Starting Overview Calculation manually

Occasionally, when loading/importing audio files, you may need to perform a manual

overview calculation (if the audio files don’t contain overview data). You can start the

overview calculation of selected files with Audio File > Refresh Overviews.

Controlling the Overview Calculation

The calculation of audio file overview data is shown in a float window. This calculation

occurs in the background, allowing you to continue working with Logic.

You can position this float window anywhere. The most recently used position is saved

in the Preferences.

Double-clicking this window opens a dialog box that offers the following options:

• If you stop the calculation by clicking Abort, you can still play the audio file—but it

will not be easy to edit without an overview!

• Continue performs the overview calculation in the background, as per usual.

• Clicking Finish transfers the calculation to the foreground, speeding it up

considerably. The disadvantage is that you can’t use your Mac for anything else, until

the overview calculation is finished.

Operation

Selection Techniques

There are several different ways of selecting audio files and Regions in the Audio

window.

To select a single item, either click its name in the list, or on the waveform display.

Shift-clicking allows the selection of several items, even if they aren’t adjacent to one

another. You can also “rubber band” select multiple adjacent files in the list.

To select all items, use Edit > Select All (Command-A).

You can also use the up/down cursor keys to select the upper/lower audio file or group,

and the left/right cursor keys to show/hide the waveform display.
