Restoring Removed Regions
Although similarly handled for most editing operations, audio and MIDI regions are
treated differently when removed from the Arrange window.
 Audio regions are merely removed from arrangement, not from the project. They
remain in the Audio Bin, and can be restored from here, or with the Undo functions.
 MIDI regions are deleted. They can be restored by using the Edit > Undo History
function.
Restoring Removed Audio Regions
When you remove an audio region that you have recorded since opening the project,
Logic Express will ask if you also want to delete the corresponding audio file. This
avoids the unnecessary wastage of hard disk space that would occur if bad takes and
unwanted recordings were retained.
If the recording was made beforehand (a pre-recorded file), and imported into the
current project, this dialog box will not appear. This prevents you from accidentally
deleting valuable recordings (that may be used in other projects).
Note: When you remove a pre-recorded audio file from your project (by pressing
Backspace in the Audio Bin), all regions that point to the file are also removed. The only
way to restore the file to the project is by manually adding it to the Audio Bin.
To restore a deleted audio region, either:
m Choose Edit > Undo History, and click on the appropriate step.
m Manually add it back into the Arrange area from the Audio Bin.
