Update Arrange Position

Edit > Update Arrange Position, when engaged, means that altering the Region start

point (or, more specifically, the Anchor position) in the Sample Editor also affects the

position of the Region in the Arrange window. This ensures that the position of a given

audio Region stays at the same place in the arrangement. When moving the Region

start point back, the remaining portion of the Region will start playback at a later

position.

Such edits have always been possible with Logic—but you needed to alter the start

point of the Region in the Arrange window. The Update Arrange Position option allows

you to make these edits more precisely in the Sample Editor, without changing the

position of audio in the Arrange. This is dependent on the Region start and Anchor

points being set to the beginning of the audio file (so that dragging the Region

startpoint also drags the Anchor).

This is the most common scenario: Anchor and Region start are always at the

beginning of the audio file, whenever you record audio or add an audio file. Moving

the Region start also moves the Anchor, as the Anchor can not precede the Region’s

start position.

• If Update Arrange Position is engaged, moving the Anchor won’t change the audible

result. The movement of the Anchor in the Sample Editor and the new position in the

Arrange are automatically compensated for. Moving the Region start in the Sample

Editor will lead to the same result as dragging the Region startpoint in the Arrange

window. This is the default setting.

• If Update Arrange Position is disabled, moving the Anchor changes the position of

audio Regions in the Arrange window.

Functions

This section describes various Sample Edit window functions that are ideal for polishing

audio recordings. You can use these to add the finishing touches to your work.

Each of the commands only affects the currently selected portion of audio. If you want

to use them to alter the whole audio file, use the Select All function beforehand.

All of the functions described in this section are destructive, and change the files stored

on your hard drive. You can, of course, use the Undo function.

As the Undo function in the Sample Editor works independently of the rest of the

program, you can try out an edit in the Arrangement and make changes there. As soon

as you open the Sample Editor again (or bring it into the foreground), the Undo

function is available for the last destructive sample edit.
