Johnny-Boy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 How do I get the play button to show again in a Logic Pro 8 project. Actually all those buttons at the bottom of the page dissappeared including the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Try to Control-click the background of the transport bar (the bar containing all the transport buttons) and there should be a customize option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny-Boy Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thanks Dave, I'll try that if I can. But, none of the transport buttons show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny-Boy Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 I don't see the "transport bar - dissappeared. The good news is that it only affects this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Maybe you have it "folded up"..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny-Boy Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Not even sure how to access that. Is that at the top of Logic Pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 It's the main window which is the fundamental main working window in Logic. Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? - that will make it much easier to try and diagnose where you are. Screenshot is command+shift+3, then drop the image that's saved on your desktop into a reply here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny-Boy Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Couldn't get the screen shot, but I took a photo of it. Not sure if it will help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 There should be two ways to recover your control bar: Bring your mouse pointer to the very bottom of the window until your pointer looks like a resize symbol, and drag toward the top. Choose Logic Pro > Key Commands > Edit, search for "Show/Hide Control Bar, select that command, click Learn by Key Label and assign it to a keyboard shortcut, then close the Key Commands window and use that to show the Control bar.

Johnny-Boy Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Thanks David, Tried #1 - didn't work. #2 a bit complicated for me. Since this is the only project that this happened to, I think I'll leave it go. I'm thinking I must have hit something on my keypad that made the record/play buttons dissappear. Thanks for trying Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An easier way to get there perhaps: Choose Window > Open Main Window. Does the new main window have a control bar? Great, close the old one, and keep that one open. Option-click the green button to make the new main window full screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny-Boy Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Yes, the only project that doesn't show the control bar is this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just now, Johnny-Boy said: Yes, the only project that doesn't show the control bar is this one. I understand that, and my suggestion is to fix that one project. That one project can have multiple main windows open at the same time, so open a new one and if that new main window has a control bar then you can close the old one and you'll have a main window with a control bar in that one project.

Johnny-Boy Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'll try that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoony11 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 That last option helped me David. By closing out the window then opening a new main window did it. I too was experiencing a missing control bar and record and tempo options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
