Antaren Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I’m grabbing the lower right corner or a region to lengthen it. After I let go of the corner, it just snaps back to where it was originally. Any thoughts on why this might be occurring? It’s a software instrument track.

stratquebec Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Try this: Right click on the region -> Edit -> SMPTE lock -> Unlock SMPTE position Edited October 27, 2022 by stratquebec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaren Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thanks straquebec. When I right click on the region, I am just getting a highlighted region. So I thought I'd try this: Edit->Select ->Select SMPTE lock. When I do this, what happens is the region is no longer highlighted. I don't see just "smpte lock" nor "unlock SMPTE position." What am I missing? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratquebec Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hello Antaren! Try this instead: Control+Click on the region. A contextual menu should appears. Search for SMPTE Lock in the menu. Choose Unlock SMPTE Position. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaren Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Stratquebec, when I control click on the region, in the drop down menu I see "SMPTE lock." When I highlight SMPTE lock, I get "Lock SMPTE position." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I highlight SMPTE lock, I get "Lock SMPTE position." Ok. So it means that the region is currently SMPTE unlocked and that's what we want. There should be no padlock icon in the regions's upper left corner. Now are you able to resize the region you have a problem with? If not, try closing Logic and launch it again, start a fresh new project (not from a template), drag any Apple loop you want in, and try to resize its region. It should be working. If still not working, I would close Logic, trash the preferences, launch Logic and try the Apple loop thing in a new project. EDIT: BTW my screenshot in the post above is from Logic Pro 10.6.3.

stratquebec Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Oh man I'm so sorry I think I'm miss leading you. You're dragging from the down right corner of the region, not dragging the region itself so SMPTE has nothing to do with this problem. In that case close Logic, trash the preferences, launch Logic and try the Apple loop thing in a new project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaren Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 stratquebec--No problem. I did some experimenting. There must be something off with something in the project, because I just opened a new project, did some software instrument recording and I can lengthen the region. Fortunately, I am not too deep into the project. I will just replay the part. and start over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratquebec Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Oh that's good news! BTW, what Logic version do you use? Are we talking about an audio region or a software instrument region? Because, look at this: I found that in 10.7.4, if I SMPTE Lock a software instrument region, I’m not able to change its length. In 10.6.3, it works! Man it's confusing as hell! Edited October 28, 2022 by stratquebec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaren Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm still using 10.4.8. It's mostly been so stable for me I hate to change. It's a software instrument region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaren Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Seems like the issue is somehow linked to Smart Tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you can't resize a MIDI region while your Smart Tempo is in ADAPT mode, you need to switch back to KEEP first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! I wonder if those behaviors are bugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David. I will play around with this when I get back later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
