Q: Bounce Region in Place (ctrl-b) naming has changed in latest Logic Pro X update
As far back as I can remember (been a Logic user since v5), Bounce Region in Place (ctrl-b) has behaved as follows:
- you specify the name of the new file
- Logic creates the file and puts the corresponding new region it in a track labelled with the same name you just specified
In the latest Logic Pro X update, Bounce Region in Place (ctrl-b) still asks you how you want to name your new file/region, but now the new track is automatically named after the track where the original region was. In other words:
- you specify the name of the new file
- Logic creates the file and places the new region labelled with the name chosen by the user in a new track labelled with the name of the original track + the "bip" suffix.
So for example, you have a track called "Omnisphere" and you bounce a region in place and decide to call it "Bass", it will place a new region called "Bass" in a new track called "Omnisphere_bip". There seems to be no way to tell Logic what to call the new track, naming is no longer an option in Configure Track Header.
Personally, this change of behaviour really interferes with my existing workflow, and as far as I can tell it can't be reverted back to the way it used to work. If anyone knows otherwise please advise.
I'd like to suggest to Apple that this change is unnecessary, clunky and confusing.
Logic Pro X, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
