TDM Plug-ins
TDM plug-ins and settings can be used in Logic Pro. Please make sure that the plug-ins
are installed correctly. The use of TDM plug-ins is very similar to the use of native plug-
ins. TDM plug-ins can be fully automated.
Note: Logic Pro does not support TDM Surround and multi mono plug-ins with two or
more channels.
All TDM plug-in settings are saved with the project, and are automatically restored the
next time the project is loaded.
Logic Pro can read the Digidesign format for plug-in settings (the supplied settings of
most plug-ins are saved in this format). Logic Pro automatically displays the
corresponding files in the file selector box when loading settings via the Settings menu
of plug-in windows. Settings files are usually located in a Settings folder, within the
Mac OS X Library/Application Support/Digidesign folder. The name of the most recently
chosen setting is indicated by a dot in the menu listing.
Support of TDM Plug-in Side Chains
You can select a different source for the side chain input (or key input) in some TDM
plug-ins—Compressors, Noise Gates, Vocoders, and so on. All tracks, busses, or inputs
can be used as a side chain input source.
RTAS Plug-ins
Please note that RTAS plug-ins can not be used in Logic Pro 8—only Audio Unit, TDM,
and native Logic Pro plug-ins are supported.
If you currently own any RTAS plug-ins, you should install the Audio Unit equivalents
for use in Logic Pro. Most plug-ins are available in several formats.
If no Audio Unit version is available on your RTAS plug-in installation CDs, please visit
the websites of the plug-in manufacturers.
