Open and close windows

You can open editors and other working areas as separate windows, open multiple windows simultaneously, customize your window setup, and save different window arrangements as screensets. The contents of each window update to show your latest changes.

Only one window can have key focus at a given time, this is called the active window. When several normal windows overlap, the active window is the window in the foreground. The title of the window with key focus is black (the titles of other open windows are gray). Inside a window, the area with key focus (for example, the Tracks area) is bordered by a blue frame.

In the Logic Pro main window, different areas can be given key focus by clicking the background or title bar of the window, or by using a tool in the window. Key commands only affect the window or area with key focus.

Some areas, including the Preferences and Project Settings windows, can be opened as floating windows, which “float” in the foreground, above even the key focus window. When one floating window covers another, click the one you want to move to the foreground.
