But, typical of Logic Pro X, there's another way to do it: Hit Control + Option with your cursor anywhere in the Workspace, even over a Region, and it will change to the Zoom tool. If it's over a Region, you won't be able to initiate this feature. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to have your cursor over an open area of the Workspace. To return to where you were, hit Z (with the Option key still held down). Instead of the Zoom tool, Scott explains that you can hold down option and click and drag a zoom area. Next, Scott points out that instead of selecting the Mute tool from the Tools menu, you can simply select a Region and use the key command, Control + M. The Control + S key command puts you in Solo mode, in which you can select any Region or Regions and they'll be soloed during playback Note that if you put a track into Track Solo mode (by clicking on the Solo button in the track header), it will override Region soloing and you'll hear only the soloed track. You can even choose Regions to solo in real time as Logic plays back. If you have Regions on different tracks that overlap, they'll both play. Then start playback and Logic will play only the soloed Regions, in the order that they appear in the Timeline.
You can even select non-contiguous Regions by shift-clicking. Then make your Region selections by clicking on them.
Type Control + S to put Logic into Solo mode. Scott explains that you can even set it to solo Regions from different tracks. One of the cooler features in Logic's tool collection is the Solo tool, which is designed for Region soloing. Just use the Pointer tool to select Regions first. Moving on to the Glue tool, Scott points out that you get the same functionality with the Command + J (for "Join") key command. Scott says that if you get proficient in using the Marquee tool-which is pretty straightforward-you shouldn't ever have to access the Scissors tool.

You should watch the whole video to get the full story, but the upshot is that the Marquee tool, which is by default the Secondary tool, which means you can access it by pressing the Command key, has multiple functions including selecting, cutting, and more. Next, Scott mentions that he talked about alternatives to the Marquee tool earlier in the video. Select multiple Regions and use the key command Shift + N to rename multiple Regions, and even number them. The incremental numbering also works if you select Regions and rename them using the name field at the top of the Region Inspector. Here's an additional tip: If you name the first Region with a number at the end of the name, Logic will increment it in all the successive Regions you selected. Select the Regions, press Shift+N and rename the one with the text field showing, and they'll all change.
What's more, if you select multiple Regions first, you can rename them all in one action. The Text tool is used for renaming Regions, but Griffin points out that you can do that faster by using the key command Shift + N. He says that instead of selecting it and using it to erase Regions, you can simply select Regions with the Pointer tool and hit the Delete button. He opens the Tool menu and goes through it showing the various shortcuts or workarounds he uses for each. He says there are faster ways to access the tools or equivalent functions. In this excerpt from the video, "Logic Pro X Quickstart," PureMix Certified Trainer Scott Griffin shows us why he doesn't usually access tools through the Tool menu. In Logic Pro X, like in most DAWs, there are multiple ways to do various tasks, and often some are more efficient than others.
