How do you turn on Flex time for a track?

Flex Time is a powerful feature in Logic Pro that allows you to manipulate the timing of audio tracks without affecting their pitch. To activate Flex Time for a specific track, you need to locate and click the Flex button found in the global track heading area at the top of the track list. This button, when enabled, provides the necessary tools to stretch or compress audio regions, making it possible to align them with the overall tempo and rhythm of your project.

While preferences and audio settings play important roles in configuring your DAW, they do not directly initiate Flex Time for a track. The keyboard shortcut option can be useful, but it typically requires the Flex feature to be set up specifically for the track in question first. Thus, clicking the Flex button is the definitive method to enable this feature and begins the process of applying Flex Time to your selected audio track.
