Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

You have always been able to do something pretty similar. Go into cycle mode 
(select a region, make sure the green bar is lit on the bar list at the top 
then record) and play your midi on a midi track. There is a preference to create 
new tracks with each pass or not, otherwise it overlaps them I think. In each 
case, it automatically mutes the previous pass and so you can have like 20 
new tracks for the same midi channel capturing each take. At then end you can 
unmute these tracks, and cut and paste freely. You can also select notes in a 
single take in the matrix editor, use a key command to set the locators by 
events and it will only select around those notes, then use a key command to cut 
along the locator boundaries. then go to the arrange window and move this 
straight down to a new track. in this way you can get all the best bits note by 
note. you can also use the mute or solo tools (unmute all first before using solo 
tool) to audition the various takes captured to each track, in the end just 
pack them all into a folder, or delete them and delete the extra tracks.

one cool thing about logic is that you can just play the cycle too, even 
without recording, and if you like what you played, stop or pause logic 
immediately, then use the key command to capture the last take. Logic will have recorded 
it even if its not in record mode. However, if you loops around to the start 
again, then it will start a new take and you will have lost the previous one. 
So better to put it in record mode.
