How do I revert to 'zoom to playhead' in Logic Pro 11?

Hi all,

I recently updated Logic Pro to version 11 (I tend to update late).

I noticed the zoom behavior has changed to focus on the cursor rather than the playhead.

Is there an option to revert to the old 'zoom to playhead' setting?

I’m very used to the previous workflow and would love to switch it back.

I went and pulled out a mouse to see if I could find the answer for you. I could not. Apparently the zoom to playhead was overlooked or consciously removed from the latest Logic version. I understand why you're disappointed.

I've used Logic for some time but I don't recognize your reference: "zoom to playhead setting".

There are some playhead related options found at Settings > General > Catch.


During play back, one can catch the playhead by pressing the grave accent key (below the [esc] key) or clicking the Catch Playhead button in the Tracks window header.


What exactly are you trying to do?
