Midi note grab: why do they all make sound?

Question

When I am editing midi notes and I select, say, 3 measures of notes: As I'm selecting them ALL the notes make a sound. It's really loud and shocking to hear, especially with percussion.
Is there a way to turn this off while I am grabbing midi notes?

Answer 1

I should weigh in here and say I knew that my remark might upset some, and it wasn't really a personal remark to the OP, more of a general "oy vey!".
The reason I said it was because this is a fairly fundamental part of Logic, available in all editor windows, and clearly has a consistent button (with tool tips).
I'm not berating anyone for not sitting and reading the manual for three months before installing the software, or expecting anyone to memorise it. But by and large, people run complicated software, and then go to the manual when stuck (actually, often they don't even do that then, even though it's under the help menu in front of them, they come and ask on forums etc).
Doing this is really not the best way to learn, in my view.
What I really recommend doing is when you have some free time, pick a chapter "Oh, today let's learn about the event editor", and just pick up the manual and read the event editor chapter. Do this from time to time, and I guarantee you'll find lots of "oh, I didn't realise that" and "ah that's cool" and "oh, so that's what that's for!" moments.
Note that in my response, it wasn't just a RTFM, I did in fact post a reasonably comprehensive answer.
And I personally find a little humour here welcome, as long as it's not intrusive and doesn't disguise the solutions and problem solving help - so please lighten up on some of the guys that do spend a lot of their own time helping others here, especially when the same "well I haven't read the manual but how do i..." questions come up time and time again - I consider a little fun to be some small relief and enjoyment about contributing here.
Without that, I think I'd probably go mad and leave...
