Chapter 9 Working With Tracks 203
Special Destinations
In addition to the normal channel strips, there are two other possible track output
destinations:
 No Output: Tracks assigned as No Output send no data. This can be useful in
situations where you want to store data (such as SysEx) that you don’t wish to send
from Logic Express.
 Folder: This setting is used when you want the track to play a folder region (see
“Using Folders” on page 354). Normal regions will not play on a track set up for folder
playback.
Zooming Individual Tracks
Tracks in the Arrange area can be zoomed individually—in conjunction with, or
independent of, the global zoom tools (and waveform zoom tool) for the window.
There is a default zoom setting for tracks, which is automatically chosen when a
window is first opened. This is a good compromise between visibility of text and
regions, and working space in the Arrange area.
To zoom in or out on a track:
1 Move the Pointer to the bottom left corner of a track.
The mouse pointer will change to an index finger.
2 Click and drag to zoom in or out on this track.
The individual track zoom factor, compared to the overall window zoom level, is shown
in the help tag while the mouse button is held.
∏ Tip: You can zoom all MIDI or audio tracks of your project at the same time by pressing
Command when zooming. Pressing Shift when zooming a track resets all tracks to the
default zoom setting.
Zooming the Selected Track Automatically
You can use the View > Auto Track Zoom setting (also available as a key command) to
automatically enlarge the currently selected track. Use the technique described above
to set the desired zoom level on a track. Any subsequently selected track will
automatically zoom to this level.
