How do I unlock audio files in Logic Pro X?

On the arrangement window:
- Right click in your audio file
- SMTPE Lock

- Unlock

That's all 😉

Hey Sub,

From the the Finder, find the folder with your track in it, the "cmd i" for info and unlock the folder by pressing the padlock symbol at the bottom, this will also unlock all the audio inside it and you will allow your destructive editing again. Infact, you can do this for your whole Logic folder in one go if you want.

Try bounce in place first before you do anything.

I'd like to know the answer to this too!

Ok, figured it out. Quite easy actually... NO NEED TO CUT A TRACK OR PRE BOUNCE!

Start off by double clicking your audio track. You should now get the "Track" window at the bottom. There will be a tab next to the Track tab called "File." Select the File tab, and now highlight piece of audio you desire to edit. Now, your going to click the "Functions" menu, and you'll see "Change Gain." I beleive this is what you are looking for. I know I was looking for this all of the time I had LP9. I guess I should have looked a bit better. You'll also have other options such as reverse, invert + more. I definitily need that reverse one for making clean versions of certain tracks. I'd recomend haveing a copy of the original recording before editing.

Have fun!

More so, you can click the green "Pre-listen" and yellow "Cycle" keys to make sure the part you highlighted sounds fine.

NICE!!!

This was VERY useful! Thanks

thanks, indeed, very useful. K

You my good Sir are my hero!!

Sounds like you got it solved but here's one more tip: sometimes weird issues like this can be permissions problems. You can repair permissions using the Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities.
