Add markers in Logic Pro for Mac

You can add a marker at any position in your project. When you create a marker, it can be rounded to the nearest quarter note, to the nearest bar, or not rounded.

You can use the Create Marker key commands to add markers during playback.

Add a marker rounded to the nearest quarter note

In the Logic Pro Marker track, do one of the following:

  • Place the playhead at the position where you want to create a marker, then click the Add Marker button .

  • Select the Pencil tool, then click where you want to add a marker.

    Figure. Creating a marker in the Marker track.

Add a marker rounded to the nearest bar

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • In the Marker List: Choose Options > Create.

  • In any workspace: Use the Create Marker key command.

A marker is added at the playhead position (if the playhead is aligned with a bar) or at the next bar position (if the playhead is between two bars). If a marker already exists at a bar position (or up to a quarter note before or after it), no new marker is created.

The length of the marker automatically extends to the start point of the next marker, or to the end of the project or folder, if no ensuing markers exist.

Add a marker without rounding

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • In the Marker List: Choose Options > Create Without Rounding.

  • In any workspace: Use the Create Marker without rounding key command.

Add a marker at a rounded playhead position

  • In the Logic Pro Marker List, click the Add Marker button .

Add a marker and set its position

  • In the Logic Pro Marker List, click in the Marker List area with the Pencil tool, then enter a position in the Position field.

Add markers at the positions of all selected regions

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • In the Marker track: Click the word Marker, then choose Create Markers From Regions from the shortcut menu.

    Figure. Marker track showing the Create Markers From Regions menu command.

  • In any working area: Use the Create Marker for Region/Marquee Selection key command (Option-Shift-’).

    Markers created in these ways are automatically assigned the names, bar position, length, and color of the regions they are derived from.

    Figure. Create marker by regions.

Add a marker corresponding to the cycle area

  • In Logic Pro, drag the cycle area to the Marker track.

    Figure. Dragging the cycle area to the Marker track.

Add a marker corresponding to an arrangement marker

  • In the Logic Pro Arrangement track, Option-double-click an arrangement marker.

A new marker is created in the Marker track rounded to the nearest snap value. The Marker List window opens showing the new marker. See Overview of arrangement markers.
