You can edit regions from your recordings, Apple Loops, and imported audio files in the editor. The editor has its own ruler, playhead, and grid. The types of edits you can make depend on the type of region:
Audio regions: You can split, join, rename, and transpose audio regions created from audio Apple Loops or recordings (blue) in the Audio Editor. You can also set whether audio recordings and loops follow the project tempo, adjust their tuning, and enhance their timing.
MIDI regions: You can rename and transpose MIDI regions, enhance their timing, and edit notes and controller information in the Piano Roll Editor. You can also view and edit MIDI regions as music notation in the Score Editor.
Drummer regions: You can choose drum genres, drummers, and presets, and edit Drummer region settings to control different aspects of the drummer’s performance in the Drummer Editor.
Audio files: You can split, join, and rename regions from imported audio files (orange) in the Audio Editor.
The editor is like a microscope showing a close-up view of part of a track in the Tracks area. For audio tracks, the Audio Editor shows the audio waveform of the regions in the track. For software instrument tracks, the Piano Roll Editor shows the regions in the track in a graphical view, while the Score Editor shows them in a music notation view. For Drummer tracks, the Drummer Editor shows the genre, drummer, preset, and performance parameters for the current region.
You can zoom the editor independently from the Tracks area using its zoom slider. You can also resize the editor to give yourself more room to work.
Drag the bar at the top of the editor up or down.
Drag the zoom slider located at the right corner of the editor menu bar.
