Logic Pro 7 and Logic Express 7: Previously recorded Regions are "grayed out" with Auto Mute in Cycle Record option

If you Cycle Record with the "Auto Mute in Cycle Record" option enabled, only the last recorded cycle will appear active. Any cycle regions that you previously recorded in the take will be muted and therefore appear dimmed (grayed out) and with a bullet (•) in front of the region name.

To unmute regions, use the Mute tool (from the Toolbox) —not the Mute button on the track. You can also select a Region and press M on the keyboard to mute or unmute it.

The benefit of this option is that it allows you to comfortably record take after take without starting and stopping Logic. After the take, you may mute and unmute the Regions individually to compare and composite the different takes.

If you don't want Logic to automatically mute Regions in cycle record, uncheck The Auto Mute in Cycle Record option in File > Song Settings > Recording.
