From the Toolbar, select Settings > Audio and enable the Playback Pre-roll function.
Transients which fall exactly on the start position will play back correctly.
Pre-roll time is dependent on the current delay compensation value for plug-ins.

Click on the Snap Drop-down Menu at the top right of the Arrange area..
Select the Grid value to snap to (e.g. Beat) and check the option to Snap Automation
Automation Edits always snap to Absolute Value regardless of the ‘Snap to Absolute Value’ status.
* This is especially useful when performing edits, if previously, you have written Automation Data via Touch or Latch modes on the fly and need events to trigger precisely on the beat. Bypass or Solo are good examples.

1) With the Tempo Track visible, set locators to fit the Tempo Changes that you want to copy, beginning at the first tempo change and ending at the last tempo change… (in the example below there is a tempo change at every 1/16 note position from bar 129 to bar 161).
2) Click on the Tempo Track Header (Mouse Tool changes to Hand ‘Grabber’) to SELECT the Tempo Changes inside Continue reading »

Here’s a handy real-time arrange application of this function for dropping in regions or notes right on the Song Position the Line (SPL) while in cycle mode or normal play mode.

Moves a Region Selection to begin at the exact location of the Song Position Line in the Arrange Window.
1) In the Transport Window, enter the bar position where the selected regions will begin. The Song Position Line jumps to this location.
2) Activate the Pickup Clock (Move Event to Playhead) Key Command. Mine is set to ; (semicolon).
3) All selected regions are moved with the first one located exactly on the Song Position Line.
4) You can also customize the Toolbar with a Pickup Clock icon. Right (control) click on the Toolbar and choose ‘Customize Toolbar’. You will see the Pickup Clock Icon, so just drag it on to the Toolbar and close the Customize window.

Scenario:
Working on a pattern based project where regions are in looped format (not real copies or aliases) and Track Automation Data creates the variation.
You want to delete several bars halfway through the Arrangement and you’ve tested the transition by jumping forward using skip cycle. ( To Make a Skip Cycle Selection:Drag a selection from the end point to the start point in the Bar Ruler).
As it stands you can’t delete the selected bar section because all these regions are ‘ghosted’ (activated from the Loop option in the Inspector’s Region Parameter box).
1) First you have to convert the loops over to copies (or aliases).
This is achieved by Continue reading »
When a region’s length and groove are determined via multiple tempo changes, all tempo changes must be accommodated for in every region repetition to playback properly.
For example, I mapped multiple tempo changes to create a MIDI region that has a funky Continue reading »

This is something that really ought to be an option in the Transport Bar, but isn’t!
Especially useful when working on Movie Projects or Time sensitive Audio only projects.
The work around is quick & easy. So here it is.
1. QUICK ACCESS To see a region’s START Time and LENGTH
Change the Bar Ruler to display Units in Time by pressing Shift+R (or by clicking on the Clock icon at the top right of the Arrange Pane).
With the Arrow Tool, Click and hold down on a Region to view the Yellow Help Tag.
The Tag displays the Region Name, Start Point and Length in SMPTE format.
2. TO DISPLAY TIME IN Ms (Milliseconds) INSTEAD OF FRAMES
THIS IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL WHEN WORKING ON AUDIO ONLY PROJECTS.
Click the LOGIC PRO Menu and choose Continue reading »
