Project Manager
A Logic song can use many different files which are not
part of the song itself, but can be found as a variety of file
types stored on the computer’s disk drives.
These are the audio files, the settings of the plug-ins and software instruments, the
samples and instruments of the EXS24 sampler—and maybe even Quicktime movies.
Any of these files can be requested by different songs. As an example, the settings for
your reverberation plug-ins will often be requested by different songs. All of these files
can be managed with the Project Manager.
The Project Manager is launched via the Windows > Project Manager menu entry.
Main Functions
The Project Manager allows you to organize the following types of data on your disk
drives:
• Song files
• EXS24 Instruments
• Audio files (and sample files for the EXS24)
• Quicktime Movies
• Setting files for all plug-ins (including software instruments)
The Project Manager recognizes the dependencies and relationships between these
files. It recognizes which songs point to which audio files, and recognizes which
samples are played back by which EXS instrument. (EXS samples are audio files as well.
Any audio file can serve as a sample for the EXS24, in fact).
Please note that although a Logic song file saves all parameters of each inserted plug-
in, the song does not point to independent setting files for each plug-in.
