When I copy an audio region and paste it into a different, existing audio track, it won't play back. It is gray, and I can't find any indication (other than that) as to why it won't work. The existing regions play just fine. I've tried quitting Logic and re-opening the project to no avail.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Logic Pro X 10.4 with MacOS Sierra on a MacMini.
Mac mini, macOS 10.12
Ok, I'm a moron! I had not worked on this project for several months and forgot what I had done, even though it should have been obvious. I was using the "mooing" sound from the MIDI sound set in one of the tracks, and so it was a MIDI track. As I said this should have been obvious by the flat line in the region and the icon at the beginning of the track (which for some odd reason was a dog..." anyway, I would have expected a warning saying "You can't put an audio region in a MIDI track" because Logic won't let you put an audio region in a MIDI track.... Sometimes you get so used to seeing what you expect to see, you don't see what is really there.

It seems like it might be muted. Try right clicking on the region and making sure it is not muted. If that doesnt work try bouncing the audio in place and then finding the file in your logic project and dragging it back into the project session window.
thank you, FreioMusic, the region was/is not muted. When I bounced the original track and bounced it to a new track, the new track worked but if I moved that track into the track I wanted it to be in, it was once again muted. I appreciate your answering the question and if you have some more ideas, maybe I shouldn't bounce it to a new track, but I wasn't sure what else to do with it... I guess I don't quite understand all the options...
Thanks again,
Mark
