Click the region you want to duplicate. If, for example, you want to duplicate a guitar recording for an overlapping effect, click the recording once with your mouse. The region will look like a rectangular bar with wavy, colored lines, representing your wave forms.
Click "Edit" on your menu bar and select "Copy," or click "Command" and "C" on your keyboard, while the region remains highlighted. The region will then save to your virtual clipboard, and you can duplicate it in the location of your choosing.
Click the track to which you want to transfer the copied region. The tracks are the horizontal bars, stacked together on the main project window. If you need to create a new track, select "File," then "New Track" on the menu bar. When you select your track, by clicking the title in the left column, the entire track will highlight.
Click "Edit" on your menu bar and select "Paste," or click "Command" and "V" on your keyboard. A duplicate of the copied region will appear on the track.
Drag the duplicated region along the track to the exact location where you want it to appear. Just follow the horizontal timeline at the top of your project window and use your mouse to move your duplicated region along the track space.
Open Logic. If you want to add an audio file to an already existing project, open it by clicking "File," then "Open" on the menu bar. Otherwise, click "File," then "New" to create a new Logic project. Just as you can copy files and regions within Logic, you can copy audio files from outside of Logic to incorporate into your projects.
Drag the audio file that you want to locate directly onto your main Logic window, called the "Arrange Window." For example, if you have a drum sample that you want to copy into Logic, just locate the file on your hard drive, click it with your mouse and drag it directly onto your Logic window. A copy of the audio file will appear on its own track on the Logic window, as long as the file format is compatible with Logic. Formats like WAV, AIFF, MP3, AIC and M4A are all compatible.
Drag the file with your mouse to situate it within your Logic project. When you first import it, it will appear on your screen as a horizontal bar with colored wavy lines, just like any other Logic audio region. You can drag it along the timeline to place it exactly where you want it.
Click "View" on your menu bar and select the "Media Heading" to open your Media Bin. If you have several Logic audio projects, you can copy files between the different projects using this window. For example, if you have a guitar riff that you want to transfer from "Logic Song A" to "Logic Song B," you can make the transfer using this window without opening any additional projects.
Click the title of the Logic project that you want to import. If you only want to copy a piece of the project, such as a single track or recording, click the project title anyway, because you can select individual parts once you import the file.
Click "Import" in the lower right corner of your Media Bin. A new list will appear on your screen, containing the individual tracks within the project that you just imported.
Click the desired tracks with your mouse, then click the "Add" button. "Desired tracks" would include any tracks featuring recordings that you wish to import. For example, if you want to import a bass line that appears on track 5 of the imported project, select track 5. The selected files will copy directly into your current Logic project.
