target track, compare alternative versions of a track, or try different loops in a project.

  Import Audio File…    ⇧⌘I

Add a new file to the project. I should experiment with deleting unused sections from audio files. I have lots of tracks that are less than 30% “populated”.

Add and delete audio files in Logic Pro — Apple Support

When you add an audio file to your project, Logic Pro automatically creates a region that encompasses the entire file length. You can create as many regions as you like from the same audio file. There are no length limitations to regions, as long as they don’t exceed the length of the source audio file. Creating multiple regions from the same audio file is beneficial for many tasks—using different portions of a vocal take that spans the length of the project, for example.

You can delete audio regions and audio files in the Project Audio Browser. In addition to deleting unused audio files, you can also delete unused portions of audio files. This usually frees up a lot of space on the hard disk.
