480 Chapter 20 Song Settings and Preferences
Audio Preferences: Display
Display Color in Audio Window
If audio regions in the Arrange window are very brightly colored, it can sometimes be
difficult to make out the waveform display in the Audio window. You can, therefore
revert to a black and white display here.
New Style Audio Objects
This setting toggles the look of the Audio Objects between the old and new (since V
3.0) style.
Open Plug-in window on insertion
With this setting on, the window of a plug-in or a virtual instrument is automatically
opened after inserting it in the corresponding slot of an Audio Object.
Audio Preferences: Sample Editor
Warning before process function by key command
Before you carry out a destructive edit in the Sample Editor using a key command, a
warning appears—giving you the opportunity to cancel it, before altering the data.
Dependent on the key commands and window combinations you are using, there is a
danger of executing edit commands accidentally. To avert any disasters, Logic is preset
so that an alert box appears before a destructive audio edit is carried out. If you feel
confident that you won’t accidentally process a file, you can switch off the alert here.
Record “Normalize” in Undo History
Disable this parameter if you do not wish to create any undo files once the Normalize
function is invoked.
Note: As normalization is generally the last step in sample editing, this parameter (if
active) can destroy the undo history. As a safety feature, a warning will be shown if an
undo history exists (and the switch is on), providing you with the opportunity to create
an undo file.
Number of Undo Steps
This parameter limits the maximum number of recorded undo steps. Use the mouse as
a slider to adjust the (number of) step(s) value.
Store undo files in Song Folder
Activate this parameter if you would like the Undo History to be stored in a sub-folder
alongside the song.
Note: This is switched on by default if the song is part of a project (see “Projects” on
page 51).
Global undo file path
All Undo History files are saved into a “global” location (a user-defined folder) if the
Store undo files in Song Folder option is not switched on.
