Logic Pro tools overview

Logic Pro provides tools for a variety of editing tasks and other functions. Tools menus are available in the Tracks area, various editors (including the Piano Roll, Audio Track, Audio File, Score, and Step Editors), and the Environment. Some tools are common to all working areas, while others are available only in some working areas. When you choose a tool from the Tools menu, the pointer changes to show the chosen tool.

In general, you use a tool by clicking a region, note, or other item in that working area. If multiple regions are selected when you use a tool, the edits apply to all the selected regions (for example, the Scissors tool cuts all selected regions at the same time position).

Where tools are available, there are two Tools menus: a Left-click and a Command-click Tools menu. You can assign separate tools to the Left-click and Command-click Tool menus. You can also assign the right mouse button if your mouse supports one. For information about assigning tools, see Assign tools in Logic Pro.
