  1. Activate Cycle Mode

    Click the Cycle button in the control bar at the top of the Logic Pro window, or press 'C' on your keyboard to activate/deactivate Cycle Mode.

  2. Set Cycle Range Manually

    Click and drag horizontally in the upper part of the ruler (above the playhead) to define the start and end points of your cycle area using the yellow bar. The cycle range will appear as a yellow strip.

  3. Set Cycle Range from Region

    Select one or more regions in the Tracks Area. Go to 'Navigate' > 'Set Locators by Regions/Events/Marquee' > 'Set Locators and Cycle Selected Regions' (or press 'Cmd + U'). The cycle range will automatically snap to the selected regions.

  4. Adjust Cycle Range

    Once created, you can drag the left or right edge of the yellow cycle bar in the ruler to adjust its start or end point. You can also drag the entire bar horizontally to move the cycle range.
