Defining the Record Path
Every recording in the Arrange window creates a new audio file. To keep track of your
recordings, you should tell Logic where the data is to be written before you start
recording.
You can also define a file name for the audio files that are recorded—a kind of working
title—which Logic will automatically keep using, by appending a series of numbers to
the file name for each subsequent recording.
The path (folder) for audio recordings can be set individually for each song.
Select Audio > Set Audio Record Path or open the Record menu (click-hold the Record
button) to access these settings.
Use Audio Object Name for File Name
If this option selected, the name of the Audio Object is used as the file name for the
recording.
Pre-allocate Recording Files
If this option is selected, Logic creates the audio file for the next recording when you
record-enable the track. In addition, the audio file (buffer) for the next recording is
immediately created at the end of every recording. This allows you to start audio
recording more quickly.
Unused recording files are deleted when you quit Logic.
