When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can edit the source audio files for audio regions in the Audio File Editor. For more information about working with regions, see Logic Pro regions overview. Patches You can control the sound of the tracks in your project using patches. A patch can contain one or more channel strips, each with its own settings and plug-ins, as well as a set of Smart Controls. Patches can also contain auxiliary channel strips for more complex routing.
Custom patches can be saved in the Library. For more information about working with patches, see Logic Pro patches overview. Channel strips Each track in a project is represented and controlled by a channel strip corresponding to the track type. Channel strips contain controls to adjust the volume level and pan position of the track, mute and solo the track, insert plug-ins, route the output signal, and control the track in other ways.
You can view and edit the channel strips for a project in the Mixer. In addition to track channel strips, projects contain output channel strips and a master channel strip which controls the overall volume of the project. They can also contain auxiliary channel strips, which are used to route the output from multiple tracks to a single destination. For more information about working with channel strips in the Mixer, see Overview of mixing in Logic Pro.
Plug-ins Logic Pro includes a collection of professional-quality plug-ins you can use to shape the sound of your recordings and other material. There are several types of plug-ins used in Logic Pro channel strips: MIDI plug-ins, effects plug-ins, and instrument plug-ins. In general, they modify the sound the input signal of the channel strip.
For more information about working with instrument and effects plug-ins, see Overview of plug-ins in Logic Pro. The contents of each window update to show your latest changes. Only one window can have key focus at a given time, this is called the active window.
When several normal windows overlap, the active window is the window in the foreground. The title of the window with key focus is black the titles of other open windows are gray. Inside a window, the area with key focus for example, the Tracks area is bordered by a blue frame.
In the Logic Pro main window, different areas can be given key focus by clicking the background or title bar of the window, or by using a tool in the window. Key commands only affect the window or area with key focus. Some areas, including the Preferences and Project Settings windows, open as floating windows in the foreground, above even the key focus window.
When one floating window covers another, click the one you want to move to the foreground. If the window is open but in the background, it comes to the foreground.
Tip: The key commands for opening different working areas as separate windows are shown beside the window name in the Window menu.
When clicking in the working area, be careful not to accidentally insert an event or region if the Pencil tool is active in the window. This command assigns key focus to the next open window, if it is fully obscured by other windows. You can also cycle through working areas using Tab cycles forward and Shift-Tab cycles backward. Note: If you close all open windows of a project, Logic Pro asks if you want to save your changes. Move and resize Logic Pro windows You can move and resize open windows individually, even across multiple monitors.
You can also change the size of all window elements that feature a resize bar. The size relationship of the Tracks area and editors in the Logic Pro main window can also be adjusted, by clicking between them and dragging vertically. The pointer changes to a Resize pointer.
The vertical height of the Mixer is independent of the height you set for the editors. In Logic Pro, move the pointer over the resize bar. When the pointer turns into the Resize pointer, drag the window element. Zoom Logic Pro windows You can also zoom in to see regions or events in closer detail, or zoom out to see more of the project.
Most Logic Pro windows have zoom sliders. When you zoom in or out, the top-left and selected event or region remains in the visible area of the screen. If no selected region or event is visible, zooming is centered around the playhead. You can store three different zoom settings for each window using the Save as Zoom 1—3 key commands. Use the Recall Zoom 1—3 key commands to recall your zoomed settings. These commands only apply to the active window or window area.
Dragging left increases the number of visible tracks, while dragging right increases the track height. Dragging left shows more of the Tracks area, while dragging right zooms in for a more detailed view.
Dragging down zooms in, while dragging up zooms out. Pinch open to zoom in, or pinch closed to zoom out. Zoom a section of the Tracks area using the Zoom tool 1. When the pointer is over an empty part of the Tracks area, you can simply press and hold the Option key. The selected area fills the window. You can repeat the process to zoom in further. Save and recall zoom settings 1. In Logic Pro, adjust the zoom setting you want to store. To recall a saved zoom setting, use the corresponding Recall Zoom key command 1—3.
This action returns the zoom level to the original setting, or backtracks through previous zoom steps if the tool was used multiple times. Adjust the size of an individual plug-in window In Logic Pro, do one of the following:.
Move through display levels in Logic Pro The windows in a Logic Pro project have several display levels, with the Tracks area at the highest level, and the editors normally at the lowest level.
You can work on different types of tasks, such as arranging the overall project, editing the contents of a folder, or refining individual regions, at different levels. In many cases, you can switch between these different levels directly, without needing to open or access another window. Move one display level higher In Logic Pro, do one of the following:. In the Piano Roll and Step Editors, a step up the display hierarchy shows the events of all regions in the Tracks area.
In the Event List, clicking the Display Level button moves you up one level in the display hierarchy. The display remains much the same but shows a list of regions, rather than a list of individual events, along with region positions, names, track numbers, and lengths. The MIDI region that you were just editing is selected within the list of region names. In the Score Editor, clicking the Display Level button takes you to the higher display level.
Double-clicking a staff at an empty point , reverts to a lower display level. Control Logic Pro windows using Catch modes You can control how windows update to reflect changes to the playhead position using Catch modes. When you work in Catch mode, the visible section of a window follows the playhead during playback or recording. If the Catch button is inactive, the display does not update, even when the playhead moves past the right edge of the visible portion of the window.
You also have the option of using Catch mode together with the Scroll in Play setting. If the Catch function of the window is also activated, the playhead remains in the middle of the window, while the background scrolls smoothly from right to left.
Content Catch mode is only available when Additional Options for Advanced editing is selected in the Advanced preferences pane. Turn on Content Catch mode 1. In Logic Pro, click the Catch button to turn on Catch mode. Link windows in a Logic Pro project When Additional Advanced Editing Options is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can independently link or unlink windows including the Tracks area, Piano Roll Editor, Score Editor, and Event List to control the relationship between what they display.
For example, you could set up two Event Lists, one showing arrange regions, and the other showing their contents, then click a region in the first Event List to update the contents of the second one. The Link mode options—Off, Same Level, and Content—allow you to control how information is displayed when working with related editor windows.
In this case, the display level is always one level lower than that of the top window. You can also use Content Link mode in one Tracks area to display the folder contents of another Tracks area. Same Level is not available. Create and recall screensets in Logic Pro You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets, much as you might between different computer displays.
Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key is assigned to the Stop command by default. It happens automatically, as soon as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current working view is always stored as the current screenset.
You can also switch a screenset automatically during playback using meta events. Create a screenset 1. In Logic Pro, press any numerical key except 0; for example, 7.
For two-digit screensets, press and hold Control while entering the first digit. Arrange your windows, including changes to zoom settings, the relationship of the Tracks area and editor, open or closed inspector and Browsers or List Editors areas, and so on.
Note: When you choose a screenset number that has not been saved, a maximized main window opens. For two-digit screensets, press and hold Shift while entering the first digit.
Note: Screensets 1 to 9 can be recalled by freely defined key commands, not only the number keys on your computer keyboard. This allows you to use the number keys for other purposes, such as opening or closing windows. The 1 to 9 key commands are called Recall Screenset 1—9 in the Key Commands window. Switch a screenset during playback 1. Set the playhead to the point where you want the screenset to change. The inserted meta event has a default value of 50 Project Select.
You can stop screenset switching by muting the MIDI region that contains the meta 49 event. For information about meta events, see Meta events in Logic Pro. A bullet appears in front of the screenset number to indicate that it is locked. Repeat the key or menu command to unlock the screenset. Copy screensets 1. In the Duplicate Screenset dialog, enter the target screenset number the screenset number that you want to copy to , and give it a name.
Rename the current screenset 1. The default is the visible window names. The name is automatically updated whenever a window or view is opened or closed. Import all screensets from another project 1. In Logic Pro, do one of the following:. Navigate to and select the project file that you want to import screensets from, then click the Import button.
Note: If accessing this feature via the All Files Browser, you also need to click the Import Settings button, which appears after clicking the Import button.
In the Import Settings dialog, select the Screensets option. Revert to saved screensets in Logic Pro You can easily revert to saved screensets. Some tools are common to all working areas, while others are available only in some working areas. When you choose a tool from the Tools menu, the pointer changes to show the chosen tool. In general, you use a tool by clicking a region, note, or other item in that working area. If multiple regions are selected when you use a tool, the edits apply to all the selected regions for example, the Scissors tool cuts all selected regions at the same time position.
Where tools are available, there are two Tools menus: a Left-click and a Command-click Tools menu. You can assign separate tools to the Left-click and Command-click Tool menus. You can also assign the right mouse button if your mouse supports one. For information about assigning tools, see Assign tools in Logic Pro. The pointer adopts the shape of the active tool, so you can quickly identify which tool is being used.
The Command-click Tool menu is located on the right by default, but is located in the middle when a third Right-click tool is assigned. See Editing preferences in Logic Pro. If you have a suitable mouse, you can also assign the right mouse button to any of the following:.
You can set two different behaviors for the Pointer tool when using it in the Tracks area. Set the behavior of the right mouse button 1. Click Editing, then choose a setting from the Right Mouse Button pop-up menu. Choose the appropriate menu item to assign the tool, which is available when the right mouse button is pressed while editing.
Click a tool to choose it. When the Tool menu is open, you can also use the key shown next to a tool to select it. Note: When you choose a tool from the Tool menu by right-clicking, the tool is assigned to the left mouse button. Right-double-clicking in the working area of the active window resets the assigned tool to the Pointer tool.
Set the behavior of the Pointer tool in the Tracks area 1. Click Editing, then select the behavior you want for the Pointer tool. The Loop pointer and behavior can still be accessed in these click zones by holding down Option. Pointer tool The Pointer is the default tool when you open Logic Pro.
You can use the Pointer tool to:. You can select multiple items by holding down Shift and dragging around the items. The pointer also takes the shape of this tool when outside the working area, when making a menu selection, or entering a value. Pencil tool Use the Pencil tool to add new regions or events. You can also select, drag, loop, and alter the length of regions or events using the Pencil tool. In the Score Editor, you can use the Pencil tool to add dynamic markings, accents, and other symbols to notes.
Eraser tool Use the Eraser tool to delete selected regions or events. When you click a region or event with the Eraser tool, all of the currently selected regions or events are deleted similar to pressing the Delete key. The Eraser tool can also delete an unselected region or event by clicking it. Text tool Use the Text tool to rename regions and other items, or add text to a score in the Score Editor.
Scissors tool Use the Scissors tool to split regions and events, allowing individual sections to be copied, moved, or deleted. Glue tool Use the Glue tool to join selected regions or events into a single region or event.
Solo tool Click and hold a region with the Solo tool to listen to the selected region or event apart from the rest of the project. Moving the mouse horizontally also scrubs any events the pointer touches. You can unmute the region or event by clicking it a second time with the Mute tool.
If multiple regions or events are selected, the mute state of the clicked region or event applies to all selected regions or events. Zoom tool Use the Zoom tool to zoom in by dragging over regions or other material, or over an empty part of the Tracks area.
To revert to the normal zoom level, click the window background with the Zoom tool, or click while holding Control-Option. You can also access the Zoom function by pressing and holding Control-Option, regardless of which tool is active.
Fade tool Use the Fade tool to create and edit fades, or to change the shape of fade curves. Automation Select tool Use the Automation Select tool to select automation data and create automation points at region borders.
Automation Curve tool Use to Automation Curve tool to bend or reshape the curve between two automation points, creating a nonlinear transition between the points. Marquee tool Use the crosshair-shaped Marquee tool to select and edit parts of regions.
In the Tracks area, you can select part of a region or regions with the Marquee tool and apply selection- based processing with audio effects. Flex tool Use the Flex tool for quick access to fundamental Flex editing functionality, without having to turn on Flex view in the Tracks area. Tools for specific working areas Tools specific to a particular editor or other working area are covered in the respective chapters for that working area.
Logic Pro advanced tools and options Logic Pro X provides the power and flexibility of previous versions of Logic Pro, while allowing you to turn groups of features on or off to streamline your workflow. For experienced users who have upgraded from Logic Pro 8 or 9 or Logic Express 8 or 9 , all advanced tools and additional options are turned on by default. When you open an existing project in Logic Pro X, any additional options used by the project are turned on automatically. Users new to Logic Pro can start working with basic features and a streamlined interface.
In particular, users familiar with GarageBand will find a direct match for nearly all GarageBand features. All windows, views, menus, and key commands required for standard music production tasks are accessible in the app. You turn on advanced tools by selecting Show Advanced Tools in the Advanced preferences pane.
Turning on advanced tools without turning on any of the specific additional options lets you do the following:. Additional Options When Show Advanced Tools is selected, additional options providing further expert capabilities become available, and can be selected individually depending on the type of tasks you want to perform. When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, the following additional options are also available:.
For users upgrading to Logic Pro X, any additional options used by an existing project are turned on by default when you open the project. Turn on Additional Options 1. Select any of the specific additional options you want to use.
Some features are only available when Show Advanced Tools is turned on, or when the corresponding Additional Options checkbox is selected. If a project makes use of features for example, Track Stacks that can only be created or edited when the Show Advanced Tools checkbox is selected, items using the feature will still play when Show Advanced Tools is turned off.
Features that need Additional Options to be selected have this icon. Undo and redo edits in Logic Pro You can undo one or more edit operations, and redo undone edits. Logic Pro includes an Undo History window with a time-ordered list of all edits that can be undone.
You can also change the number of steps that can be undo in Logic Pro preferences. You can undo virtually any edit, including moves, deletions, renaming, and parameter changes; and the creation of new events, regions, channel strips, and more. The Undo History window displays a list of all actions that can be undone.

In the Library and the Loop Browser, items with content not yet installed include a Download button that allows you to download the content directly. Content types The Sound Library includes the following types of content:.
Content locations Logic Pro installs Sound Library content in several different locations on your computer:. Patches Patches are stored inside Logic Pro. They may be added, updated, or removed when a new version is installed.
When you relocate the Sound Library, Sound Library content except for Apple Loops, Impulse Responses, patches, software instrument presets, and those plug-in settings stored in the app bundle is moved to the new location.
User-created content is not affected. Relocating the Sound Library to an external drive can free up a large amount of disk space on your system drive. If you change your mind or decide you no longer want to keep the content in another location, you can relocate the Sound Library back to its original location.
When you install additional content after relocation, it is installed in the new location. When you relocate the Sound Library, it is also relocated for these apps if they are installed on your computer.
This can be useful to make sure you have the latest version of all available content, and also in case the drive containing the Sound Library is no longer available. If the Sound Library is available in its current location when you reinstall it, it is reinstalled in the same location.
If the Sound Library is not available for example, if it is installed on an external drive that is lost or not connected to your computer , it is reinstalled in the default location on your system drive. You can view the capacity of the Instrument Library and Apple Loops library and delete each of these items.
If you delete Logic Pro content that is required for a patch or software instrument, Logic Pro prompts you to re-download that content the next time you try to use the patch or instrument. Download additional content 1.
While additional content is downloading, a progress bar appears in the lower part of the LCD. You can view more detailed information about the progress of the download by clicking the progress bar. Download additional content in the Library or the Loop Browser Items in the Library and the Loop Browser that require additional content are indicated by a Download button.
Relocate the Sound Library 1. The Relocate Sound Library window opens, showing available drives and the free space available on each. Unsuitable drives are dimmed, with the reason for their unsuitability shown in the Comments column.
Select the new Sound Library location, then click Relocate. If other music creation apps such as GarageBand or MainStage are open, you are asked to close them before relocation can proceed. When relocation is complete, the Relocate Sound Library window closes. You can also view information directly in the app using the Quick Help feature. Quick Help You can view a brief description of windows, controls, and other elements of the Logic Pro interface without leaving the app or interrupting your workflow.
