Greetings, I have a song where I would like to put in what sounds like car horns honking. I want to be able to vary the pitch and duration of the sounds. So I'm thinking I could use my keyboard through MIDI. That would allow me to control pitch and duration. However, I don't know how to find a car horn sound to use for the track. I suppose I could use a trumpet or other horn sound, and EQ it to sound like a car horn. But maybe someone here knows a better way? Please note that I have no experience with MIDI sounds, so this will be my first attempt.

David, Thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with "marquee select". I looked it up in Logic Help, and from what I can tell, it's for selecting only part of a region for copying or cutting. Can you also marquee select the entire region? Do you know why Apple would prevent us from the more normal, simple and obvious way of selecting a region of a take for copying? It doesn't make sense to me.

I found a workaround. In the comp menu, I use the export command to copy the region to a new track. Logic creates a new track (which I don't want) but at least it only copies the take region I want, not all the takes and the comp take. I can then copy that single region to the track I want. Then I delete the new track Apple created. It's extra work and annoying, but it will get the job done. If others know of a way to copy a take region directly to a track of your choice, without going through the middleman of export to a new track, please let me know.

Greetings, I'm new here. I'm trying to do something that I thought would be simple: create a new track, and then copy and paste regions from various takes into the new track. But Logic won't let me. It pastes ALL the takes, plus the comp track, into the new track. And if there's only one take in the comp, it won't let me copy and paste it at all. Is this by design? Why won't Apple let you copy single regions from a take to a new track? I am running Logic 10.2.4 on Mac OS 10.10.5. Thanks,
