# Capture Recording ## What It Does Recovers MIDI you just played but forgot to record. Like Ableton's Capture. ## How to Use It **Press `⇧⌘R` (Shift-Command-R)** That's it. Logic captures what you just played and creates a MIDI region. ## When to Use It - You improvised something great but forgot to hit record - You were jamming and want to keep what you just played - You played a pattern and realized you want it ## How It Works Logic always listens to your MIDI input, even when not recording. It keeps a buffer of the last few minutes. **What it captures:** - MIDI notes - Velocities - Timing - CC data (mod wheel, sustain, etc.) **What it doesn't capture:** - Audio recordings (MIDI only) - Automation ## Where It Appears The captured region appears on your selected track at the playhead position. ## Pro Tip Get in the habit: whenever you play something good, immediately press `⇧⌘R`. You can capture multiple times - regions will stack up.
