Heabean Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok I've been using Logic for a good 8 years now and I just have once again one of these nerve wrecking moments with the terrible way the snap is made. It's insane, I have one recording which isn't with a click / tempo and it's IMPOSSIBLE to move things around smoothly, I turned the snap OFF and it still SNAPS TO THE f$@%ing GRID. I already broke something out of frustration, when you have to save a recording by moving around thousands of notes this is unacceptable, what the hell. I work from time to time with Pro Tools and moving regions around there is excessively smooth, how is Logic so terrible at this? I like Logic better for many other reasons but the editing things around has always baffled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Either zoom in closer to your region to move it smoothly, or start dragging the region and while you're dragging it press Control-Shift to disable the snapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heabean Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have already disabled the snapping and the point is to not have to zoom in and out constantly, all I want is for the damn regions or blocks to move when I start moving the pointer, it's really not that complicated. Control-Shift just right clicks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You stumbled upon one of Logic's many idiosyncrasies: turning Snap off doesn't completely disable Snap, so you have to either zoom in (which I understand you don't want), or use Control-Shift. Control-Shift just right clicks for me. That's because you press it before starting to drag the region. start dragging the region and while you're dragging it press Control-Shift BTW if you're struggling with basic operations like this in Logic Pro, may I suggest you consider buying my book: my goal in writing that book was exactly that, to remove all that frustration tied to basic navigation in Logic Pro! -> My Logic Pro X Book.

Heabean Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 What do you mean struggling with basic operations? Have you read what I wrote? I CAN do it it just does not operate as well as other DAW. I've been using Logic as a professional for years, I'm basically just letting off some steam here BUT I was hoping there was a solution I had missed. Now I know that's just something they couldn't manage to build properly. I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet. And no, zooming in or dragging THEN pressing control-shift is never ever a good alternative but I guess you'd realise that if you weren't just trying to sell your book.

fisherking Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 easy there. david's the most helpful dude on the planet, i guarantee he meant no harm. explore this forum and you'll see what i mean. we adapt to our software, and logic (like protools, live, etc) has it's quirks. if you like the rest of it, you can adapt to the dragging thing...
