romagromoff Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Usually I use alt button with mouse to zoop regions. I have installed fresh copy of Logic on new machine and now each time I press Alt - it copy and paste regions. How I can disable it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Not sure what to are doing here. Option - Click - Drag is a global command for OS X and is not restricted to Logic. You must have tinkered with your old computer. You don't need to use Option to loop regions just hover over the top right of the region and click - drag.

David Nahmani Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I recommend against Option-dragging to zoom in for this very reason: it doesn't work if the dragging action starts on top of a region! Instead, use Control-Option-dragging to zoom in: it always works, wether you start the dragging motion over the background or a region.

Eric Cardenas Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Ah... I thought you meant Loop not Zoom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I thought you meant Loop not Zoom. I guess zoop could be either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmedia Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 zooming and looping at the same time = zooping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Zoop in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksimon Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hahaha, that is actually a dutch kids-soap (on Nickelodeon) set in a zoo. It's pronounced zoap. It was bloody awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romagromoff Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Sorry, but I can't understand, How to fix my issue... Every time I press on Option button - Logic copy selected region and paste in on selected track. http://screencast.com/t/Jh0m05J1p I no need this option. I need Option works as always: option + click & drag = copy option + swipe = zoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Every time I press on Option button - Logic copy selected region and paste in on selected track. That's the normal, expected behavior. Logic always worked like this. Option-drag = copy. Like Eric explained, Option-drag is a system wide OS X key command for copying things: it's not specific to Logic.

Eric Cardenas Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 And like David explained, rewire your brain th use Option - control for zooming instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Eric explained, Option-drag is a system wide OS X key command for copying things: it's not specific to Logic. May be I so stupid, but I still can't understand... Now I have 2 computers (home and studio). On my home computer I have no any problems: when I press Option - nothing happens. When I press Option+Drag = copy - and it's perfect. But on my studio computer, when just press Option Logic copy selected region and paste on selected track. So, on my studio computer Option = clrt+с + cltr+v Every time I trying to zoom project I get new copied and pasted regions... I want when I press Option - nothing happens.

David Nahmani Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So all you do is press the Option key? You don't press any other key or don't click or drag anything at all? Just press option on your keyboard and whatever is selected is copy/pasted? Copy/pasted where exactly? Are you using the standard Apple mouse and keyboard or a 3rd party mouse and/or keyboard? Any 3rd party mouse or keyboard utility installed on your Mac? Normally, the "Option" key on your keyboard is a modifier: it can modify another action (clicking, dragging, pressing other keys, as in "Option-R" or "Control-Option-Z") but in itself, it shouldn't do anything at all.
