David Nahmani Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Here's a quick tip: Often when arranging, you misadvertantly click in the upper part of the bar ruler when you really just wanted to position the SPL by clicking in the lower part of the bar ruler. The result is that the Cycle Mode is turned on, and upon pressing play, Logic plays the song from the left locator. You have lost your place in the song. To avoid that problem when you don't need Cycle on, make sure you enter the same value in both locators (left and right). I double click on their values in the transport display and enter '1' for both. Now you can click all you want in the Bar Ruler and Cycle Mode will never turn on!

chinjazz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 David, Guru of all! That's a great tip! I can't even count the number of times I've done this, and causing me extra mouse clicks.. Cheers! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowman Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 The obvious "Why didn't I think of that?" tips are the best of all. Thanks, David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonphoenix Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Perhaps you could make a suggestion to the Cycle Mode in the new feature database to be given the option to disable it's on/off function by clicking in the bar ruler.

BabyaSoftwareGroup Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 This is a very useful tip-as I always forget to check to see if Cycle mode is enabled/disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adroy Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Good tip, it's a typical problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiphones Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks for this tip its REALLY appreciated! Can't believe there isn't a preference to turn this infuriating things off. The number of times I've lost my place in the middle of a complex edit with this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebula Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 In Logic 8 the bar ruler behaviour changed so that clicking in the bar ruler doesn't toggle cycle mode on/off unless you click inside the cycle. So it's much more difficult to accidentally enable cycle mode, and if you do, you'll see it immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesDKimble Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Ever been practicing in a particular region with the cycle on and then start recording a good take...suddenly it gets run back over by the SMPTE when you didn't want it to? Of course you can go in and fish your take out of the folder, but what a pain in the ass...yeah, you gottta remember the green strip. I think it's a great feature, though.

JPMoore Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If I understand David's delima mine doesn't even work that way. It did in 7 and I use it as a cool too to turn cycle on an off from any where in the song. My 8 doesn't work like that, I thought it was broken.. I have to click right on the cycle to turn it on and off and that's the only way except D's tip. I got used to using that bar click when the cycle was off screen or to activate cycle while I was elsewhere and not have to scroll to it to turn it on. Why will the bar click NOT work if I want it to regardless of the transport settings? Consider myself blessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default key for switching cycle mode on/off is "/" in the numeric keypad, at least in Scandinavian keyboard. You can go to key commands and set your own.
