Simply drag the Tab towards the Arrange area and release your mouse button once you see a new version of the window in view.What is Logic Pro? Logic Pro is a professional music production software that offers a complete set of tools for songwriting, beat making, editing, and mixing. But more than that, many of the tabs can be "torn off" into a separate window. The Consolidated window in Logic 8 and 9 allows you to open the main Editors and List within tabs. When Logic 8 arrived one of the premium features lay in it's overhauled, simplified layout. However, Logic 9 has powerful ways to create and lock Screensets and/or use a second monitor to help you navigate and see the most information you need when you need it. The Environment (View > Frameless Floating window)īut if you want the Mixer, Piano Roll, Sample Editor, Audio Bin, Score, Hyper Editor, Arrange, etc to remain always on top as floating windows you're out of luck.but we'll get to that later!Ĭurrently, the following windows in Logic 9.1.1 can 'float': (Thanks to Steve H for contributing to this list). Personally, I'd like to have the ability to open any window in Logic as a floating window. Some windows are designed to float so that the information they display can always be seen no matter what area of the interface is selected. (See picture below).įloating windows can generally be distinguished by their squarer edges and miniature close, minimize and zoom buttons in the top left of the window's title bar. The Event List is a floating window, so even when it is not the active window, it will remain on top of all other non-floating windows. ![]() When inactive (click on the Arrange are) it will disappear behind the selected window or it's toolbar will be grayed out. When active it is on top of other windows. From the Window menu choose Mixer and then open the Event List too. From Logic's Window Menu you can open a variety of the main Editing windows in a new window. Let's start with simple window management techniques in Logic 9. Happily I was wrong, which is why I'm typing as fast as my excited fingers will allow so I can share this tip with you! I was half expecting AFloat to work well with iChat, Safari, etc, but not Logic. ![]() Once installed you can designate the selected window as a floating window, pin a window to the desktop, adjust the opacity / transparency of a window and much more. So what does Afloat do? Simply put, it is a free window management utility that works for most applications. You can download it for Leopard and Snow Leopard here. I then decided to investigate further and thanks to Mojave uncovered Afloat buried deep in the recesses of my Downloads folder. the Environment window and Lists windows are the only main editing windows that can float above the rest. At the same time I was asked about the ability to make any of the Editing windows in Logic into a floating window (always on top regardless of whether it is active or inactive). Thankfully, the other day, a member of the forums, Mojave, reminded me about one of these, AFloat. ![]() However, there were so many free utilities "floating" around vying for my attention that I simply didn't have time to include or test them all out - and of course, some of them became nothing more than another forgotten addition to my Downloads folder. I'm a sucker for trying out the latest utilities and applications for the Mac and I even featured a few of my favourites in my Advanced OS X 201 Snow Leopard tutorial. ![]()
