Logic region selection

[MERT ÖZER]

Hi folks,

Region selection stopped working for some reason. I move to the region I want the selection to start from, and when I press Shift+Right Arrow to extend the selection to the next region, it doesn’t select. I use the Logic Magician command “n” to hear how many regions are selected, but it only says the name of the region I’m currently on. When I copy, cut, or do anything, it only affects the region I was on. Control+Shift+N doesn’t work either—it doesn’t do anything. The automation is hidden. I don’t know what the problem is.

If you want to select multiple regions use either region selection mode If you are using Logic Magician or locators with Control T. Shift arrows doesn’t work the way anyone thinks it should, I have seen sighted people scratching their heads on that one on forums as well.

If you can’t get into region selection mode its possible because of how shift arrows work your focus isn’t solely on that track anymore try moving off the track and back on to it or using Option T to focus on that track w if using logic Magician.  Is it saying anything when you press Control Shift N? Try pressing escape then try Control Shift N again. Try toggling magician on/off.  Otherwise  what type of track is this?

Also, option+shift+N to select the region under the playhead never worked for me, no clue why, using the standard english keyboard layout.

The only one who option shift N doesn’t work for? I have not seen a lot of reports from others saying that it never works. It’s an experimental feature so there is some expectation of it not working flawlessly, but it does usually work the few times I have tried it myself. If you can get on discord, in one of the voice channels on the LogicBand server and share your screen that will probably be the easiest way for us to Trouble shoot things.

Hello. 

I understand that this may sound elementary for anybody else here, but I found that using Complete Control plugins or software instruments some times get in the way of Logic Magician especially for region selection and other commands. 

In my setup here, I found that closing those windows for this plugins improves the situation considerably. 

Does this make any sense to you? 

Regards.

Nektarios.

Yes this could be a reason if you have any plug in or other windows open then yes focus will be away from the main Logic Window which Magician needs to have in focus for certain commands to work. Case in point if you have the Piano roll window open left/right arrows will select notes and not regions in the main window. If you have a plug in window open, solo, mute and speaking selected tracks may still work but some other commands for the main window may not.

You can always press VO F2 to hear which window is currently in focus and or press VO F2 twice to get a list of all open windows.
